Profile For Charlie

Maybe they gave your job away. I know autonomous trucking may be a while off, but I just read this after wondering about stagnant wages: "Driver Reach is a company that helps trucking companies recruit drivers. They are much loved by the American Trucking Association so that should say something. Anyway, Driver Reach has a blog and in it they discuss how to get drivers here from South Africa. Yes. There is a fee for this, $125 a week as far as I can tell. They do this because SOME companies cannot get drivers in the United States to take their low paying jobs. So, they simply import people who will take their substandard pay driving job. There are PLENTY of CDL drivers in the United States. There is in fact a shortage of GOOD PAYING JOBS for them. Maybe Driver Reach could import some of those. When you import a person on an EB-3 Visa for a truck driver job it is considered unskilled labor and only has to meet a minimum wage requirement. That requirement is lower than an it would take to get the job filled. Companies that treat drivers like professionals and pay a good wage do not have a problem getting drivers. ATA companies have problems getting drivers. See the difference, Driver Reach?" as written in video description from YouTube Channel Trucking Answers (with 30.4 thousand subscribers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnsAWFLGRlA&list=RDCMUCBLTOE0xkbIyGFFryPsE0Lg&index=24
