    Most will say its no big deal....until you start talking about Mexican trucks coming across the border then it changes.

    Oh, and you say you are in South Texas. Just sit at a major intersection around there. Tally up the ethnicity of the drivers going through that intersection.

    Is it all white guys? :biggrin_25525:

    I was reading a couple of lawsuits regarding Walmart not hiring black trucker applicants some years back in Arkansas and another company wld hire a black but not for OTR as he requested. He was told that he could work the dock. But know that I think about it I have not heard much about other than the norm high unemployment rates recently.

    What changes? People are saying those should be white drivers, or those should be AMERICAN trucks? --big difference

    I treat folks like they treat me but I have no use for those who constantly look for an excuse for their own failings.

    I think there are a lot more Canadians that drive like maniacs and can't read or speak English coming across the border than there ever will be Mexicans .

    That's what I find amusing, gripe and complain about the Mexican trucks and drivers but not the Canadian.

    I hear it on the radio, I hear it at truckstops and terminals...this is the most racist, prejudiced occupation I've ever seen.
