How do you know or is this just a guess?
You do know that this country gives citizenship to 5,000,000 immigrants every year on average?
You’re talking about less than 15,000 people over 4-5 years with a technically fictitious last name? If they actually used the last names they were born with their names wouldn’t even show up on that graph.
If you’re trying to imply that they are the ones that are non-domiciled (lots of US citizens are non-domiciled also) I highly doubt it’s a significant number.
The ones who are more likely to be are the ones who come from places like Somali etc. They come here legally on a work visa, live in the truck and therefore legally non-domiciled.
Whose fault…I won’t go into the politics side because it’s the wrong forum.
Look, we lost a lot of freight to rail and we “American” drivers couldn’t handle the load so we got an influx of migrants on work visas.
There’s 65,000 visas that are available this year for congress to distribute, perhaps watch where they go..watch how the ATA presses on about the driver shortage.
Back to the graph..take all the American sounding names and put them in the Smith pile and that will give an honest assessment.
It’s really just a BS graph created by who knows who and what the were trying to honestly accomplish.
How is this even possible?

It just shows the future of trucking. I use to think it was just in Canada where they're about 80% of the Trucking industry. However, many states seem to have a 'Singh' or 2 owning a trucking company. Basic numerology. Western civilization are not having 3 dozen kids. Therefore eventually people as the Majority amalgamates.

Said that they were often discriminated by officials who treated all Sikhs as potential terrorists.
I have had two brothers and only one used Singh. -

I would disagree with LOTS of US Citizens are non-domiciled CDL holders.
For a U.S. citizen, obtaining a non-domiciled CDL might occur in the following scenarios:
- Residency in Another State or Country: If a U.S. citizen is not a resident of the state issuing the CDL but needs to operate commercial vehicles there, they may be eligible for a non-domiciled CDL. For example, a citizen might live abroad or in another state but need a CDL for work in a specific state.
- Temporary or Special Circumstances: Some states issue non-domiciled CDLs for U.S. citizens who cannot establish domicile in the state due to temporary relocation, military service, or other reasons but still need to drive commercially.
- Federal and State Regulations: According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a CDL must typically be issued by the state where the driver is domiciled. However, exceptions exist for non-domiciled CDLs, often for non-residents or foreign nationals. A U.S. citizen might qualify if they lack a fixed address in the state or meet other criteria defined by state law.
