No More American Truckers
Posted by ConsciousAwareness69@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 39 comments
No hate but it’s just shocking going to a truck stop and 80% of my fellow drivers are clearly not American born drivers…. I feel like I’m at a truck stop in a third world country.

To state the obvious, you are at a truck stop in a third world country. “Key Characteristics Often Associated with the Term: Economic Vulnerability: Low GDP, high foreign debt, and heavy dependence on industrialized nations. Limited Infrastructure: Inadequate healthcare, education, transportation, and sanitation systems. High Poverty & Inequality: Large populations living in poverty with a small elite controlling wealth. Political Instability: Often characterized by weak governance, corruption, or conflict. Demographic Challenges: High infant mortality and rapid population growth.”

High infant mortality?
BrattySubSam@reddit
Of all “first world” countries, USA has the highest infant and maternal mortality rate at 5.4 deaths per 1000 live births (2021), ranking 33rd out of 38 in OECD countries. Japan and Norway both had 1.7 deaths per 1000 live births.
America kinda sucks.

America has been resting on it's laurels for a very long time...

"It's the same map"
homucifer666@reddit
Well, when the US carpets the rest of the world with steel rain as it pleases until homes, businesses, and infrastructure are nothing but rubble and no one stepping in to reel the warmongers in, it's not surprising that people from those countries look to make a life in the one place US "foreign policy" is least likely to harm them.
Don't want them here? Stop making life unbearable everywhere else.

OP says "No hate," then proceeds to make assumptions on where people in a public place are born.
Sounds like another version of "I ain't racist, buuuuuuuuut..."
Unique_Ant9445@reddit
How is an assumption racist lol

Followed by "Some of my best friends are".....

Ive came across more white Eastern European drivers that didn't speak a lick of English than all ethnic minorities combined. There is still time to delete this.
Revival-Waters@reddit
He never say white. Youre just on a witch hunt for imagined racism.
He could also have been talking about Eastern Europeans as non Americans.
TellTaleTimeLord@reddit
You guys really love dog whistling and then playing dumb to defend your fellow racists
AsphaltPirate74@reddit
Seems like most redditors are brainwashed sheep, even the truckers unfortunately are turning soft and ignorant.
Imaginativested@reddit
I simply stated my experience with other drivers you are the one making all the assumptions here Vlad.
Revival-Waters@reddit
Why is everybody assuming you mean "white".
The reddit virtue signalers are on a witch hunt for racism.
He clearly could be talking about Eastern Euroepans as part of that "Non American," group.
TellTaleTimeLord@reddit
Because that's exactly what they mean
TellTaleTimeLord@reddit
My guy says "no hate" but then proceeds to say hateful shit

"There's too many non white people at truck stops, I dont like it."
theBotKilla@reddit
Well. They don’t like you too.

I’m gonna complain about this as soon as I finish washing my feet, ass, armpits and hair in the sink at Love’s. How DARE you sir. Perfectly good showers for what? Got 3 sinks in the bathroom to wash everything simultaneously.
ArtReasonable2437@reddit
The US is a third world country, 98% of those same people are probably citizens, and you'll say this but disavow automation in the industry or any form of collective bargaining. Choke.
Revival-Waters@reddit
Yes, its depressing.
WHODUNNITT303@reddit
Too many jeeters
ThisIsJustMeToo@reddit
What does it matter what race or ethnicity? Sounds like you have more personal issues going on that just driving. Js

Migistat@reddit
I didn’t know you could tell where someone was born by looks alone. The fbi must be looking for you.
greedybanker3@reddit
its pretty easy to tell. like insanely easy.
warwgn@reddit
I’m not so sure about that. If a Canadian, Australian, Kiwi, Irishman, Scott, Englishman, German, Swiss, Swedish, Russian, Polish moved to the US, would you be able to tell them apart from an American just by looks?
Migistat@reddit
By his standards no cause we all know what American born means in this context. Never met a more miserable group of people in my life. Not once have I gotta out of my truck and cared about the nationality of anyone there.
groovyinutah@reddit
I grew up in El Paso Texas...it's not that easy to tell.

“Third world country”
I highly highly suggest you update your vocabulary.
Our country is being run like a “third world country” atm
They are not investing in a middle class. Wages are low and ignorance is high.
Our current governing administration isn’t helping us hard workers one bit.
Allot of these drivers come here on work visas stack up as much money otr and go home.
groovyinutah@reddit
And while the Ballroom Republicans and Epstein class are busy looting our tax dollars people like this are convinced that brown guy over is the cause of his problems...
Gilgamesh2000000@reddit
The poor people who will never retire love that shit. They love when trump wins. The love this imaginary republican vs democrat circus.
AsphaltPirate74@reddit
I don't like it either. That's part of the reason the comraderies gone too.
I hate that they leave a lot more trash everywhere. Plus they just stare at you too like you're the foreigner with an aggressive blank stare. I always stare back too because why the fuck are you eye fucking me buddy.
The whole world's dealing with this right now.
People might comment that you're racist but you're not, it's a takeover happening around the world. On the flip side, I've met plenty of foriegners who came here legally and became Americans that were good people. This is different.
Ok-Combination7287@reddit
Yeah I just cant stand people that would up end their entire world to do a thing like get a job and better them selves. It's pretty cool you could spot all those Norwegian drivers at the truck stop, or were they perhaps not light skinned?
MostlyUseful@reddit
Can we just leave racism out of trucking? God know there’s too much of it in every aspect of life.
Kenworthsteve@reddit
I'm guessing that all the natives that want to truck are trucking. It's not like there are insurmountable barriers to entry.
CA_Orange@reddit
You mean white drivers, not American drivers. Just say it.
Admirable_Lab_7867@reddit
This is a stretch and going to vary widely depending on the truckstop and area of the country in.
