Glad you bring that up , if you are from south tx you will hear a lot of CDL drivers complaining about big mega carriers that hire B1 drivers , and of course mega carriers love b1 drivers because they pay them 32 c the mile , as far of the insurance goes they get pretty creative , they hire cdl drivers to pick up the load , and then the b1 driver hauls it , and they pick up here in the US and deliver here as well , they are sabotaging the cargo , , there are some insurances that let you hire b1 drivers but you will have to pay a lot more , but like i say big carriers they get very creative on getting away with it , and the ones causing all this accidents are in fact b1 drivers , if the gov actually enforce the law where its need to be done there will still be hope in this industry , the reason tht is failing for a lot of small carriers its because of corporate greed ,.

[@ricardojimenez7020]

B1 drivers i dont know about H2 but i live in a border town in Texas and there is a lot of companies looking and prefer B1 drivers cause of the savings they generat. At the same time they can afford cheaper freight and ones 1 company accept a cheap load brokers will keep that price forcing others carriers to do the same. It is definitely a big problem.

[@markhunter3263]

What really concerns me about hiring any foreigner as a professional driver is the lack of any vetting of their previous driving experience. At least most people who obtain CDL’s as native born American are familiar with the rules of the road because we grew up here and most likely have driven cars for awhile before ever getting our CDL. But even if a foreigner has driven cars in their home country before coming here to get their CDL, what do they really know about day-to-day driving here, beyond what they learned in CDL school? I’ve seen videos of just how insane the drivers are in some of these third world countries. It doesn’t give me a whole lot of confidence that a foreigner will come here to drive with safety instilled as a habit or as a priority.

This makes me angry. It's "labor dumping" akin to steel dumping, or name your product X dumping. Market gets flooded with cheap ____ to drive prices down to take out competition, and then takes over the market into rising prices. This same thing was done and continues with the tech industry. Going all the way back to late 80's earily 90's to present. The typical lower/mid tier levels incomes gets decimated. They used to be good mid/upper middle incomes. The H-1B labor program that imports cheap and less skilled IT people who work for peanuts, living multiples in one bedroom apts, drove out competent skilled Americans and salaries down. To add insult to injury, those American IT workers had to go through the humiliation ritual of training their cheap foreign replacements in order to collect their severence package. This practice was in high gear when I entered IT in 1995. I was displaced by this practice early 2000's. Tens of if not hundreds of thousands were displaced by this over past 30 years. And now with the Internet of today (and of the 2000's) compaies can easily export/offshore the IT jobs so its a bidirectional displacement decimation. That's why your call centers are almost all offshore. I hope Trump's admin will put a stop to this practice for all industries.

H2B visas are also used for hospitality workers. This was the original Visa my husband was on when he came here. The visas will not only go to trucking companies. Companies that use these visas also are responsible for paying to bring them over and I assume with trucking pay to license them. You are legally not allowed to pay visa workers less than American workers and if an American worker applying legal they have to hire that person if they have opening verses opting to hire a visa worker. Companies of course abuse the program and to a to certain extent it does suppress wages. I don’t see it as impacting that much but this market sucks.

The problem isn't with trucking the main problem is Americans don't know how to save money , for 3 years already all we hear is truckers crying about their not making money but yet salaries in trucking are anywhere from $70,000 to $100,000 so what's all the crying about. All truckers do is brag about their salaries but then on the flip side blow all their money and then cry trucking don't pay enough . Foreigners work harder save their money n advance in any industry they work in , the turnover rate in trucking as a profession is 50% , only 50% of drivers stay in the industry after 5 years so they have to do something to get enough drivers .

[@douglaswines6456]

I don’t think there’s a shortage of qualified drivers. I think that there’s been a concerted effort to hold wages down. While there may be many motives politically for open borders policies, a consequence of those policies is downward pressure of wages. A truck driver has increasingly more regulations they must know and follow, and work long hours away from home. The wages have not kept up with inflation and inflation itself has added to downward wage pressures as independents and companies have to make adjustments to remain competitive.

