This is my first post on this board but have been watching this board for a few weeks. I am in the trucking business and have been involved in Satellite tracking systems for at least 15 years. I find the post amusing and full of inaccuracies on both sides. I have been concerned why MCCY would post government agencies as customers but according to the following press release from today, The FMCSA will be contracting with one of the Satellite Tracking companies to monitor Mexican trucks coming into the US and US trucks in Mexico.

FMCSA to Track Mexican Trucks
Agency to Use Satellite Systems

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said Thursday it would be tracking Mexican trucks participating in a cross-border trucking program with satellite technology.

The agency said it planned to issue a contract “to provide satellite terminals for the near real-time tracking of commercial trucks traveling throughout the continental U.S. and Mexico . . . at no cost to the participating trucking companies.”

FMCSA Administrator John Hill said the tracking will allow the agency to monitor the carriers for safety violations and violations of cabotage rules.

U.S. trucks traveling in Mexico will also be tracked, FMSCA said. There was no announcement for when the contract would be issued.
