People who don’t even understand English shouldn’t be driving 80,000 pound 18-wheelers. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Shannon Everett of the trucking advocacy group American Truckers United (ATU) has been one of the most outspoken folks about the Biden-Harris regime’s role in the surge of migrant drivers with non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). He warns the influx has transformed U.S. highways into a national security threat and a growing public safety crisis, citing multiple fatal crashes this year involving migrants behind the wheel of fully loaded 80,000-pound big rigs.
“This is an urgent wake-up call for every American,” Everett wrote on X, alongside a video warning about the hundreds of thousands of migrants operating big rigs with non-domiciled CDLs. He urged heightened situational awareness on the nation’s highways, citing concerns that lax licensing standards have put unqualified, non-English-speaking drivers behind the wheels of 80,000-pound rigs.
He continued, “Our highways are no longer safe. Reckless immigration policies and weakened licensing standards have unleashed a deadly crisis on our roads.”
Everett cited several crashes involving non-domiciled CDL drivers, including one in Austin, Texas, earlier this year that killed five Americans.
He said, “The pattern in these crashes is undeniable. Too many of these tragedies involve non-citizen truck drivers. Truck drivers who are unvetted, unqualified, untrained, and who are exploiting lax regulations because we have almost no enforcement in our industry.”
That time I found $100 dollars on ground in fuel bay of truck stop that a replacement later burned down was probably replacement trucker.
I moved quickly before someone made a claim to it.
Read that some states are now requiring proficiency in English before qualifying for a CDL.
