kilo6 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) oh and the american taxpayer will install these on board recorders free of charge to our brothers south of the border whereas us american truckers will be expected to fork over $3000 or more for the privilege of monitoring ourselves. well maybe $5 fuel will keep them south for a while. i wonder will they be driving MACKS, maybe mackpro68 will have to take a crash course in spanish. i have him nearly trained in gaelic already. a quick learner...

With all the job issues we have here and that Idoit in office thinks this is a good idea. Not to mention the killings,drugs,Illegals that we already deal with now this. Some times I just want to pack up and head to Western Central Canada and just get on with things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
