    If you don't have a mortgage, not raising kids, possibly live in the truck. 2 dol a mile you'll do all right.
    Always Chicago...must be that Leopold and Loeb stigma.

    Every day I see trucks on area Interstates that have both Texas and Mexican plates on the tractor. These are primarily Mexican companies that opened an office across the border in the U.S., then got DOT authority. The they get visas for Mexican drivers who get Texas CDLs. . By doing all this they can run point to point in the U.S and not violate Cabotage laws. From Freightwaves:
    Sources: Mexican B-1 visa truckers conducting illegal runs in US

    We are arguing about H2B visa and not B1.
    Canadians also do the same thing, transfer goods within US and they don't even need a visa to get in US

    Another loophole the Government allows. Literally handing over the whole Industry. This stuff is serious.

    So do I. Grew up without A/C. Never could afford a good stereo. TV was Black and White. Big color console w/ 25” screen was $500 new in 1972. Drivers had no a/c, no ps, no air ride, no stand up sleepers. They worked because they could make a decent living.

    How about those rates? Still crashing, already crashed, or totally beyond recovery? I think everyone’s making a killing. They just don’t want the rest of us in on the BIG BUCKS. Seriously, everyone is spooked about spending money. Classic car auctions are on hold. Few buyers willing to part with cash. Big Harleys, boats, same thing. First signs of recession. Campers? I haven’t heard. Usually first Industry to slow down. I need to get up and running ASAP. I know you guys are making BANK. Can’t fool me. Lol.

    I used to see ads on Craigslist in Tijuana advertising to sponsor Mexicans to get US citizenship via cdl job sponsorships regularly.
