#3  So what's next, a waiver of safety standards?

You aren't joking, USN.

The trucks come up here with maybe one of their backup braking systems working, and hanging on by a thread at that.

And on their way back, they drop off their trailer with defective systems and tires here and pick up a newly refurbished trailer for use in Mexico.

I guess now we know how China puts up with the Norks stealing their trains.

On a serious note the Port of Seattle has imposed environmetal rules on truckers servicing the port and that has effectively shut down many truckers due to environmental rules. No word on Obama waivers for the domestic truckers.
