    Does it? Please provide that data. I didn’t know they broke it down by race.

    No most are foreign drivers who don't or choose not to read or speak English and end up taking wrong way entrances or making illegal u-turns......

    Show the actual data not your own interpretation.....doubt it even shows race...... you're just another one that supports illegals taking American jobs .....why did you go back over 7 years to pull your number from ??? The influx of migrants happened during Biden....which correlates to the increase in crashes the last 4 years....

    Oh, for Christs sake. There are MILLIONS of white Americans driving trucks. Maybe a few thousand people that cant read/write english. But YOU HONESTLY think that THEY are involved in more fatal accidents than white Americans?

    Ok... google percentage of truck accidents by race, you will get this:
    There is no publicly available data on the percentage of truck accidents by race, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2018, White drivers accounted for the largest percentage (about 60%) of fatal occupational injuries among truck drivers. In general traffic fatality data, White individuals are often the largest group in both total fatalities and fatalities per capita, though this can vary based on the specific type of crash and other factors, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

    And this:

    And this:

    And this:
    Truck Drivers 2018

    And so on and so forth...

    Now, lets see YOURS...

    So basically you just made up the statistics. Just like you made up the fact that you are a Vietnam vet.
