I hope more states do this

One day we loaded about a dozen pots with fats. I bet there was only a couple drivers in that group that could even speak English. Made me wonder what DOT really does.

Over the road work used to be good across the board. Not so much today. A few companies are paying decent. Companies like Loves and Pilot have cornered the fuel market. Very few places left to get a meal or take a break. Even TA and Petro restaurants are a joke now. Some of them still have adequate parking but most charge to park. The old truckstops are gone. See more and more trucks parked on interstate on ramps to try and get some sleep. A lot of these guys never or rarely even drove a pick up before illegally immigrating. Its a real problem.

Government needs to crack down on the Russian and Pakistani legal immigrants starting these trucking companies with low or O interest loans that are hiring illegals and facilitating illegal licensing. About 15 years ago it was found SWIFT had a terminal in TN with state certified driving examiners at their driving school. Several illegal Mexicans all using the same license. SWIFT got slapped hard. Still in business but lots smaller.

These Russian and Pakistani companies (other nationalities too) are lots smaller but there are a lot of them.

The neighbor had a delivery , wasnt home, called me to help if I could. Two drivers, neither could speak english, had their load shift and needed help. They had me talk to their dispatch and send pictures of the problem. They sounded like Russians but smelled like Arabs.


Just the right amount of whelm.

Witnessed what appeared to be different illegals driving 3 rigs when I fueled up a few days ago. I was paying in line when they were. I stood to the side after I paid and just watched and listened. None of the 3 could speak English as I was within hearing distance. The clerk was having difficulty in understanding what they were trying to communicate to her.

About time this happens. They are taking our citizens job opportunities and certainly making our roads unsafe on a daily basis.

Pretty sure the law has been on the books for years requiring drivers to read and speak English, but not enforced.

Been on the books ever since I started driving in 81. Was no CDL back then but it was still a federal regulation.

There was a huge number of Turkish people, whose families had lived in Russia for 4 to 6 generations, who moved to the US. They never received Russian citizenship, even though most have some ethnic Russian ancestry. They are highly variable in appearance. I have dealt with around 40 of them. Around 5300 of them live around Dayton and Columbus. From my experience, they are mostly hard working, but sneaky, some owe me money and not afraid to exploit our system to get further ahead. They are only culturally Muslim, not real believers. Most drink, smoke and eat prohibited food.

law was passed in 1937, Obama sidelined it, stopped enforcing it, Trump is just putting things back the way they were before Obama.
