    Probably one of those guys in the old run-down jalopy freightshakers with the cab suspension shot, hood and fenders a different color than the rest of the truck, mailbox letters on the door (unless it's hand-written on a piece of cardboard duct taped to the door), pulling an ex-JB Hunt trailer with a piece of carpet for a mud flap. :biggrin_25513:

    But there's just one thing I gotta point out: HE CAN READ AND WRITE ENGLISH. That's more than we can say for a lot of the guys out there these days.

    I have no idea. But I've had encounters with LOTS of mexicans who drive, but don't speak English.

    The scalemaster at the super coops in Lincoln, NE will put them out of service if they can't speak English.

    Good luck. Use this chance to prove yourself. Stick with it when the going gets tough. It will pay off.

    Because spanish letters and numbers are identical to english letters and numbers. There really isn't much of a difference between the english and spanish alphabets.

    Yeah, um.. that's true but they put those identical letters together to form totally different words that are written and spoken differently. That's called a foreign language.

    Never mind. :biggrin_25513:
