No mention of the driver's name. It would be a shame if this somehow ended up in Fox News' inbox.

Do it. No reason the employer can't open the books

Ready to blame the employer as well? Because that's the key to a border "crisis".

---

Yes. Employers should face very large fines and eventually revocation of licenses to operate for hiring illegals.

All employers in every sector.

That and taxing the living frick out of remittances are the only ways to address the “demand” for illegal labor. At least since we’re going to blatantly refuse to actually secure the border apparently.

50% would shut it down fastly

I live in St. Martin Parish and these trucks and tractors are out everyday. Can’t recall the last time I saw one involved in a wreck. They are honestly driven better than non farm trucks. Nothing but safe and courteous drivers around here working for Lasuca.

The industry have improved greatly in recent years. Seldom do I see mud on the roads. Almost every loading site has a gravel work area. Road trailers line up at the edge of the gravel and the field trailers pull up along side and transfer the cane. No longer do muddy field trailers enter the roadway.

Off season maintenance of all the equipment is done at their maintenance facility. Every trailer and truck gets serviced and checked. It is a huge operation.

My only gripe is when they use tractors to pull trailers to the mill. They are slow but are only used when the field is near the mill.

You’re grossly overvaluing a CDL

---

1. You must take a DOT certifed physical and DOT drug test to qualify for CDL school and every two yrs or yearly depending if that said driver has certain ailments.
2. You must attend a CDL School that will take anywhere from 4 weeks to 4 months and pass a state road test and written test. It is not easy. During the road test, you must recite a 130 point pre trip inspection of your truck/trailer then pass a 3 major backings and then go on the road.
3. Go to dmv and test there and get your CDL A,B what have you woth which ever endorsements you trained for.
4. Then you get a job and drive and drive then drive some more just to get some experience that these illegals dont have much less a license to do what these sugar companies are letting them do.
5. The daily requirements before you even get into the truck to drive is a task from you daily inspections, dvirs etc.

To answer your question, you along qoth many other dont undertsand what it takes to be a trucker. Tell a DOT officer that. Cdl isnt important. Tbh im surprised DOT hasnt burned through these sugar mills cuting every illegal thing they are doing.

Most everytime i look over on the hwys of a cane driver hauling cane, its a native latin person who shouldn't be here much less, hasnt been properly trained with experience to do what they are doing. Sad thing is you wont see a cane truck being pulled over for dot inspection unless they are speeding. Every single driver should be checked. I bet the number would be astounding at how many dont have a cdl. The cane company dgaf. Just get out of there way and let them grind right?

And also for note not every Mexican working farm jobs is illegal in-fact majority are legal FYI

You have a solution to get lazy Americans off their arse to do manual labor to avoid “native latins” so you can have food to eat?

Been pulled over a couple times by DOT for spot checks and never once had problems I don’t have a CDL

We bring in workers to harvest rice and they are all legal in our area I can’t speak for sugarcane industry but rice and crawfish industry majority are legal
