Why are there so many Eastern European immigrants that drive trucks?

Easy job to fall into.

 

True, and good paychecks from the get-go. Those people work hard and the work many Americans consider hard, back breaking work, to them is a breeze. The French Foreign Legion likes Eastern Europeans because they're tough and can make it through training where other nationalities have a high dropout rate.

 

Lol only you would have the FFL dropout rate at your fingertips. Crack me up my friend,

 

It's a secret government program named as DIVERSITY PROGRAM.
Every year government allow thousands eastern europians to immigrate in the USA and force them to get CDL.
Why?
Because America need drivers who can work without whining.

 

Eastern Europe hands out drivers licence without the need to be able to drive.
I think they get their licences in the local supermarket.

 

You hit the nail on the head.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

And you can pay three of them what you would pay me per mile. And they will think they will have the almighty dollar on their side at last.

We are a Nation of immigrants but this is not going well this time around.

 

I don't want to dig too deep into this subject but I'll share my experience. I started driving on the east coast and met many drivers from Eastern Europe. Then, I moved out west and have worked with and have met many drivers from Mexico and Central America.

Like I stated, I do not want to dig deep into this and offend anyone especially in light of our political situation but I'll say that even though many people from abroad with work for less wages (a totally different discussion) I've yet to meet anyone that didn't work their ### off. I've encountered a tremendous work ethic from those from abroad. Unfortunately, Ive met more from here that complain and don't wanna drive at night or work 16 hours etc. At the end of the day, we are a country built from immigration. I'm a third generation Irishman (insert potato joke). I'll agree that the wages have gone down but what are we to do? We chose this career, let's make the best of it, have fun, and take care of our families.
