    I already think it's happening to us.

    First the indians, then white men came, now we got southerners taking over.

    The 3 or whatever many fights over the alamo dome didn't work out. Let's take the whole country.

    Canada is already experiencing this. Smart Trucking from YouTube talked about the Humbolt crash and it covered the topic of immigrants who are not adapted to standards of society.

    You should look it up.

    And the big rush to switch to automatic transmissions wasn’t the first clue as to any impending wave of unqualified drivers?

    Not all companies use E-verify yet.

    That is one of the laws they need to enact.

    Mandatory checks and deportation of anyone seeking emoyment as an illegal immigrant.

    Autoshifts are like power steering and steer axle brakes.

    Progress ;)

    Not a fair comparison. The former has more effect on who is able to drive the truck than the latter.

    We need real testing requirements. Skid pads, grades, real life stuff. Not this back between two cones and you are good.

    We should also have (and now everyone is going to have a conniption fit) real suspensions for tickets. Testing when you renew your license.

    Eh I don't have as big an issue with autoshifts I am way more concerned they learn to drive without bending stuff than any ability to wave a stick around. I have vague memories of the Bessy G ore trucks calling them new fangled single stick trucks "for siissies".

    In a decade real old times will post videos of their old stick trucks, and ##### about the soft new generation that don't know how they work.
