NAU WATCH:1st U.S. truck rolls across Mexican border

Less than a week after the first Mexican trucks were allowed to cross the border and travel throughout the U.S., the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced today the first U.S.-based trucks crossed into Mexico to deliver goods.Meanwhile, the senator who sponsored an amendment approved this week that would stop the bilateral truck agreement says Congress has no intention of compromising with the administration.Stagecoach Cartage and Distribution, an El Paso-based trucking company,became the first-ever U.S. trucker to haul a shipment across the Mexico border.The truck went through the Nogales, Ariz., commercial border crossing at about 9 a.m. local time on its way to Obregon, near Hermosillo, to deliver a load of plastic resin."Today is historic.
