trucking sucks and zoomers dont want to do it for the mediocre pay trucking companies offer
trucking companies cry that they need more mexicans and indians to come in and do the jobs americans don't want to do
it's not that americans don't want to do these jobs, it's that the wages for these jobs haven't kept up with the insane spikes in inflation and minimum wage
why the fuck would I drive a truck for $27/hr (average trucker wage) when in many states I can make $18-22 an hour at an entry level retail position, where I am much safer, in a climate controlled room all day and can go home to my family every night?
obvious solution would be make trucking less shitty or increase wages but that's antisemitic.
I'm not even 100% opposed to immigrant labor. It makes sense for seasonal jobs like agriculture and tourism business. But if you put these people in charge of vital strategic industries, it's just nation ruining.
