Drove for 20 years, the last 15 for a bonded carrier that carried DOW(DOD) freight and pharmaceuticals. This problem has been evident the whole time wife and I drive as a team the last 17 years. Russians, Eastern Europeans, and the influx of trash from the Middle East and India/Pakistan area. They has never been a shortage of drivers, just a shortage of qualified drivers that refuse to work for less than minimum wage. For executives to say they didn’t know about the influx is to say they refused to say anything about it. The stories of 3 or more drivers in a truck are true; truck always moves. The only thing that gets washed is their feet in restroom sinks.
Lots of Hispanics too
