Isn’t it the CA Gov that said no Truck over 10 old can operate at the ports?

I have worked on a lot of trucks where the whole family lives in that truck. Not so much anymore because of mechanical inspections, but back in the 80s they would cut a whole in the floor so that they would not have to stop to use the potty. Those we refused to crawl under and work on.

Your description of the average truck driver in this country does not match my observations. While I’ve seen see loamy Hispanics driving big rigs I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of Indian decent, assuming you mean from India and not the domestic variety. It doesn’t match statistics either: “Using a database of 30 million profiles, Zippia estimates demographics and statistics for Professional Truck Drivers in the United States. Our estimates are verified against BLS, Census, and current job openings data for accuracy. After extensive research and analysis, Zippia's data science team found that:

There are over 672,788 Professional Truck Drivers currently employed in the United States.

16.7% of all Professional Truck Drivers are women, while 80.0% are men. The average age of an employed Professional Truck Driver is 47 years old. The most common ethnicity of Professional Truck Drivers is White (62.4%), followed by Hispanic or Latino (16.9%) and Black or African American (14.1%).

The majority of Professional Truck Drivers are located in UT, Salt Lake City and NE, Omaha.”

Oddly, most of the truckers on the road where I live are east Indian etc. There are very few white European truck drivers. I don’t have a problem with that either.

White men wrote all of the trucking songs

I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’, to be movin’

No matter where you sit, everything you can touch came to you by truck at some point, except the ground beneath you, and sometimes that too.

This site has more detailed statistics. It also shows a much larger number of drivers overall. Perhaps it includes delivery drivers and others not necessarily operating a tractor/trailer rig.

 43,079,900: Approximate number of immigrants living in the U.S. (13% of the population)

 5,225,200: Approximate number of the truck driving population living in the United States (2% of the country’s population)

 847,500: Approximate number of immigrant truck drivers living in the United States (16% of the truck driving population)

Said before..the first thing that should be done is to knock off all the lefty media darlings that spew this swindle sheet stuff.

Take away the propaganda machine and the nazicRATS have nothing.

It was kind of a fun time...I remember coming home on leave and driving around with friends who had CB radios in their cars...there was something wonderfully orderly and mysterious at the same time about it.

We had one girl, I had no idea who she was, who had a CB handle that really piqued my interest...it was “Double L”, a play on her initials. For a young man, hearing that disembodied voice issuing from her home CB station, and having never met her (others knew who she was and where she lived, but...driving by the house late at night in a car full of teenagers was the closest I ever got to meeting her.

I felt a bit like Richard Dreyfuss’ character in American Graffiti who was enamoured with Suzanne Somers in her White Thunderbird...:)

If blacks wants to try trucking, be my guest... In the 90s, my friend invited me to go to Missouri for a load to haul to Maine. Hard work, Most blacks will not last a month... I never saw a pimped Mack, KW or Pete! 🤓

Never heard rap being blasted in a truck either... 🤓
