    I know what u mean but it's the early 2000's when this happened. Not the 80's or the 90's. Foreign truckdrivers have ruined this industry and are looking to weed American truckers out. Something needs to be done or all truckers will be Foreign. I've been driving close to 30 years and I hate to think of the possibilities of losing our industry to Foreign drivers.

    You know, 90 years ago there were people complaining about all these "EYE-talians and Bo-hunks" getting into the transportation business. It seems that nothing changes...

    A big source of aggravation that I see on a fairly regular basis are the ones who slowly poke along only to floor it as soon you hit the next lane to pass. Then when you move back over, the offender slows right back down.

    Nobody maintains their pace.
