Trucking guy advises that those Amazon semi-trailers are being hauled by tractors driven by VERY suspicious drivers.........the ones who cannot speak nor read English, gifted a CDL-A by Biden & Co., and usually running illegal hours (exceeding DOT limits).
And--by the way--they are almost always driving for ultra-shady trucking contractors who make a practice of hiring unqualified people, and who also are likely to be illegals (!!)
Loose estimate: death count in the low 1,000s.........so far.
Revoke the "Non-Domiciled" CDL's.
Do it now.

Truckers tell USDOT to ‘immediately’ suspend states’ authority to issue non-domiciled CDLs
https://cdllife.com/2025/truckers-tell-usdot-to-immediately-suspend-states-authority-to-issue-non-domiciled-cdls/
One of the nation’s largest trucking trade groups is calling on federal authorities to act immediately on the issue of non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) following a high-profile fatal crash in Florida involving a non-citizen truck driver.
An August 12 triple fatality crash on the Florida Turnpike has attracted nationwide attention to the issue of CDL standards. Authorities say that truck driver Harjinder Singh, who faces vehicular homicide charges, entered the U.S. illegally and was still able to obtain a CDL from California.
On August 18, Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) President Todd Spencer penned a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asking for an immediate suspension of states’ authority to issue non-domiciled CDLs for interstate commerce.
The group calls on the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to ban states from issuing non-domiciled CDLs “at minimum” until the agency completes its audit into state policies in issuing non-domiciled CDLs announced in late June 2025.
“As USDOT continues its nationwide audit into state practices involving non-domiciled CDLs, we urge you to consider how these drivers are being recruited, compensated, and treated, as well as the safety records of motor carriers utilizing these CDL holders. While we question the need for this program entirely, as trucking is currently experiencing over-capacity that limits job opportunities for domestic drivers, we believe the audit will provide more clarity on steps that must be taken to ensure safety,” OOIDA said.
OOIDA goes on to issue the following policy change recommendations:
“Once the audit is complete, USDOT should at a minimum require a thorough review of a non-domiciled applicant’s driving history before they are eligible to receive their license. Specifically, there should be a review that encompasses the last 10 years of driving history and includes all types of motor vehicles (49 CFR 383.73) and all jurisdictions. This would help ensure that non-domiciled applicants face the same level of scrutiny as U.S.-domiciled applicants, who are currently subject to this 10-year review. In short, no one should be getting a CDL if they have an unsafe driving history.
Furthermore, USDOT should take steps to better ensure motor carriers are complying with safety regulations that keep drivers with an unsafe history off the road. 49 CFR 391.21 requires drivers to provide motor carriers with information related to their driving history, including a list of all motor vehicle accidents in which they were involved and violations of motor vehicles laws they were issued over the previous 3 years. By cracking down on carriers skirting these requirements, USDOT can immediately remove unsafe drivers and operations from the road.
USDOT can also improve safety by enhancing oversight of new carrier applicants prior to granting operating authority. Currently, bad actors and unqualified drivers can quickly obtain operating authority because the barriers to entry are simply too low. USDOT’s New Entrant Safety Audit (NESA) is now conducted almost entirely online, making it more a reflection of an applicant’s ability to complete administrative paperwork rather than understanding how to operate a trucking business at the safest level. The lack of sufficient review for new entrants also allows ‘chameleon carriers’ to reenter our industry with relative ease, despite previous violations.“

Effective immediately we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers.
The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers.

H1B scam
Amazon is guilty as hell
Jobs Dot Now has posted 3,800+ job listings that companies (Meta, Stripe, etc) wanted to hide from Americans — and Americans have flooded them with applications.
The # of Americans those companies have hired so far? Zero.
They’re openly violating the Immigration and Nationality Act, because the Justice Department is refusing to enforce it.
