And they all have funny head dress. Not being racist. Just stating obvious facts. Once upon a time drivers here used to be able to go up and down the highway in any weather safely.. Now's it's a scary ordeal just driving down the highway with your family when they are all coming at you over the center line, and crashed all over. Ever watch that towing show Highway Through Hell? Just look at all the drivers that are ever stuck or in accidents. Enough said. Edited November 26, 2019 by Bullheaded 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 And that's the whole argument they use to keep bringing more in and giving them licenses. This supposed "driver shortage." No, they can hire these people and "use and abuse" them to no end. They will do anything for any kind of pathetic pay. Don't matter if it is low pay or bad working conditions....they do it. And the industry takes advantage of that. They are modern day slaves. It's funny too, how hard they make it for you to renew your license with 4 pages of tests with trick questions, yet most of these people cannot even speak english and they all have licenses. It's almost like they WANT all the old professionals gone....you know the guys with 30 and more accident and conviction free years. You see a lot of these guys failing their tests just because they can't figure out the trick wording in a lot of the questions. Yet they have NEVER had an incident on the roads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 You should see Southern California, a little drizzle and everyone acts like an idiot.
