    I am a quarter white, a quarter cuban and half black and you are ABSOLUTLY RIGHT. I see it weekly all over the country and it blows my mind. I am not racist, I am just a truck driving American and I do not have any problems with imigrants that do things the right way. I don't care what side of the isle you are on, right is right and wrong is wrong.

      I'm partial to fuel mileage. So I would go for a newer aerodynamic truck. You can have it deleted. The older trucks look great but you'll spend 20k or more on fuel per year just for looks. I like the used Maverick trucks, automatic, electric apu fuel efficient.

    You’re so right I’ve been In this country for 10 years, I’m grateful, but we had to wait for five years to come here do an interview and all the paperwork all that just come here and these people just cross the border it’s nothing and it’s really affecting our jobs and your Right about that later it’s gonna affect everybody in this country look at Canada right now. There’s more Indian people than actual Canadian And their actual citizen are struggling to find the job, and that will be us very soon

    I came across a driver the other day that had me speak to his broker, and then his broker asked me to drive his truck into the facility I was at to make his delivery, because security wouldn’t let him in because he couldn’t speak English. And I was thinking to myself How the hell did you get a CDL if you can’t even speak English??

    I totally understand what you are trying to convey here , but I don’t agreed with everything you said .
    First, your complain stopped short.
    You are blaming the consequences of the issues we are going through in this industry.
    You and I know that IF big businesses wouldn’t hire people without proper documentation , we wouldn’t have people crossing the border .
    Big companies created a model business that preys on trucker’s ignorance and greed . Those truckers make those big companies much more stronger , therefore they can monopolize cheap freight . The leasing model , leased purchased , those programs are a legal way to slave and exploit those “o/o “ .
    So, truckers are helping big corporations to destroy this industry , because we DONT DO ANYTHING. ABOUT IT .
    All we do is blame someone else , but ourselves.
    As you know , truckers gave up their businesses and started driving for those big companies , under their authority and under their condition . They are running for them without benefits and for pennies!!!!
    I asked this lease operator , why he was running reefer loads for 2 dollars per mile ? He is white American dude . He responded to me . I KNOW BUSINESS, I KNOW MY PLACE IN THIS CHAIN OF COMAND. I DRIVE TEUCKS BECAUSE I LIKE IT AND I DONT NEED THE MONEY !!!
    how can you change this white guy’s mentality????
    How can you kill a death man ??
    Those are the reason corporations are going to destroy a livelihood and we are helping them to destroy it .
    I’m 100% independent O/O. One truck /reefer paid off . But , I refused to haul cheap loads .
    I don’t know if I would be able to renew my insurance this coming March , but I rather go out of business than help corporations to destroy all of us .
    We must unite , we must organize . There is not other way , if we want to to compete with corporations and stay alive .
    I’m Hispanic. I came to America 30 years ago . I believe in the American dream . Freedom.
    Driving for corporations IS NOT FREEDOM!!!
    nice video .

      I agree with you. Corporations do take advantage but so do small fleet owners. We have laws in place but no one enforces them. If people decide to join together in a union, then the union takes advantage
      The only choice we have is to be independent. Hell, even OOIDA, who is suppose to be for truckers , sells insurance out the back door while telling us insurance is too expensive. Lol

      No one is going to change it for us . No one is coming to help us . Politicians , the gov and their institutions are here to take care of the rich people and big corporations that is all.
      The only way to compete with corporations , truckers MUST unite . We have to help each other . We have to come up with something to make this industry better to all of us , not just for corporations.
