Since I was a truck driver for 5 years, I hated the Mexicans that thought they could shut us down...
Their trucks are very unsafe, and when we would check into a ‘chicken coop’ we would hear stories that half of them didn’t have CDLs and some of the trucks didn’t even have insurance on them, and they were dirty and the drivers were worse...
US Trucking is the safest there is, we have a lot of laws to abide by and the companies that we drive for do obey the laws and so do the independent owners, and IOs hated Mexican drivers worse than we Company drivers did...
It's now gotten worse. Nearly every Mexican truck driver I pass is swerving and driving 10 mph under the speed limit as he's texting with both hands on the interstate.
