Driver caught twice for no English language proficiency

I agree that the Driverless truck thing, isn't anytime soon. However, a hospitality industry job as a whole doesn't involve speeds of 60 mph with 80k lbs hitting them while working in a building because the vetting process in trucking should be more invasive as many already know. Those tech Driverless computer individuals will use anything in order of saying it will 'Help the trucking industry driver shortage' and that 'Shortage theory' is a myth, there is no shortage just a reduction in pay. When factoring 'Chaos' which includes foreign Truckers causing the majority of issues from accidents, bidding lower on the spot market, chameleon carriers hiring illegals also running illicit paraphernalia with larger $1 million to $100 million plus operations bidding super low so the legit carriers in the spot market can't manage to stay a float. It begins to destroys the enter trucking market as a whole. The Chaos stays rampant, daily news blogs keep blogging, trucker forums keep posting and the redundancy keeps amalgamation with no resolved solution in the future. The general public won't care and doesn't unless it personally effects them. So as long as the system keeps supplying daily businesses with their supplies nothing changes.

 

lol, corporate America doesn’t care if you’re driving an 80k lbs at 80 mph or waving a toilet bowl brush in the air.
We got large corporate trucking companies that won’t let you idle to keep warm or cool…or they got some bs where an alarm goes off and your truck starts for a few minutes continuously waking you up.. I parked next to a Crete truck that kept turning off and on so I boosted the rpm’s on my Pete and turned the a/c on so the fan would kick on every 30 seconds, lol.

Seriously who in their right mind would work for one of those companies. What type driver’s are they going to get?

I get people living in rural areas don’t have much to choose from but other than that who’s raising kids today encouraging them to drive trucks. I’d hold my son’s head under water until he stopped moving if he ever mentioned wanting to truck.

 

A bunch of us did.

The sticking point is "who cures the OOS"? With mechanical issues, a mechanic signs the repair order. With ELP, its just the carrier. As soon as the weigh station is closed, PRESTO - the driver is back in service. Maybe take some BS online thing to "prove elp", but odds are the driver will be able to run several months if not years between inspections.

Without a third party doing a retest, this whole thing is pointless.

 

This would be me...

 

I hooked up with a chick in Key West who barely knew a word of English. Good times all around. But she wasn't driving 40 tons of death around like a missile.

 

Such a fine and upstanding company to share the road with. Thank god they only show they run 2 trucks.

 

All of that and will still get loaded, because they are cheap.
Funny how the brokers look the other way when more money goes in their pocket.

 

Sketchy brokers just like sketchy carriers. Those are the ones that load carriers like that.

So since the driver is out of service 100% of the time when this carrier is inspected. And the truck is out of service at least 50% if the time. Does someone want to tell me what the motivation of a non-domiciled driver has to obey the rules, be concerned about citations, and become a safe driver?

The non-domiciled law as constructed, and as Sean Duffy wants it to remain, has drivers entering the country on a h2a or h2b visa, working for less then a year, and then leaving the country. What is is the motivation to be a safe and responsible driver in a country you don’t live in? Why worry about citations, when you are just going to go back to your home country where they will not mean anything? Why pay citations, weight laws, speed laws, log books, truck maintenance any mind when your out of the country?
