NationWide Express LLC In Orlando, FL

When the owners are part of an immigrant sub-culture and speak primarily their own language you can bet that their drivers will too.
Most of the East Indian immigrant owned companies I have contact with have a majority of East Indian drivers. That's great for them but to an outsider it can present some really horrible communication problems.
All of our drivers speak English. Well, except for maybe one. He's from Mississippi, been in Northern Cal for thirty years and still has an accent. Sometimes he's a little hard to understand. Especially when he doesn't wear his teeth to work and has been chewing snoose. Good driver, though.

 

He came out here when he was a little kid with his folks. Also with several aunts, uncles, cousins and assorted relatives. That was in the early 1950s.
He said the opportunities to work and succeed were better than they were in Mississippi. The whole clan went to work in a sawmill in Weed and from what I hear they did real well for themselves.
