The next time you look up and see a “big rig” in your rear view mirror, think of this:
1. The Driver is untrained, unqualified and does not meet American safety standards.
2. the driver does not speak, read or write English.
3. The drivers hours of service are not enforced. He has probably been driving since he left Mexico.
4. His truck is not in compliance with U. S. DOT requirements.
5. The driver has not clue about U. S. traffic rules.
6. The truck is probably uninsured.
7. The driver is working for a third of the wages an American driver would command.
8. there goes the efficient distribution system that made America the greatest nation in the world.
0. there go thousands more high paying jobs south.
10. thank you Mr. Bush.
They’re already throughout Texas and the southwest. I met a couple of truckers in Southwest Arkansas who needed a tire on their big rig. Nice guys, but not a word of English could they speak. That was a couple of months ago.
