There wouldn't be a problem if Mexican trucks met the same equipment and safety inspections that we have to pass.不会有一个问题，如果墨西哥卡车会见了同样的设备和安全检查，我们必须通过。 Their insurance for running in the US should be about the same, fuel, food, tires and everything else would cost them as much as it costs us.他们在美国运行的保险应该差不多，燃料，食品，轮胎和一切代价将一如以往，我们的成本。

Between Mexican drivers and H1b visas with cheap drivers immigrating to the US and Canada, there's not going to be much reason to raise rates.墨西哥之间的司机和移民到美国和加拿大的低价司机H1B签证，有可能不会太多的理由调升利率。 A loaf of bread is still going to be expensive and will keep costing more, but it won't be because of shipping rates, at least rates to drivers.一块面包仍然将是昂贵的成本将继续多，但它不会因为运费，至少利率驱动程序。 Companies and brokers will probably make out as always, be sure of that.公司和经纪人将有可能使一如既往的，可以肯定这点。
