    I believe that is fair to say we've reached the point where all CDL holders should be expected to speak fluent Spanish or else have to surrender their CDLs.

    The event proved that operating a commercial vehicle with a language barrier is hazardous to all involved parties.

    I’ve worked at cr and have had many times I had to do a blindside and sometimes in the dark. Just get out and look as many times as you need and don’t let anyone rush you.

    That's just delusional. The only reason that's a thought is because you're in Laredo and down by the border. Most of the time, you won't have this issue.

    Stand your ground. Don’t ask to be put on any other door that opens up during the 15 hours you sat. Ask for detention pay after 48 hours. No less than $50 per day, you’re worth every penny.

    Come on man, that’s just silly. Put er in the hole! If England fired you for blindside backing, get on your knees and thank God for the favor

    Just noticed this on the CRE that’s parked next to me, while walking back from my shower.

    What seems to be the problem? It’s a break away mirror.

    Well it sure broke. Some wide load got mine but fortunately just knocked it out of the slot. Put it back and moved on.

    Some day the op will look back and say the best day of my life was the day CRE fired me.
