How did your elected representative vote in the recent House action barring Mexican trucks?

By a vote of 285 to 143, the House of Representatives voted "yes" last week to deny the Department of Transportation the ability to register Mexican carriers to operate throughout the United States. This move bars Mexican trucks from operating beyond the commercial zones of border cities in the U.S.

For a report on how your elected representatives voted, go to the list below and you can find your Congressman by the state where you live. If you like the way your elected representative voted on this issue, let him or her know!

OOIDA applauds the action and Jim Johnston, President of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, said, "The size of this vote shows, that while there may be Congressional support for NAFTA, there is significant concern for the potentially devastating highway safety impact of allowing Mexican trucks unfettered access to U.S. highways."

OOIDA now urges the Senate Appropriations Committee to make the Sabo amendment part of its transportation bill.

Meanwhile, according to a White House spokesman, President Bush was disappointed with the House vote and is going to work to reverse it. The most logical place to undo the House vote would be in the House/Senate conference committee that will negotiate the final details for transportation spending. While virtually anything can happen in a conference committee, if the U.S. Senate were to agree with the House that the border with Mexico is not ready to be opened to trucks, it would be very difficult for President Bush to open the border next January.
