    Definitely something that grabs headlines but unfortunately the fact still remains we got a major problem with illegals driving semis on our roadways..

    In the articles out there I saw 520 vehicles were stopped. 25% overall were illegal and arrested.
    Some cars but mostly truck drivers were arrested and trucks were impounded.

    Can find many news just by searching "Oklahoma ice arrest truck drivers"

    Imagine being a carrier telling customer load will be late because their driver was arrested for being illegal and your load along with our truck is now impounded. :oops:

    This industry has become all about doing the work cheap, cheap is all everybody cares about.
    When I speak to brokers nobody asks me the age of equipment and condition, how many years driver experience has etc.

    None of that is valued. Only how cheap to get someone to show up.

    The overwhelming push for "cheap" has lead to illegals in trucks now.

    Safe and quality isn't appreciated anymore.
    It's very sad.

    Approximately 90 people arrested were commercial truck drivers, and Tipton said their vehicles were impounded at local storage yards. Tipton said the drivers held commercial licenses issued in multiple states, including California, New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois

    Those are actually issued to native born Americans who were not given a name when born.

    There is no law in the United States requiring parents to name their children.

    Notice how the pic is blacked out...probally a pic of an Anglo-Saxon

    It's entirely possible they were racially targeting. And just because they arrest somebody doesn't mean they're illegal.

    An arrest for no crime is never okay.
