    No offense.,..But we never had a problem before around 1992.......Refugees coming here from Yugoslavia,Bulgaria and other entities getting into Trucking and Destroying Rates.

    Just the Facts my friend...Nobody ever wants to speak the truth

    Been there Seen it- You cant Deny it.

    Yes,We have Idiots too, Not just the Refugees.

    Thats why I say- No More authorities,unless you have a Book of Business and Clientel Lined up. Simple as that.

    2018 was good year and there were truck shortage that's why who had money bought trucks. They are going out now, slowly . That's the only 30% of the problem. If they all will go out still there will not be rate growth, because trade is stopped. Ports are not busy, manufacturing is not up... When trade deal will be signed with China next month we will see more loads on boards

    I don't think he was trying to slow China as much as he was trying to boost America.

    And...it's not all immigrants. Just the ones who refuse to dress professionally, or learn the language or wear anything besides pajamas. I'm also against those born here who claim to be trying to make a better life for themselves but can't seem to crawl out of their past.(I'm speaking about the hood rats that seem to be in every mega truck these days.

    Trump wanted to bring back manufacturing from China. He wanted to do it fast. I just wonder his advisers did not tell him do it slowly , without harming the trade.
    Orange growers of Florida and California are saying Trump killed us. Soybean , hay growers, some food manufacturers, automakers are unhappy... we are complaining there is no freight. Everything was ok until this trade war started...

    I want to say one more thing. You say there are many foreigners driving trucks. Who let them in? emigrants ? of course not. Who is guilty that Swift is hiring non US Resident CDL holder? emigrants? nope... :)

    Trucking cost of business is causing failure. Simply put if you had a car forsale wouldn't you go online in local market to get an idea of prices? Well brokers are simply not paying. If all truckers say listen 2.00 a mile new norm guess what some more cost will be created. It's a fools game
