HR6630 Passed
The voices of Truckers and citizens were heard and HR 6630 was passed last night. HR6630 will require the immediate termination of the DOT’s crossborder trucking pilot program with Mexico and revoke the DOT’s ability to grant Mexico-domiciled carriers authority to operate beyond commercial zones without Congressional approval.
Despite heavy threats from the White House and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, HR6630 passed with 395 lawmakers voting for it and only 18 voting against.
During the debate regarding HR6630 on the House floor last night prior to the vote, half of the lawmakers who spoke mentioned that they have been hearing from truckers back home.
As I always say, “there’s two sides to a story”. Read what another well respected trucking blog has to say: :

As always, your opinion is welcomed. We’d like to know your thought on this highly controversial topic.
