WarRoom: Americans don’t realize their roads are swarming with foreign truck drivers…
Revolver News ^ | April 17, 2025

Posted on 04/17/2025 6:50:34 AM PDT by george76

Most Americans have no idea what’s happening on their highways. While we’re all stuck debating the border, our roads have also been totally overrun — not just with bad policies, but with foreign truck drivers who don’t belong behind the wheel or on our streets..

Shannon Everett from American Truckers joined Steve Bannon’s WarRoom to blow the lid off this growing and dangerous trend. According to Everett, what’s happening right now should terrify anyone who drives.

That’s scary and disturbing, but it gets even worse…

An American trucker says illegals — possibly Jamaican or Haitian—are being given commercial driver’s licenses, even though they can’t speak English and have no idea how to operate a truck. He claims they don’t know basic things like how to read a scale ticket or set up their rigs. Other drivers claim California is handing out CDLs to illegals who can’t even read street signs.

This is dangerous 🚨 Reports of Commercial Drivers Licenses being given to illegals

American truck driver at a weigh station says truck drivers are there that “Can barely speak English — Jamaican or Haitian maybe”

Says after speaking to him, they know nothing about trucking, don’t know what a scale ticket is, but are on our roads driving trucks

“I can tell you is this. If you’re driving down the interstate, stay as far away from each trucks as you possibly can, because chances are there’s somebody in the truck that can neither speak English nor understands the first thing about the truck that they’re in.”

“I said, are you guys gonna load him and let him go down the road with your freight in his truck? This man does not know how to set up his truck and cannot read a scale ticket.”

From the comments it looks like truck drivers are reporting that “California has been giving CDLs (Commercial Driver’s Licenses) to illegals that can’t even read street signs”

We covered this disturbing trend after the horrific 17-car pileup in Austin, Texas.

Revolver:

You’ve probably heard about the tragic 17-car pileup in Austin, Texas, that killed at least five people, including an infant. But what you may not have heard is that the semi-truck driver didn’t speak English.

Of course, CBS News conveniently left out the fact that the truck driver couldn’t speak English—so how could he possibly understand road signs? But they did post his name.

Five people were found dead on the scene, including one adult, a child and an infant. Eleven others were taken to hospitals.

Two hospitalized adults had life-threatening injuries, officials said.

Austin police said they arrested Solomun Weldekeal Araya, 37. He has been charged with five counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault. But there’s actually a video of a witness confronting the driver, speaking to him in English. It’s clear the driver, who seems totally out of it—possibly inebriated—could barely understand what was happening—or what the witness is even saying.

You’re probably wondering how someone who can’t speak English managed to get a CDL license, right? Well, keep reading—we’ve got all the ugly details coming up.

American Truckers:

ATU has confirmed: the driver behind today’s horrific Austin, TX crash—killing 5 and injuring 11—barely spoke English. Experts say he was almost certainly on a Non-Domicile CDL. Special interest groups have flooded our roads with unvetted, unqualified, untrained drivers, endangering us all!

DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION into this driver’s licensing, vetting, and training—or lack thereof!

MORE CRITICALLY, LAUNCH A NATIONAL PROBE into the entities allowing illiterate, ill-trained operators onto our highways!

RESTORE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND INTEGRITY TO OUR ROADS—ACT NOW BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST!

...

Trucker who can’t speak English kills 5 in Texas crash—he likely had a ‘non-domicile CDL’…

But don’t be fooled… this isn’t just about truck drivers — it’s about control and who’s really looking out for the American people.

Every time you hit the highway, you could be driving next to a massive 18-wheeler operated by someone who doesn’t speak English, doesn’t understand our road signs, and barely knows how to handle the truck they’re in. That’s not just reckless — it’s deadly. And yet the politicians pushing this mess aren’t held accountable. Why? Because they don’t care about your safety. They care about cheap labor, campaign donations, and padding the pockets of their corporate buddies.

...

This is what happens when pro-illegal politicians and activists have their hands in every corner of American life — from your schools to your hospitals to your highways. And if you think they’re going to stop here, you haven’t been paying attention.