You can not job out the work over the border, so you bring the cheap labor here. All of those loads coming from Mexico was manufactured or geown in the U.S.A. Thanks to NAFTA, Wallstreet moved south.

[@gilbertoavina6156]

He said there's a shortage of CDL drivers which takes us into the topic of BULLSHIT (Pardon my French)

[@13keystone90]

I think the total was a total of 400 drivers using this visa? Hardly making a dent in the trucking industry.

[@josecast5222]

I can see this , people or drivers from the other side of the border, are coming to California, to moves loads , I can see this everyday, they moved loads for a few dollars,

[@aroundthecornertrucking6433]

It's just to keep rates low.

[@Jose-gq8wc]

This is the norm they have bin doing this for years sence the are self insured and can get cheaper labor this way.

[@guillermorodriguez6401]

I reckon nothing will change until the companies and the drivers who are working illegally are held accountable for this.

[@dusty1207able]

No wonder I can't get hired.

[@johndyer4268]

Electronic logging started this problem and allow larger carriers to work these guy for slave wages

[@Dubya9W9]

Yup, many don't even see it..the more things they automate the lower the skill lvl is

[@Tj-xl3kg]

That shit needs to be shut down asap. There is plenty of drivers in the usa. And you need to pay what truckers deserve.

[@alland01]

No big deal. If anything we will go on looking for something else. We are always needed. It is more a problem for walmart and Procter znd gamble . Let them use braines how to get out of this mess and keep shelves fully stocked.

[@Mellox0x]

Make trucking great again 🥲

[@olehyaro805]

There are thousands upon thousands illegal truck drivers and they are driving rates down big time. There are instances when they are making just $200-300 a week. How can we get any good loads after that?

[@vegas1209]

Less drivers- less carriers- more profits

[@bob.love.hope1969]

These foreign drivers also get an international driver license and don't have to pass the same test as US Citizens, and they don't have to do random drug testing, they also can get their medical card from their country of origin. I deal with them everyday.

[@stevenmiller6725]

That is actual racism.

[@AA-hy3xs]

How they get insured?

[@TruckingMadeSuccessful]

Good question- the big ones are self insured so they dont care. But I also know that when you have enough trucks, your policies are fleet policies- not individual drivers, or something along those lines.

[@AA-hy3xs]

@ they can’t be 100% self insured maybe a big procent but those who insure the umbrela how they accept those guys,you need to ad driver on the policy cause otherwise in case of an accident they can’t get a claim from umbrela insurance

[@bradburrell4008]

The American truck driver is getting screwed

[@brandonjones152]

A great talker.

[@ravitejachinta9511]

This is great news blow out thanks

[@Krossf1re]

It has for a long while baffled me how many Canadian (occasionally Mexican) carriers I see bouncing around down in Texas and the East coast. And I talk to some of the drivers and they have been in the United States pulling loads for six months without going back to Canada. That has bothered me to no end, and I think they need to do something about it. I think all Canadian/mex based trucks ELDs should flag dot vio and shut down all driver and carrier status changes and login/outs - until they go back into home country. But what if their truck breaks down or they have a load delay! Cool, post the load on the boards (that youre also scalping from) for a partial rate and take your butt back where you’re supposed to be. Swift Just recently doubled their hiring quota for transmex.

[@robindersinghpannu8289]

This is bullshit. Canadians driving in USA for six months. Blah blah. It doest make sense to stay in USA and make less money and stay away from family. Ameica is good but Canada is better.

[@ericjamison8063]

My biggest problem with the foreign drivers is the fact that they can't speak English. The places I load and unload at have the come in all the time

[@WanderingWolf365]

100%... will flood the market with cheap drivers. - WW

[@gabrielalejandrez2055]

Big carrier control

[@salimkarimi9277]

I need your advise Please advise me hiring companies where to work as dispatcher.

[@DavidVanHelden1]

I believe that all dispatchers should have at least 5 years of over the road experience...

[@Inc-rs4dx]

Cheaper labour doesn't always means better and more compatitive economy. All these money paid as salaries to the immigrants will be spent afterwards abroad
