Will this help or push rates into the crapper?

The system needs to be tweeked but mostly likely it will happen, right now all I see on Uber is the super heavy loads 44k Coca Cola loads or similar.

I just don’t see the industry staying on the pen and paper much longer.

 

I often go to my local Volvo and Freightliner dealerships to buy parts. 9 out of 10 customers are immigrants in first generation. I mean customers who buy parts and wrench themselves.
It feels like good old Americans have stopped doing the independent O/O thing.
(I probably should add that I am a first gen immigrant myself before I get blamed with hate)

 

Are there really that many Muslim drivers? This isn't trying to start any foreigners suck rants so don't go there. I'm just curious because I'm not all over the country. In and around Philadelphia PA there isn't many that I have seen, in and around Tampa FL there isn't many that I have seen. Are you lumping the Sikh guys in with the Muslims? You would see some of those guys up North but not so much here. Around here there I don't think I have ever seen a middle eastern driver. In Tampa they are all from Bosnia or Cuba if they aren't from here and up North they were all from Mexico or Poland. Maybe it's a out west thing?

 

I understand why people like blaming stuff on immigrants, but it's stupid. For some reason nobody seems to blame the Mega carriers and all their folks who drive for peanuts or do lease purchase.

 

Calm the #### down, Jesus. Many people repeatedly blame Muslims so people get touchy anytime it's brought up...you should know that by now.

 

Maybe mods can just cleanup the thread a bit without closing it, the immigration topic got out of hand again

 

Dude, #### off..... seriously. Wife make you sleep on the couch or something last night?

 

Yep, this is definitely getting shut down.

 

I do it gets old its why our country is so brainwashed with propaganda and hate cause people believe what their being told instead of looking around. People go into attack mode when certain words trigger them. Everytime i leave my house i go down the street buy my fuel at a muslim tstop but im some kind of bigit. I buy because its low in bio has nothing to do with him being a muslim. Its business not bigotry

 

Nobody here is being a bigot, unless I missed it. @DUNE-T is a immigrant, I'm the some of an Italian immigrant and we're aren't throwing bigot around. I asked if Sikh guys were getting lumped in it I asked where they all are because I don't see em and it was answered that they are all in Detroit. You are the one who appears to be triggered here with the name calling.
