Highway to Chaos: Foreign Truckers Trigger Accidents

The American trucking industry faces turmoil as an influx of foreign-born truckers results in increased accidents. Amid stagnant wages, these drivers are often poorly trained, bringing chaos to the roads. The government's solution of funding CDL training and lowering standards merely exacerbated the issue. In Oregon, for instance, CDL issuances surged by 77 times. Meanwhile, the trucking industry is allegedly swamped with foreign hires due to tweaks in regulations, sparking safety and economic concerns.
