    I guess I'm a foreign driver.
    Been here since 1996.
    Never bothered to get my US Citizenship.

    The Green Card thing was easy for me though.

    As long as that driver has living standards similar to mine and he Is unwilling to do my job for less money, he gets my respect regardless of where he is from.

    What if that same driver, with the same or higher living standards is willing to do your job at a slightly cheaper cost to the customer, and yet actually net more because he operates more efficiently?

    How many will call foul and claim he pulls cheap freight and works for nothing?

    When my Australian buddy has his 2 teenage boys over for a visit to the US from Australia the 2 boys become absolutely plastered everyday.
    They think mixed drinks at a bar are so cheap that they feel they have to drink like drunken monkeys.

    By boys i take it they are over 21 unless your in Canada, some states in Australia have introduced lock out laws, so clubs must shut their doors after 1am, think us aussies do have a binge drinking culture its great if you own a brewery more $ in your pocket. :cool:
