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

[Kilroy2]

Your assuming that it the only salary in the family. It is just the wages for one person

Your assuming as you do not know if the driver is married

Your assuming what state they are in

Mississippi, Kansas, Alabama, Kansas are the cheapest states to live in

If you live in California then usually the wages are higher to survive in Cali.

Trump should bring in an additional 150,000 Indians to be truck drivers. It's not like MAGA will hold him accountable for it.

53K is what?

Not enough income to buy house.

Or rent an apartment in a good neighborhood.

In most cities you can rent a nice apartment for $1200. 53K is plenty to live on if you buy only stuff you need and not silly status symbols. But boobus americanus wants that brand new $80,000 SUV when a 20 year old sedan will work just as well and cost 4k.

I would have thought maybe 2000. This is insane. Like all third world sewer people, they have no concern for others and think nothing of killing innocent people if it will save them a few minutes driving time.

Indian Politician Defends Indian U-Turn Trucker

First of all, **** you for making me click a breitbart link.

Second, that link actually says:

"Badal claimed 150,000 Indians are working in the trucking sector. The number is likely inflated"​

Some mook "making a claim" is what breitbart has always been all about.

Three thousand journalists arrived at the SCO summit.
Russia, China, India, and Iran – half the world – are at the table.

A multipolar world in its purest form: without the Western extras. Now their place is in the gallery.

While Brussels is struggling with yet another round of sanctions, real politics is being made where they were not invited.

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.

simple google search will pull up numerous stories on the same topic.

It is simple, a truck driver shortage will draw in others from another country to fill the void. Those who hire will hire them or go broke.

So as people complain about foreigners driving, the trucking industry is devising a new strategy

The first fully self-driving trucks are currently being tested in Texas, with plans to expand the study later this year.

So choose automated self driven Trucks or foreigners driving Trucks

This really shows how bad the situation is with truck driver shortages

importing cheap third world labor is not a new strategy.


It is the old strategy.


RAISING WAGES, would be a new strategy. And a good one.

They killed off all of the owner operator truckers... the unions helped that effort... now its all big trucking... they need to yank that trucking companies license for hiring a non english speaking driver....

Owner operators existed for decades after the Teamsters lost their power.

Owner operators existed for decades after the Teamsters lost their power.

Its not just the truck drivers union... it dock workers too... did you know non union independent drivers have to drop their load miles away from the docks and a union driver picks it up and brings it in?... they need to straighten this out.... today if you don't drive for a big shipping company you struggle... when dems say they are against big corporations they are lying... they have their hands out for big dollars from big business.... in all aspects of our economy...

Name those cities and we can all investigate the rent paid.

Don't see that's possible

Somebody’s gotta do the shit jobs that real Americans won’t do anymore.

Truck driving pays more than welfare

Truck driving pays more than welfare

Hey look! Another trucking company Supra went belly up.

 

[hadit]

Because the number of people in the US who aspire to be truck drivers is low. Also just because they are from America does not guarentee that there will be no trucking accidents.

How many people on the board want to be a truck driver ?

Long hours doing a tedious job

Hey , daddy I want to be a truck driver
Yeah that what parents want to hear

Drive for Walmart and make 6 figures. That's one reason people do it.

 

[M14 Shooter]

I love the whining on social media about this.

If you lost your job because you cannot speak/read English, you should never have been issued a CDL in the first place.

Hey look! Another trucking company Supra went belly up.

Why do you think that was?

 

[Blaster]

Stay off the highway.
