His name sounds hispanic, but could be something else. If he is hispanic, then I'd be curious about his legal status. Anyway, this is very sad and I am very sorry for her family and friends.
Illegals are taking many of the truck driving jobs, for less money than American drivers. Their immigration status isn’t the only thing that’s illegal. They don’t bother with insurance, safe equipment, or driver’s licenses. They’re driving rates down, while expenses continue to climb. As legal tax paying drivers are forced out of business, states increase taxes to make up the difference, forcing more drivers out of business. The illegals don’t practice safe driving habits, because they know they won’t have to pay for any damage they do.
FWIW, truck drivers kill 27 Americans every day.
