A TIDAL WAVE of UNQUALIFIED new truck drivers is coming

I don't think we're in any danger any time soon.

 

Funny that you chose a picture of an American driver's inability to read warning signs in pure English.
As an immigrant who is a truck driver, I have to renew my CDL every year, including TSA background check for hazmat endorsement. And the words Non-citizen are very prominent in my license. So, there we have it. Kind of hard to "fake" it.

 

But where are all of those Somali pirates supposed to work if they're not allowed to drive a truck?

 

So is it a cdl or cdls? If it’s cdls, how is it plural? How many cdls do you have?

It’s hard to take you serious when you don’t take yourself serious. Nice troll post, but you’re not going to start some mass hysteria here. I don’t know if you noticed or not, but most folks here have been ‘round the block a time or two.

 

Isn't it up the the employers to make sure that who they hire is legally allowed to drive? And isn't it up to the state to give them that license, after testing? And don't most companies put new cdl grads through a training period, which would mean that trainers have to sign off on their ability? If there are bad companies hiring illegal drivers, is it not our business to report that? If there are drivers on the road who we know to be unqualified, is it not our business to report that? If trainers are signing off on drivers who are dangerous, is that not something we need to report to our bosses? I don't understand how unqualified drivers make it through getting their cdl and a company's training.

 

And as an immigrant who's doing everything the proper and legal way, I'm guessing it's not free or particularly easy for you to do, it doesn't bother you that somebody coming in illegally, ignoring the laws, maybe no real great grasp of the English language could come in work for half of what you do?

 

If you gave a truck driver a sack full of gold bars, he'd complain about how heavy it was...
