    The industry has become overrun by immigrants, the magnitude by truly how much keeps surprising me more and more.

    Buying trucks is one thing, finding qualified drivers is another.
    You just can't smuggle in countless illegals to full those seats like what happened during the open border era.

    I do flatbed and I'm still getting "oh thank God you speak English" all too often from customers.

    I run west and nw most, but I see more middle eastern than anything. And probably 40%ish of those are trucks out of BC

    They need to crack down on the Carriers that knowingly hire these illegals. Shut them down.

    I never really read past "you're a racist, you're a bigot, polar bears are racist, snow is racist, Styrofoam cups are racist, toilet paper is racist, milk is racist, clouds are racist, rice is racist, cauliflower is racist, and I don't have to tell you about Oreo cookies and coconuts."

    If a random inspection blitz in Oklahoma found 25% of the people were illegals just imagine if a similar blitz was set up in California :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I think the term overrun is extreme. I saw somewhere not long ago that illegal immigrants make up around 5 percent of the entire labor force. I don't think I would call that being overran. I think there are a lot of narratives being created that has used this "issue" (or lack there of in my opinion)as a means to create a lot of false hope and promises. I feel there's going to be a letdown by many truckers because I fail to see how deporting such a small percentage of drivers is going to suddenly vault trucking to whatever many of you think its supposed to be. If anything, the industry is overrun with drivers in general, and it still will be even if every foreigner gets deported. It's not going to suddenly boost the spot market to 5 bucks a mile.
