quote:thats not my issue, thats the sugar co ops problem. The DOT needs to seriously get involved here. I never said anything about who is or isnt working. Im not blaming illegals for wanting to work, im blaiming the companies for putting non cdl licensed drivers who happen to be hauled in from other countries(facts) driving these machines on the road. Do not be fooled , all of these big trucks and trailers are nothing but killing machines on the road if not handled correctly and it takes an experienced commerical licensed driver to get the job done correctly and most of all, safely.
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?

Ag workers don’t need a CDL as long as they’re driving within a 100 miles radius of their home base. If they’re H2A workers then there is nothing illegal going on. If they’re not H2A workers then it’s not the lack of a CDL that’s illegal.

Well if you enjoy food it’s going to be your problem. Accidents happen every day it’s sad that someone lost their life but you can’t avoid accidents no matter if you have a CDL or not. Who’s to say he had a CDL how can you just assume he didn’t have one? You’re just making assumptions

quote:again, a truck that has a 5th wheel plate pulling a large trailer is required to have a cdl class A no matter the reason is. Many of the sugar mills are using these same trucks(day cabs) to haul their crop with drivers who do not hold a cdl license and they drive on our state hwys and interstates. Very illegal.

100k lbs number is illegal no matter what the load is because united states law says that no truck/trailer and load can weigh over 80k lbs. 18 wheels and no cdl class A?
The law enforcement officer looked the other way.

Again that is wrong

It’s called having a harvest permit that permits you to increase your haul from
80k lbs 100k lbs during harvest season on state highways read up on your facts. No one is looking the other way

You can beat that CDL shite to death. Sorry but that is not correct as many have said. AG is exempt. Sugar cane industry in South La probably is the most powerful locally owned business. They own a large majority of the elected officials and get exemptions from a lot of Rules.

Pay attention: “FARM EQUIPMENT”……
You think every single one of those illegals have a valid cdl and maintain that cdl on the proper intervals? If you say yes you’re a liar. You think those same illegals end up driving every year here in the states during harvesting season? If you say yes you’re a liar.
They do not have valid cdl licenses nor will they ever! “FARM EQUIPMENT”……

Care to guess how much total sugarcane weight is hauled by tractors?
The drivers don’t have a cdl for that either. Why? “FARM EQUIPMENT”……

Again you are also wrong no CDL needed in circumstances if you are delivering your own product within 150 miles. People really need to educate themselves
Posted on 12/8/23 at 7:13 pm to 31TIGERS
Totally agree. These people are driving a dangerous machine and are not properly trained nor have any experience. Without a cdl license they have no business highering these people but again the sugar industry dgaf even if they get someone killed.

You’ll love this I’ve been driving grain trucks/18 wheelers since I was 16 years old in the summer when we were cutting rice family been farming for decades and thankfully have not had any accidents we are very conscientious with our equipment and maintain them faithfully. And no a lot of workers that’s come over don’t have much of any experience but that’s not illegal

Doesn’t make it illegal. As long as it’s legal there’s nothing you can do about it. Farmers are just trying to make a living and people will sit there and bitch with a their belly’s full. Even the most experienced CDL drivers have accident. Look across I10 any given day and there’s accidents it happens you’re not going to get rid of accidents all together CDL or no CDL
Posted on 12/8/23 at 7:21 pm to SWLA92
Answer the question, would you allow a south american just came over with no experience to do you job?
Posted on 12/8/23 at 7:21 pm to MarciMoshes
There’s nothing you or I can do about it. If it’s legal to haul agricultural products from the field to the mills then it will continue and it ain’t changing anytime soon so get used to it. 99.9% of agricultural products make it safely to its end destination
Posted on 12/8/23 at 7:22 pm to MarciMoshes
I’ve got Mexicans driving my own trucks without any experience I’ve trained them myself during harvest so yes I would and do. As I said before we’ve had H2A workers for 20 years and have never had an issue before thankfully
