How many trucks are they still importing from Mexico during this big slow down? Sounds like an excuse to layoff American workers for cheap Mexican labor to me. How many of those trucks built in Mexico are actually being sold there? Probably less than 1%. The rest are pouring across our border tax free!! USMCA is a great deal for Mexico not so much for the American workers.
The economy is not slowing down...Daimler Trucking North America has spent the last year building engines and transmissions for the slowdown as the 2029 election and new emissions standards take place.
