From Breitbart: Some American truckers say they are getting paid more per mile as President Donald Trump’s enforcement policies are pushing many of President Joe Biden’s illegal migrants from the highways.
“[I] Normally do Chicago to Fargo for $1200,” a trucker declared via X. “Had a [delivery] broker call and offer me $1800. Needless to say, I took him up on the offer. Lord do I hope this hangs around a little bit.”
The post-election gain for American truckers comes amid a cargo slump that is threatening the economic stability of many trucking firms and brokerage companies. The slump is especially damaging to the companies that exploited the huge population of low-wage illegal truckers who are being pushed off the roads by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s enforcement of long-ignored safety regulations.

The American Truckers group announced on X in late September that Oklahoma law enforcement has begun impounding trucks operated by illegal alien truck drivers.
In a video currently circulating on social media, a truck driver said when he pulled into a truck weigh station about 45 miles outside of Chicago, he was pulled over by ICE agents who wanted to verify his ID and confirmation on where he lives.
He said ICE was inspecting every truck crossing through the area.

One migrant truck driver interviewed by the media is complaining that he suddenly can’t renew his CDL license.
Speaking in Hindu, Vivak Sharma lamented that only green card holders or U.S. citizens can get their commercial drivers’ license renewed. A reporter says Sharma has been in the U.S. for the past 10 years seeking politically asylum, and his final court case is not until next year.
Sharma complains that by losing his CDL license and truck driver job, he won’t have money to send back to his family in India, and will have to “start over.”
