Trust me. I’m not in love with all these immigrants either. But there’s potentially some kids growing up without their dad and I don’t care what colour you are, that’s sad. And for Chump to say good riddance? Well, I don’t even know what to say there……

Seen to many of these idiots putting my life and everyone else's on the roads in danger. Maybe it was a bit harsh. But my opinion of immigration isn't great after the past few years of having it shoved down our throat.

Kinda of what I thought, there was a steel over head bridge West/ South of Revy that's now been changed out...
It was scary passing threw it with big iron,,, there were a few wrecks there...
Yes,,, sad for family members and first,,, second and third responders threw out the chain that had too deal with this...
Of ones self and their own family as well...
Awful situation none the less...

One less retard in the road, not feeling the sympathy. Follow the Skilled truckers Canada page on FB if you really want to see the chit show that trucking has become in Canada. Not that anyone who’s been driving to Bc to sled for 10+ years doesn’t know already. Twice in last 4 years I’ve seen camel jockeys passing down hill in the uphill passing lane. Thankfully Hardeep only killed himself not a family on vacation going the other direction.

any other time of day this could have been extremely devastating. Houseboat with 20 people on it, wake boat with 10. the list goes on there's hundreds of boats through that channel every hour

they are opening up all sorts of mechanic shops now too. Can only imagine the fu*kery that goes on in there. I am just as concerned now a days that the wheels aren't going to fall off a semi heading towards me as i am the drivers skill.
My old man was an owner operator for life. Not the typical trucker, his kenworths were always polished right up. Grew up polishing rims and pretty much everything on his trucks, changing tires with tire bars and sledges. Sad to see the industry go to ch!t.

They definitely don’t check their tire I have never seen so bland out tire chucks all over the hiway.

Definitely part of the problem. Unfortunately the industry has done it to itself. There is always someone, regardless of nationality, that willing to do it cheaper. It becomes a race to see who can go broke the slowest and gets to the point where your only place to save money is on maintenance. Once someone does it cheaper that now becomes the going rate. When someone complains about my rates I tell them "you can have good, cheap and fast, but you only get two"

Just like that & it is that simple? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing. What is down side to paying hourly or is there one?
