Well, the number of trucks overall SHOULD NOT increase much. The way it worked before is that the Mexican trucks came into the states, stopped at the border, dropped their trailers and American trucks took whatever they were carrying on to it's destination. Now they will be able to just go on.

But to answer your licensing question, in theory they should be trained and have the CDL equivalent license. IN THEORY...When it comes right down to it, no one knows.

Its not just the quality of Mex drivers, some are good, but the condition of their equipment. It has been verified many times the majority have safety problems. Their lisence requirements are up to the Mex govt,, same as the Canucks. Same as when we cross their borders.. just do not get in an accident in Mex w/o Mex insurance..
