I know, it’s hard to keep it inside at times. Let’s see, I loathe the unions but would prefer to see their members work than alien drivers. Yes, I guess that sounds like oozing love hugh. Heh heh heh...

The ones hurt won't be union. It will be Independent Owner operators or a company driver working for a non union hauler already in some cases making what equals out to minimum wages. I drove in 1984-85 and the illegals were hurting us then. Companies paid by the mile. Then they allowed something like $20 flat rate to unload the truck by hand if needed. Would you unload a 52 footer loaded with bagged onions and lettuce? BTW the stuff even though inside a reefer unit is still iced down. Me and my driving partner could not find any illegal even in 1985 willing to do it so you know who unloaded that truck. The company paid low for the unload because of illegals.

Driving a truck requires having as much going for you as possible. Being in a truck with an American driver who can't read is bad enough. Such was my driving partner. But he could at least understand instructions and read clearance signs etc.
