Say no to Mexican truckers

[MikeBjerum]

M58, et al,

Cross docking adds significant costs to transportation but is certainly one solution.  Another is 'trailer swap'.  Have companies enter agreements to haul the trailers in their own country.  Example : USA company X take a load to Brownsville and drops the trailer, then Mex company Z hooks up and takes it the rest of the way into Mex.  Meantime USA company X picks up a trailer from Mex company Z and brings it into the US.

I understand the cost issue, but my trailer drop morphed to cross docking as I added the idea of trailer quality issues and the opportunity to inspect or oversee loads.  However, the trailer swap is a good idea on its own.
