WTF!!! America has 150,000 truckdrivers from India!​

Do we have 150,000 applicants ready to take those jobs?

If we pay them a decent wage, yes!

 

[StatesRightsForever]

Yeah, white people never do anything like that.

Yes white people do it but we can't deport them if they are citizens. We can deport all illegals and we must.

You are really over-reacting with your disgust of this person.

Why not do a thread about the morons who issued him a CDL?

It is on THEM more than him. . unless you're saying he deliberately planned that crash?

Surely not

The real problem is majority of Americans do not want to be truckers

There is a truck driver shortage in the US

Thus they use foreigners who are willing to drive

America doesn't have enough truck drivers

The trucker shortfall risks upending supply chains, driving up prices and sending shockwaves through the broader U.S. economy.

The answer is to raise salaries for truckers. Companies would be forced to do that if we banned illiterate illegals from the job. THINK

So, the government regulates wages?

Or you are confused about the corporate wage problem?

 

[StatesRightsForever]

So, the government regulates wages?

I said just the opposite you moron. The COMPANIES will raise wages if they can't hire illiterate illegals as truckdrivers.

Truck drivers salaries are good considering no degree required and they generally are just driving. There are other tasks they may do.

Research before you think

The problem is long hours and away from family for most truckers especially for long hauls. yes local drivers do not deal with that. Also dealing with other drivers on the road. Yeah local drivers do not have to deal with time away from family as much.

Why would companies be forced to raise wages?

To get american citizens to take the jobs.

Some years ago, I read where the trucking industry has a stranglehold on transporting goods. There were ideas to upgrade the trains and tracks to carry much more of the goods and then let the trucks transport from there. We had trucking carrying little in goods making long runs. I do not criticize the industry because those guys provide us with our ways of living. However, if we can do it with trains and tracks, we should upgrade there also.

Truck driving was a good middle class job when Jimmy Hoffa was around.
