Stop giving every dipshit with a pulse a CDL and the keys to a big rig.
Then the demand and comp for qualified drivers will go up. Safety will improve too.

Yes. Sorry to tell him, but a shitty job does not equal slavery. It’s just a shitty job. Do something else.
If no one will do the job maybe the pay will improve.

“Modern day slave” is open for a lot of interpretation.
Predatory lease agreements = 18th century shackles.
It’s just a figure of speech.

Thats exactly how they look at every topic, which means there is never an objective truth.

Its a job that requires more skill and knowledge than most in its payrange. Seems like better training should be pushed.

While my sample is a bit small I stop at medium sized truck stop (say 50% larger lot than the Loves in Port Allen) at the interstate exit near my house and the guys I see walking to and from the fuel rack and in and out of the lounge/showers pretty much look like the same demographic of baws I have seen driving trucks my whole life.
Correct. Unless you're on the west coast, because you'll see a lot of Sikh's, who aren't foreigners, typically, and can read English.
