    This man was just on another YouTube channel saying he got a "Cease and Desist" letter from an attorney the trucking company hired. They threatened to sue him if he didn't take down the video. He said even though he blurred out the company name and they didn't have a leg to stand on he didn't want to deal with it, so he removed it.
     
    born&raisedintheusa Thanks this.

    The warehouse I delivered to in Otay Mesa had a security guard who barely spoke English and a yard guy who didn't speak any English. The yard guy initiated a conversation in Spanish and when he didn't get a response in Spanish, held up and showed me his phone that he typed on "Puerta 18". I know that puerta means door but at least you can learn that much to communicate with the English-speaking drivers.

    The guard in Otay Mesa probably commutes from TJ every morning.

    I'm sure there aren't any homeless vets in San Diego who could use that job.
