Nogales Crossing may be a short-term problem!

problems on their trucks that endanger all of us.

Having been a trucker in the US for many years and then having traveled in Mexico for many years I can state that Mexican truckers for the most part take excellent care of their vehicles - and also that for the most part they are great drivers.

Also - to clarify - most of the trucks that cross the border then go to a terminal where they either drop the trailer or they unload - they go no more than a few miles into the US - anyone who has been anywhere near any of the border crossings has seen many truck yards full of US company trailers. The Mexican truckers haul the US trailers into Mexico with US goods and then bring them back with Mexican goods.

Though it is now permissible for Mexican trucks to carry loads further into the US than previously allowed - as I recall it has been about one year since this was allowed - very few Mexican truckers want to go into the US and very few do. They are required to speak English, pass vehicle inspections, pass US licensing tests. Only trucks from major Mexican companies go further into the US than border towns and if they do they can only pick up loads returning to Mexico - they cannot carry loads between points in the US.
