As usual, it's all politics. If we did that, then other countries would demand we do the same by halting deliveries to Canada and Mexico.
It's not a bad paying job depending on what you do and where you go. Some over the road jobs pay close to six figures and local jobs in the 50K a year range plus benefits. Overtime? Make even more.
If we could halt all immigration to this country including work Visa's, the pay would have to increase because these sleaze ball places would have no choice but to offer more. If nobody will work for you, then you close down.
Another thing would be getting government off of our ass and make things fair for us. When you get a CDL, you lose some of your constitutional rights and there's nothing you can do about it.
. What do you mean it's all politics ?? So you think that foreign drivers out of Mexico should be able to drive on the same roads that you drive on here, but not have to carry the same credentials that you carry on you as is demanded by government, nor do they have to have the same level of training, nor do they have to have the same standard Dot health card that you have to have ???? Wow.
Not at all. I don't want them anywhere near me. But like I said, it's all politics. The transportation companies here would be outraged if we couldn't make deliveries to their countries.
I think if you want to drive in another country, you should have to obtain one of their licenses. Take the same tests we have to take. Make sure they are safe enough to drive here.
I have to take a physical every year. I'm willing to bet some of these drivers from Mexico haven't seen a doctor in ten years. Because of my disabilities, I'm barely holding on to a job right now, in the meantime, some foreigner who is in much worse shape than I am are driving all over this country.
