    Well, I see no problem.
    I'd be more concerned if they were all filing for welfare.
    Everyone who wants to work should.
    And a welcoming "Hidey Ho" to my Sikh brothers.

    Agreed. I have no quarrel with them. As long as they followed the rules like other drivers it’s fine with me.

    They are the cause of much of the carnage on our highways however profiling would be consider racist so the slaughter continues. Add to this list the Humbolt crash. They are responsible for most fatal crashes involving big trucks

    I can find plenty of news stories where rednecks from Alabama and Georgia caused a number of truck-related fatalities in the US. So where does that leave your implication?

    Nope,,, just the towel heads causing carnage up here
    All cases of big truck drivers charged with causing death right now are cut from the same cloth
    That’s the reality of the situation

    Welp, Im unparalleled,And Have been about this for awhile.

    When I entered trucking(Probably about same time as you).. This was a job for the American Family Man with Pride. It was mostly a White and Black ethicized occupation.

    In 1990 and beyond- Refugees from Yugoslavia began coming here in Droves because of the War between Croatia and Serbia.......

    They starting coming here and became either- cCarpet Cleaners-or Truck Drivers..

    Now,Its 28 years later- The True American Trucker has been Buried in the Sand, Everyone's Become Selfish and in a hurry.

    I would be fine with it- But they Do not communicate with us- (CB radio or in person at truckstops etc)

    That's Not what its all about out here.........

    Go Watch Bob Spooner's 2 hour interview about how it was and how this occupation has become.

    As for Sikh,Hey Communicate with us, No Problem- Cause us risk and harm- Your Outta here.

    This is exactly the issue in northern Ontario. No communication, stupid risk taking driving and the result is lots of crashes, often deadly. If they would collect the data on who is crashing the results would blow your mind. That would be racist though.

    It isn't considered racist or sexist for an insurance company to charge more for a young male to drive, because yes we do some really dumb things at that age and screw up a lot.

    If I had a boatload of cash I would start an insurance company and rate drivers based on all information and give rates accordingly. Put that in your pipe and smoke it justin, our cry baby of a "leader."
