Thousands of Mexico-domiciled commercial motor vehicles cross into the United States daily through International Border Crossings (IBCs) in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and California. Most are permitted to travel only in U.S. Commercial Zones, extending 3 to 20 miles north of the municipalities on the U.S.-Mexican border. The truck drops or unloads the trailer at a warehouse in this area, turns around, reloadsor picks up another trailer in Mexicoand makes one or more additional northbound trips a day. These trucks are processed through a facility operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and then through clearance conducted by State Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) agencies and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) inspectors. The inspectors are tasked with ensuring that Mexican vehicles meet safety and compliance requirements related to: Driver credentials - commercial drivers license (CDL) status, class, and restrictions; Federal operating authority status; Proof of insurance at the appropriate coverage level.
