I reluctantly drove home from Florida today and obviously made it. But here’s what I observed. At least on I-95 there was no shortage of 18 wheelers. There was no difference than any other time I have made the drive. To be fair there were many billboards advertising for drivers, including one offering a $6000 signing bonus so there is clearly a shortage but it appears to me that it’s a west coast problem where all the ships with cheap shit from China are waiting to be unloaded and trucked. Maybe that’s why I haven’t seen empty shelves here or in Florida on anything I needed.

On the other hand, I have made two trips to Florida in the past two months. On the first one I was delayed going down by about 45 minutes because an 18 wheeler ran into an overpass and on the way back I was delayed almost three hours, including at one point being stopped completely for two hours, because another 18 wheeler ran into an overpass. This trip I fortunately made it down without incident but unfortunately on the way back today I also was delayed because of an 18 wheeler accident. I don’t know if it was one or two but when I finally got to it what I saw wreckage that appeared to be not only horribly twisted but also burned.

Now what you ask is my point? Truckers just like air traffic controllers have rules to keep them from driving to long without breaks. However given the shortage of drivers and this administration being taken to task for the supply chain problem do you think that maybe this administration would look the other way to try to prop up Magoo? And do any of you believe that drivers who were offered big bonuses to ignore the regulations wouldn’t do so?

Now in a salute to Rom Emmanuel’s never fail to exploit a disaster, there are Dems trying to get to let 18 year Mexicans get visa to drive our trucks. Just another attempt to destroy our immigration and internal laws and rules. They will use any excuse to try to change the makeup of our voters.
