I'm all over the country and that's what I've seen in truck stops. Just going by visuals. When I see an apparently American ( white black Hispanic) it seems to be an exception.HoundDog7 and ElmerFudpucker Thank this.

That would never fly here and showing up with a Columbia pulling a hayrack would get you laughed off the landing if the truck actually managed to make it there.Last edited: Mar 2, 2026

The nice log trucks in the Northwest haul logs that get turned into lumber. The log trucks in the south haul logs that get chipped and turned into paper and I’m sure the rates reflect that.bryan21384, AModelCat, ElmerFudpucker and 1 other person Thank this.

100% they also are paid by the load. Often times it’s between 150-350 a load. Depending on how far the mill is. It generally equals about 2.50-3.00 a mile all miles. Problem is it’s only about 250-300 miles a day. It’s hard to make money on those rates. But it’s not all chipping mills. There is lots of yellow pine lumber. But the rate is the same.Speedy356, HoundDog7 and bryan21384 Thank this.

There was the Ukrainian who slammed into a stopped car in Georgia or Alabama not too many years ago. Killed 4 or 5 people. Was working for a chameleon carrier like a lot of those guys do. He did a few months in jail and ended up getting his own authority. He's a white dude since that matters to you guys. Of course it's not really relevant to the whole discussion though. An immigrant, illegal or not I dunno, but he worked our system in a shady way to end up driving a truck. Killed some people and got a slap on the wrist. He's not the only one. How do these people come to our country and do these things as if it's nothing? If you or I were involved in that accident we'd be in prison.Gearjammin' Penguin, Speedy356, HoundDog7 and 2 others Thank this.

Laughed at
there’s a #### load of Columbias and cascadias beat to #### in oil fields and hauling logs down south.
Video is a perfect example of a log and oil field hauler… fuj them lights, fuj bold mismatched tires and a gallon of oil, coolant and hydraulic fluid under the truck every morning, as
Long as truck drives, no need for registration and insurance either, we’re driving the scenic routesLast edited: Mar 3, 2026

Unfortunately it did and I regret it… now diesel prices are at Covid high, groceries are higher than Covid, and flatbed supplies are 30% more expensive at mytee products…
But we’re making Venezuela, Syria Ukraine and Iran great again at least….
