Please Help!!!!!!!!!! (in Mexico)

Beg pardon......

The majority of the Bottom-feeders are???????

 

Just wondering, did you ever get a Mexican "CDL"? and if so, what did you have to go through to get one?

Gracias!

 

We almost do have to see if we are displacing a mexican citizen here in the US.

 

Well we are. The following is about a different industry, but there's a point in this.

ICE has been conducting raids at packing houses - and deporting hundreds of illegal immigrant workers. For the illegals it sucks. But frankly, it's not their fault. Its the scumbag employers who broke the unions (and guys, I'm not sticking up for unions here - just stating the facts) and hired non-union workers at much lower rates. Part of the landscape in that industry is that it does use mainly organized labor.

In Colorado, Greely has become a Mexican town. The Swift packing plant up there employed hundreds of illegal workers at much lower wages than other comparable work sites. The company used those workers who were subsequently deported, causing much domestic strife with the families that were broken up because of it.

"Jobs that Americans won't do?" BS. When Swift started hiring replacements for the 280 deported workers I know about in one raid, well over 1200 American citizens applied for those positions. Those are ugly jobs folks, but it pays well compared to burger-flippin'. "Jobs that Americans won't do" is just company propaganda used to justify blatant violation of our immigration and labor laws to feed corporate greed.

So back to trucking. Here comes another "Mexican Pilot Program" to allow cross-border trucking. Its about getting products shipped at lower prices by end-running our labor laws once again.

BTW - I do hope our Mexican friend got his license. Can't begrudge the hombre a chance at a decent living.

 

Thanks for the update and congrats!

Are you going to be driving intercity buses and if so, for what company (if you know yet)?

Viva Mexico 2010!!!

 

From Cancun to Acapulco, you must love the heat (or maybe it's the beach y las chicas guapas)!

 

#### I drove a Post Bus at Ft Carson Colo in 1970 . I never hauled a worse load than Humans! Cows are a better load and they #### all over the place! People, you got to be insane! While I was driving the post bus 3 drivers got assaulted 1 got stabbed and I got arrested for assault with a fire extinguisher! (The First Shirt came storming into the Provost Marshall's Office bellowing "Where's my driver? Get him out here NOW!") I sure was glad to see him! He had me out of there in 2 minutes after towering over and glaring down at every MP in the place! Charges Dropped! He was an imposing fellow and I think he liked to impose! Don't underestimate the effectiveness of a 12 pound fire extinguisher! They make dandy crowd control tools! Even after they run out they make a fair club! But I would rather have a 6'8" 300+ lb Hoppin Mad First Sargeant any day!
