4 thoughts on “Foreign Truck Drivers are Driving Truckers Out of Business”
I’m a trucker as well and I can attest to this… The government pretty much killed the trucking industry when they got involved and imposed all their regulations. They destroy everything they touch. I’m glad that I have managed to get a job that has me home 2-3 times a week and pays an excellent salary and benefits, but a lot of these companies don’t want to pay people what they deserve to do this job. Even I am annoyed that my company just put a camera in my truck that watches me all day, they took all the fun out of being a truck driver. Young people don’t want to come into this industry anymore. Who wants to be out for weeks or months at a time and make the same salary they could make working 40 hours a week and being home everyday? So now we have a shortage of truck drivers.. So what we wind up with is an industry full of third world slaves who have no problem living in a truck for months making slave wages. Now they want to try and replace us with a truck that drives itself… It’s just greed plain and simple.

Rodgeroc, that’s a very sad story and also a sign of the times.
One day justice.

We’ll need more’n a day to dole out the justice, I reckon.
I meant its arrival. But yeah, we’ll likely spend the rest of our days purging the place. Hope there’s time for some r’n’r.
