Good post. It is never what you are making, it is what you are keeping. ;)

True. But most will file for a work permit which gives them a SS#. Since many are at poverty wages they essentially pay no federal tax but qualify for earned income tax credits and child care credit. This is doing it within the system, not counting all the other fraudulent ways they game the...

The report is from USA Today. To be politically correct, they can't say "illegals". :D

Yep, wall looking like a cheaper solution. And as mention, some good ideas to curb some of the illegal flow into the country, but neither party has the political will. Start running these costs through the calculator and it becomes easier. And remember, we are borrowing at a fast clip just to...

Can't say we have been denied brokering a load out of an area if they didn't have freight. With regards to Panther, it may have been the customer more than the load. They do have people they won't haul for because they slow pay, or don't pay at all. With regards to independent contractor...

I think I am going to be happy if they aren't a lawyer. :D

Carson is doing pretty good as of late. Not sure he can hold it. The anti establishment plays in his favor like Trump. He better brush up on his foreign policy knowledge as that appears as his greatest weakness.

I think you have to have a combination of the wall, technology, and border patrol to make it work. Military would work even in a small capacity that moves around, but I do agree, not sure we have the political will to do that.

True. It is the best option because as a country, we don't have the political will to do anything else. This at least addresses it to some degree.

If it stops or slows the wave of people in or out, then that is better than what we currently have. As mentioned, you aren't going to stop them all, but you will slow the tide.

Not sure why you would think a wall is "ludicrous". Seems to be a pretty effective solution in other countries. It isn't going to keep every single one out, but it is a much better solution to anything I have heard so far. Oh, and I am not buying the Trump line that Mexico is going to pay for...

Your post is much more the reality verses a actual driver shortage.

Happy Birthday!

Bernie may be in trouble if Biden jumps in. A lot of Bernie supporters are just on the "No Hillary" campaign.

Happy Birthday Tom!

Good information. Been warning folks for years, and some listened, and some didn't.

One of those, "have to look at the whole picture, and not just part of it".

That may be for family members.

I was following you right along until Fox News. Not fair and balanced? :D

I'll cut right to the chase and not complicate the simple. It boils down to a percentage of risk. The percentage of failure in a multi set up is extremely high. The forums really have no success stories with any longevity. The ones that had originally defended it, have since moved on. I have...
