“They are aiding and abetting these crazy psycho truck drivers and putting them on the roads to kill Americans.”

This is why they’ve recently recalled over 17K licenses trying to cover their AZZ.

The problem with long haul is that the truck being in operation is the final say in the driver’s capacity. The drivers can only operate a truck for 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. But what these foreign drivers are doing is putting three drivers in the cab and when their 11 hours is up they just switch so the truck can go around the clock 24/7. This means the cargo is received at the fastest time so those are the more preferred companies. And there is no guideline to cover the amount of working drivers for any one vehicle. So it is easy to put one in the sleeper, and two in the buckets with the passenger even sleeping.
