A TIDAL WAVE of UNQUALIFIED new truck drivers is coming

Drive through Atlanta and you get an eyefull. Crappy trucks, most with one headlight , a minimum of info on them, mostly hauling containers. Lane courtesy? Forget it. They run 60 in the fast lane. Drive in cars only lanes. Barge their way in like they are entitled, or just don't care or know better. Some cannot even maintain speed and drive with flashers on. One broke down the other day 4 lanes from the right and was stuck there. The OP is right.

 

AND you think this already didn't happen?

With the crackerjack license, a road test that my daughter could have passed when she was 14 years old and the and the press spreading lies about a driver's shortage for the past two decades, we have so many crap drivers who pushed down rates while expanding coverage of capacity for many companies, large and small.

We still haven't been seeing capacity go down, what we have seen is an expansion of capacity to capture the revenue that has yet to be close to short.

 

I agree. Tired of seeing 5 immigrants in a truck taking turns to drive while only one can actually back. It's dangerous out here and DOT better start to notice

 

U are one of the few doing it legally

 

i think, if you open up the bag, and let air into it, the gold bars will be lighter....

 

The gold bars will be heavier. You're adding atmospheric pressure to the weight. Try Helium.

LOL

 

I guess the conspiracy theorists found a new target.

 

And here I thought the trucking industry was already flooded with bunch of incompetent people that can't drive

 

Just yesterday saw an ad for company driver flatbed .75 van .66 cpm. I will go back and see if I can find the ad, it came across my facebook feed.

 

You think it doesn't happen? Have you not read the stories of people paying DMV employees off to just pass somebody for a cdl? A little about your avatar, the native americans did not believe anybody owned the land, not to say what was done to them was right. Maybe we see what was done to the American Indian and are smart enough to realize the exact same could happen to us and as is human nature, are attempting to prevent it.
