Which ones? Who gets to pick?
This looks like a good move because it's getting unsafe drivers off the road and a lot of them are illegal to begin with. Both are good reasons, "protecting our jobs" is not.

i don't think that there is a soul with a brain that doesn't understand that many goods and services are artificially lower because underpaid, untaxed labor. I voted for Trump knowing good and well that there will be costs associated to deportations and crackdown on frauds.
i'm willing to pay more for milk if my fellow countryman got a job on a farm he couldn't because Jose was working for next to free or got a job delivering that he couldn't because of Panjeet taking a CDL job.

The stimulus pumped into the economy post COVID had shippers with no transport. All kinds of folks went out and financed tractors to get in on the high rates. This produced a glut of supply that crushed the rates and made it to where most of my customers struggled with thin margins and low rates. The market needed supply to go down. Seems the gov’t is artificially correcting the problem that they artificially created.
Again, net good for my customers and my company, but rates go up. Prices go up. Labor restrictions are just another form of tariffs (taxes) that are ultimately paid for by the consumer.

Yay! 18 year old teenagers driving with 80,000 pounds behind and under them. What could go wrong? Thank God for:

Dropping drivers sounds like something these trucking companies should be doing anyway. Shipment volume is down, overhead costs rising too high, etc.

Just to be clear, you are saying that opening every job in America to anyone in the world would be good for Americans?

I’m willing to pay the increased costs (probably a dollar per week at the store) so the baw across town can support himself and his family.
This is how a healthy economy works.

This is good and bad. Good for those of us in the business because with less supply, rates for freight will go up and transporters will make more money. Bad for consumers who will now see the price of goods go up due to transportation costs going up.
Dude this is bullshite, freight prices are already sky high. I could buy a damn truck for the amount I get charged in freight. Dont kid yourself. All the dollar bills are going into brokers pockets who don't actually even do the physical trucking themselves. Hiring Illegals was what allowed the brokers to fire the independent drivers who were responsible for building America. These men and women put their arse on the line to finance the trucks and haul the miles. Let these big corporations find out the Hardway. The Government has looked the other way for far too long.

Okay as a freight broker myself, I think you're putting a very broad brush on my profession.
We have a shortage of truckers here in America. All the old baws are at retiring age and nobody here is going to trucking school.
I'm at a decade in the industry and over the last 4-5 years, we've put more Gurpreets, Anils and Gurwinders on our freight than ever before. Not by design, but because our regular guys are quitting or retiring.
And my margins are at 10% if that.

Teenagers flew fighter planes in World War 2, so don't sell them short. Besides, many career truck drivers start driving right out of high school.

That would be the best strategy.

Suggest they start offering higher pay and better benefits to attract drivers that can read road signs.

I remember when this was tried decades ago and it failed. That is how evil congress is and has always been. The left have been plotting the destruction of the USA ever since the country was formed.
The more our population has turned from God and the closer they get to their goal of total enslavement the more they say out loud. Frog in the pot analogy fits perfectly.

Teenagers flew fighter planes in World War 2, so don't sell them short. Besides, many career truck drivers start driving right out of high school.
- Truck drivers under the age of 19 are 4 times more likely to be in a fatal crash than older drivers.
- Drivers aged 19-20 are 6 times more likely to be involved in a deadly accident.
- Drivers under 21 are over-involved by a factor of 6 compared to the overall rate for all drivers.
