    I'm not sure what the problem is, my contacts inside the justice department, FBI and the IRS all gave me the green light on most of these Chicago companies. I'm seriously thinking of moving to Chicago and getting on this gravy train.

    And I have to think about what you said and back track my steps to what lead me to this end. Thanks. Long story of my trucking career and what road blocks and decisions lead me here. Now I'm starting to put it all together and remembering the bad people I ran into at American trucking companies. I know hate in America. Now I know it could be the same with these foreign companies but a little different in application. Yes thinking and remembering my first driving job that paid about $500 a week and leaving and getting into near fist fight with trainer that pulled a trailer pin. The companies that told me i will never make more than $1000 a week no matter how hard I tried. The company that tried to lease me a truck that had rotting food and dirty underwear in it. The company that tried to lease to me a truck with a hole in fuel tank mechanical problems and it was also filthy. I was told they would clean it after a week of running. I could go on but stopping here. I almost forgot about thoes Great American companies and the good old people that work there. Now after trying, I'm about 4 jobs in and now starting to get turn down by companies that dont allow drives with 4 or more jobs in the past 3 years. "Road legends" Maybe they know drivers that are minority's may have been the target of hate and have tried harder than others due to road blocks. Taking this into account they know that a minority looking for higher paying job will most certainly run into hate, jealousy and have 3 or 4 jobs in a certain amount of time. So they created this in-house system of not allowing drivers with more than 3 or 4 jobs. And this is why minority drivers are going to foriegn companies but only to run into the cousins of the great American companies that are allowed to sell a scam disguised as an American dream. I'm not saying American company are any better but if you want to move the attention away from American companies bring in your money hungry cousins and let them see how Americans do business, they will get the pic and act accordingly. Give them a little leeway and you just created your cover. American trucking companies have not change and are still short changing driver with low rates. Why aren't trucking companies fighting for higher rates? Because the rates are good but the drivers are being low balled.

    Well, hey. Looks like America isn't working out for you. Either that or you have some really poor decision/planning skills.
    I would suggest that at this point you have about 2 choices:
    A. Get your stuff together and make it work.
    B. Go back to whatever Eden you came from.

    I'm just trying to get the facts straight here dude by foreign owned do you mean they are US based companies owned and set up by outside/ overseas companies. E.G we have Mc Donalds, Ford, Fedex based in Australia but are US owned companies. Or do you mean people who are from a foreign country that have now legally immigrated to the US and have started up a company? As far as rates go this is something you should of been told before you signed up with the company regardless of who owned it. As they say do your due diligence read the small print, perhaps I'm being presumptuous here, but if your driving record was not so great with a few speeding tickets etc etc you maybe had no choice but to go to one of these "companies" just saying maybe you've left a few incriminating facts out of your posts. Anyway we all make mistakes sometimes we can only learn the hard way, your all the wiser for it now so you can move on and not make the same mistakes again wish you well with your future driving career.