Buckle up, we’ve got a bumpy road ahead…

See it almost all the time on interstates. No, they aren’t drunk, they just drive that way, but they might be.

In Canada, the entire trucking industry seems to have been taken over by Pakistanis, who bring their cousins, indentured servants, or slaves over from Pakistan to drive trucks

I have seen families whose home is literally the cabs of truckings. The crap in buckets and dump it by the sides of the road.

If I find myself behind a panel van with ladders piled on the roof, I make sure to change lanes.

Same thing in Oklahoma. Last year I went to DMV to renew my CDL. They had interpreters for the people getting CDL’s that spoke no English.
They would have plenty of American drivers if they paid a wage for the time spent away from home.
Only time I would drive a truck was during oil bust.

https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/driver-license/non-domicile-commercial-driver-license-cdl-and-non-domicile-commercial

A non-domicile CDL or CLP is a special driver license or permit issued to someone who lives in another state or country that does not have the same driver license testing standards as the United States.

To apply, you must:

Meet all CDL requirements
Be a resident of a country whose licensing standards do not meet the US testing and licensing standards. (Per 49 CFR 383.73(f)(2), applicants holding a commercial driver’s license from Canada or Mexico are not eligible for a non-domicile CDL/CLP.)
Surrender any driver license or identification card previously issued*
Present the following documents at the driver license office:
A valid passport issued to you by the country of which you are a resident,
Either:
A form I-94, Arrival/Departure record or a successor document, or
Unexpired employment authorization document; and
Acceptable proof of Texas residency, if not previously provided
Pay the required $121 fee


I suspect the fee is more that $121

As a former truck driver I am well aware of the white Volvo flip-flop Mafia. They’re killing American citizens because they can’t read road signs They can’t communicate with the police and quite frankly they shouldn’t be driving anything let alone 80,000 lb down the road.

Follow the bonehead trucker on YouTube for more

They changed the rule. It used to be if you couldn’t speak English or read English well enough to communicate with the DOT officer you were put out of service. Now it’s just a violation and they’re sent on their way.

I knew.
As a driver I was cut off by a Pakistani in another semi.
He turned left in front of me.
If I had been loaded I would have hit him

I only trucked for a little over a year. Horrible pay. “Us” (truck company staff) verses “them” (the drivers) climate that permeates the entire industry.

My driver-trainer recently got a union job and is kicking himself for wasting so many years on the road.

No thanks. Not worth it.

Why its good for owners (often foreigners themselves) to have illegals, or even literal slaves brought in from places like Pakistan or East Africa, employed as drivers.

I heard that show yesterday. It’s been happening for years. I used to get deliveries from drivers that didn’t speak much English. The worst were the Africans that were fairly hostile.

I was under the impression that a CDL had to earned through training and successful testing. Am I wrong?

CDLs are (legally) not that easy to get. And, the specific endorsements are not that easy, either. In Texas, if they suspect a truck driver doesn’t have a particular endorsement or it’s fraudulent, they can give them a test on the side of the road. If they can’t pass it, they have to park the truck right there. But, they have to stop them for a violation first. I notice parked trucks on the side of the road or in vacant roadside lots here all the time.

Here in PRC (Politically Repressive Canaduh), the transportation business has been taken over by Indians and Sikhs. Like that article describes, they barely speak any English, can’t read road signs, and don’t know how to drive. They get a two week training course, before a cursory test, and are sent to drive.

One need only look to the accident and death stats on ON Hwy 17 and 11, that connect to Western Canaduh, above Lake Superior!

I would bet that the fellow in the article, who suggested the drivers were ‘Jamaican’ or ‘Haitian, was wrong. Most likely Indians or Sikhs.

BTW, when said trucks pull up at a truck stop, expect to see three or four pile out of the cab. Also, many times, they only stop for fuel, cooking on board the truck and relieving themselves through holes cut in the bottom of the cab. DIVERSIRY IS OUR STRENGTH!

Mostly what I see are Pakis and Indians, maybe Sikhs. Look at the names of their “company” on the sides of their doors. I have also noticed a lot of Indian restaurants along the interstates that advertise to them.
