Mexican trucks not an issue for U.S. produce

"Letting Mexican trucks into the U.S. isn’t a problem for fresh produce growers and distributors, industry representatives say.


But Mexico’s tariffs, which have cost U.S. fruit and vegetable growers millions of dollars in lost business, are a problem. And until the U.S. and Mexico resolve a dispute over cross-border trucking, fresh produce business will continue to suffer, sources say."
