From Fox News: Following several high-profile, deadly auto accidents involving illegal alien truck drivers, a commercial trucking industry leader is blowing the whistle on the devastating “shockwave” illegal drivers carrying sanctuary state licenses have had on the industry.
Mike Kucharski, co-owner and vice president of JKC Trucking, which is based in Illinois, told Fox News Digital that in addition to endangering American roads, illegal alien commercial drivers have been “killing the trucking business.”
He said that though the problem has only recently been brought to the forefront of the public consciousness in recent months, drivers and trucking businesses have been feeling the impacts for years.
“We knew there was an issue right after COVID because the rates dropped down, and we just thought, ‘Okay, look, it’s just inflation … the wars, etcetera, all these aspects causing the volumes to be down. We’re thinking, ‘Okay. In the long run, these volumes will go back up to what they were pre-COVID conditions or just go back to regular volumes, and we’ll be back in business.’ But what happened? The complete opposite happened,” he said. “They went down and stayed down, and we never knew, as truckers, what was the problem.”
Kucharski said now the truth is finally out that their industry was being flooded with foreign drivers who are able to take advantage of a loophole and outcompete legitimate trucking businesses by charging lower prices and taking all the jobs.
“All our truckers are fighting for the same load, and it goes to the lowest bidder,” Kucharski explained. “If you have these drivers coming in that are non-domiciled, they have no family here, they have no home, they live in their truck… They’re saying, ‘Okay, look, all the market’s doing for $2,000, we’ll do it for $1,700.’ So, it’s putting small trucking businesses out of business every day.”
The report also states:
In an audit letter dated Sept. 26, 2025, investigators also discovered that California had issued CDLs to non-domiciled drivers that were valid even after their federal work authorization expired.
The federal audit reportedly found that California issued 62,000 commercial driver’s licenses to drivers who entered the U.S. illegally or who do not have permanent legal status.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Gavin Newsom’s California gave 62,000 CDL PERMITS to illegal aliens and migrants to drive commercial vehicles.
This is an outrage.

Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) shared a shocking video which revealed the massive fraud that is taking place where foreigners who can’t speak English are cheating to obtain a CDL.
“They’re here illegally. They can’t read English. They don’t understand our laws. They’re killing Americans. And Democrats want them driving 80,000lb trucks on the road next to our families,” Collins wrote. “Enough.”
They’re here illegally.
They can’t read English.
They don’t understand our laws.
They’re killing Americans.
And Democrats want them driving 80,000lb trucks on the road next to our families.
Enough.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has voiced his fury over California Gov. Gavin Newsom refusing to stop giving CDLs to illegal aliens, and warned that people who have CDLs are just driving trucks, but they’re also driving SCHOOL BUSES.
We are going to STOP THIS CHARADE! No more licenses until we figure out how many problems we have in the system.
Illegal truck drivers are taking INNOCENT LIVES.
California’s Gavin Newsom must be held accountable. https://t.co/8TuxYer8gw

CDL is to make commercial hauling safe and consistent across 50 states. CA policy upended safety and imposed itself over 49 states. This must end now. 👇
