Texas too. Must have a DOT Medical Card but if your semi has farm tags and you are within 150 air miles of your HQ then no CDL necessary.

They may be shipped somewhere else, but it damn sure isn’t back to Honduras.

They are paid low wages to do this type of skilled position takes months and even years to perfect(cdl license)
A) You’re grossly overvaluing a CDL
B) I read that it was an actual tractor, which wouldn’t require any special training regardless.
C) Still a sad situation, but I don’t believe it’s some massive coverup.

Same here in Lafourche Parish.......I watch them daily pull out in front of vehicles traveling 45-50mph and complain to the local sheriff (Craig Webre) and nothing gets done

I actually saw this yesterday morning. I was wondering how her car got under the trailer at that particular angle. When I was passing the firefighters were holding the blue tarp up so no one could see inside the car. It was a sobering moment.

I know this is a billion dollar industry, but try telling that to the family of the deceased! Sad story.
Almost all the Farms in BAldwin County Alabama are like that. All illegals working. No one says anything because they want the cheap labor so they can cash in and take it easy and bitch about a wall being built.

Baldwin County, the largest population base of District 1, has long been a reliably conservative county despite steady and rapid growth that has occurred for over 30 years. More than 76% of the county’s voters backed Republican incumbent President Donald Trump during the 2020 election. Among the most populated counties in Alabama, Baldwin County had the highest support for the former president.

Raceland mill is all company trucks and seasonal workers with no CDL.
With that being said, they have gotten way safer and cleaner over the last 10-15 years.

I could see this accident the other morning while driving down 90 (It was on the service road). I didn’t even give it a second glance, it didn’t look that bad, just looked like a side swipe. Crazy

It's a sad story, and I don't condone letting illegals drive the trucks. The other part is YOU CAN'T FIND PEOPLE TO WORK. We are competing with the govt giving out free stuff.

Deceased family will get policy limits offer this week. I member when Lafayette parish cracked down on the loading sites ( required street sweepers) after a car wiped out trying to stop. 8 yr old boy in car ended up with perm brain damage.
Farm Bureau paid through the nose on that one.

From what I understand, they are given a farm exemption so they don't need CDL's but they overload these trucks as well. It takes them six miles to get up to 50 mph. These farmers don't pay taxes and frick up our roads.

Plus get tons of government welfare

I wish I could get local people to work I advertise for people to run crawfish traps and to run grain trucks and don’t get any calls so I go the H2A route I have no choice

Government welfare? Care to explain what you mean by that instead of just just giving an ignorant statement like that

Like the kid that got ground up in the poultry processing equipment in Hattiesburg a few weeks ago authorities will just wait for it to go away and do nothing.
Nothing as far as lock./out tagout training was produced with the contractor and company pointing the finger at each other. Chickens rolling up the line as we speak.
