    Brazilian truck drivers will really enjoy the roads here, that's for sure... And the equipment....
    There are lots and lots of videos on YouTube of Brazilian truck drivers in the USA bragging about living in their Volvos, Freightliners, etc...

    The last thing we need is a bunch of guys playing futsol in the truck stop parking lots.

    From this article. Texas truck company offers drivers $14,000 a week
    Of course they forgot to tell those Brazilians that you need to have your own tractor /trailer, with your own insurance and fuel pay... Typical bait....

    Brazilian articles like that are deceitful and make folks there believe they can become rich driving a truck here... :biggrin_25523:
    And Brazilians driving and living in trucks in the US like to brag on YouTube about how much money they make, how easy it is to operate, how big and comfortable the trucks are, how much faster it is to load and unload here, it doesn't take days like in Brasil...

    I know a Brazilian truck driver who came to the USA thinking he would be able to start a trucking business... brought a couple of partners with him but the red tape and the amount of money were too much for them...

    Gonna have to really watch your step at the truck stops , they’ll have to put boot cleaners at all the entrances.

    We’ve had truckers for awhile dropping their piss bottles and poop bags on the ground.

    What they really want is the displacement of the American worker, don't be fooled by the driver shortage propaganda. There is a purposeful driver shortage going on. These mega companies make it hard to get back in the game for someone who has unemployment gaps on their record. I've been out of the truck for a year, ask me how I know this!
