    Name of person driving, or where they are from does not matter. They are now deceased. Look at the picture of that truck. Look good and hard. And do not be the next driver to die in a mangled mess of metal for trying to save a few miles.

    ..... aaaaand that's why I never take route 33 thru WV.

    Whatever the reason that make him take that route, we shall never know.

    Let's hope he's in a better place now, spiritually... and whoever he left behind, will have the strength to push on thru life.

    You "see" more foreigners because you are a xenophobe and remember more. If you were honest with yourself and actually paid attention and rememberd all the idiots you would notice there is no larger of a percentage of people doing stupid things that have a diffrent skin color than you.

    I beg to differ. And it's not the company trucks. They have some formal training. It's the guys in the dilapidated stuff that either A. Don't care B. Weren't trained C. Stupid

    Don't speak for me. Day to day they are a noticeable problem. Not my imagination. Maybe you don't drive anywhere close to where I do.

    Foreigners are the new ELD.

    Then again you see it everywhere nowadays. Blame the outsiders, regardless of the details.

    Catching all the hate regardless of the facts.

    Raining? Blame the foreigners.
    Tire blow out? - Foreigner is to blame.
    Crime rate up - Foreigner to blame.
    Leaves fell off tree - Foreigner to blame
    pot holes? - Foreigner to blame
    Dog died? Foreigner to blame
    Wife left you? Foreigner to blame
    Penguin eaten by a polar bear? You guessed it...Foreigners to blame.
    Lack of training? Foreigner to blame
    This list? Foreigners to blame.
    Me mixing up their, they're an there...- Foreigners to blame or maybe not but whatever, I'm blaming them anyhow.

    And the sad thing is, it's not even blaming the foreigners. It's blaming it on people that have a slightly different skin color then the person doing the blaming.. As much as I think the word is over used, there is a word in the English language that describes that. Its called racism.
