    Okay, I'm just saying there's 30 or so drivers at that one account. I wouldn't lump all Schneider and Swift driver as knuckle dragging turban wearing flip flop wearers.

    I doubt it.

    Yes. This is exactly what I was thinking about. I can't imagine them bothering. They probably live off the grid

    Who says their drivers are making good money? I assume they make crap. That's why they use them, to move freight for less. Their crappy wages are more than they ever seen.
    Legit companies are paying for all the overhead to make money. And they employ drivers at ( hopefully) a good wage. You want a high percentage, buy your own truck

    Define good money.

    7K per week for an O/OP who has to pay for fuel, tires, repairs, insurance, IFTA,HVUT, Health, Dental, Life

    or

    3K per week tax free and when you get busted just change your DOT number, cos you DGAF.

    Who's gonna come out ahead because your name is one of the million Durka's that nobody can track?

    Is there any proof these foreign drivers on 1099's are making all this money and doing all this illegal stuff? Does somebody have actual links and not truck stop lunch counter sources?

    I thought the whole point of foreign ran 1099's was to pay the foreign drivers less because the foreign drivers will accept less because of the low salaries/exchange rates back home?

    It's not the H-2B visas that are killing trucking. It's the abuse of the B1 and B2 visas. They are supposed to bring a load into the U.S., then either reload for their home country or return empty. Instead they keep running point to point in the U.S. violating existing Cabotage laws while taking rates o the bottom.
