    hauling fuel makes money by volume they’re not making much per load..

    Never been 40$ an hour? Maybe in California..

    I think 20% immigrants is a very low number.

    75% would be more accurate.

    On the otr side of trucking, immigrants are the norm. Local seems to be flopped the other way. OTR is an easy line of work that requires minimal communication skills and with immigration being popular….

    I think you better have a plan driver, cause if the man has his way there'll be robots driving electric trucks! I'm not psychic but I've been known to have been called psycho.

    Yeah, that’s exactly right. They just don’t care. I don’t know why they got a good job. They don’t want it. They don’t want to abide by the rules , and they don’t want any courtesy. I don’t know why they don’t do that.

    Bottom line commercial trucking we all have to abide by my rules and try to work with each other, but I don’t see that happening. I wish it would.

    What I would like to see is input from the European drivers, why are they so negative towards us? I would like to hear what’s their side of story, let us know.
