Makes zero sense to have illegals or those on visas driving trucks. That’s a good job for Americans

Somehow, the leftists will find a way to bitch about this.

They're not alone. The nOtHiNg iS hAppEnInG mental masturbation addicts are too busy getting upset that Trump is calling them out for being easily led down the anti-Data Center path by the CCP.

I don't think trucking was included in that.

I believe many of these operations are Sikh-based and they've intentionally taken over large operations of long-haul trucking. They were just using loopholes and fraud to lower costs.

2019 LAT: Sikh drivers are transforming U.S. trucking. Take a ride along the Punjabi American highway

quote:

There are 3.5 million truckers in the United States. California has 138,000, the second-most after Texas. Nearly half of those in California are immigrants, most from Mexico or Central America. But as drivers age toward retirement — the average American trucker is 55 — and a shortage grows, Sikh immigrants and their kids are increasingly taking up the job.

Estimates of the number of Sikh truckers vary. In California alone, tens of thousands of truckers trace their heritage to India. The state is home to half of the Sikhs in the U.S. — members of a monotheistic faith with origins in 15th century India whose followers are best recognized by the uncut hair and turbans many men wear. At Sikh temples in Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield and Riverside, the majority of worshipers are truck drivers and their families.

Over the last decade, Indian Americans have launched trucking schools, truck companies, truck washes, trucker temples and no-frills Indian restaurants modeled after truck stops back home, where Sikhs from the state of Punjab dominate the industry.


This is similar to Patels (not being racist, literally people named Patel) targeting hotels years ago and expanding operations over time.

Right on! Some people and organizations love the Fck Around part.

But ohhh how We The People love the Find Out part!

I hope the owners of these establishments lose millions and are sued into poverty.

You can hold the schools accountable for this but the state officials who issued CDL's under the identification of "No Name Given" should be arrested and thrown in prison.

100%

You have to complete the statement *Americans won't do those jobs while welfare and other freebies are just as lucrative". There is no job a hungry and cold person won't do.

Two truckers sitting at a bus stop.
I got my CDL through (name school X). Where did you get yours?
I got mine at the back of the bus.

That would be a funny conversation.

Pete Buttigieg who was the Secretary of Transportation from 2020 to 2024 had to know what the score was on this. He did nothing about it.............and now he's running for the presidency.
