    TRUCKING COMPANY THAT WOULDN'T HIRE YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR NATIONALITY
    This sounds ridiculous but it is true.
    I called to:
    RFS GROUP INC
    3234 N CENTRAL AVE UNIT 4
    CHICAGO, IL 60634

    USDOT Number:
    2317388

    THEY DIDN'T EVEN INVITE ME FOR AN INTERVIEW!
    I QUOTE: WE ONLY HAVE UKRAINIAN SPEAKING DRIVERS.
    I asked them whether they speak English, the owner said - NO!
    They come to this country, they don't just don't learn English, they are proud of it.
    This is just.. ridiculous.

    I understand when you are under-qualified. But when they tell you - we are not interested because you don't speak Ukrainian, and our drivers refuse to speak English. That's messed up.

    I am sure I would not be hired in all Cuban company for example. Let me rephrase it. I would not even want to be hired by a company where all the people are from the same ethnicity.
    I remember me and my wife stopped at a night club in Detroit, which was advertised on a radio. After we walked in we realized that we are the only white people in there. I immediately remembered all the bad movies and we were out if there in 10 min.

    I am just so shocked this thing exist here, where we are trying to erase all the borders. And become one nation.
    I am wondering how their drivers got their CDLs. Don't they need to know English to pass written test? It means they managed to get them illegally. Right?

    Ironicly, I had an English teacher in HS that was from the Ukraine. Obviously he spoke good English. We couldn't always pronounce his name so we called him Korn Waffle...

    There is no way to get a Cdl illegaly. They just learn the written test and pretrip by heart and then do a driving test. You really just need a very minimal English to pass if the examiner is not picky.
    I know it sucks, but certain people dont assimilate well, thats why you see only Chinese people working in Chinese restaurants for example.
    Their kids gonna be true Americans after going to an American school, for example my kid is going to a very mixed school, white, black, asian, indian, arabic, all kinds of races. These kids dont give a crap about race, but some of the parents unfortunately still do.
    Anyways, me being a foreigner, I want to apologize for your bad experience. I personally absolutely love the States and love American people and I know majority of the immigrants do to. You guys are great. There are bad people everywhere, please dont start hating and judge by few bad apples.
     
    Simpledriver and mp4694330 Thank this.
