I wonder how many safety equipment failures would be found if American truckers and their rigs were constantly and randomly inspected for same.

It's weird ... seems just a heartbeat ago, Canadian and American truckers were losing their shit just because people were asking for proof of vaccination to cross the border ... not a full search of their rigs.

More conservative whites institutionalizing their cultural stupidity.

Well, re-institutionalizing it.

KY lawmakers killed bill to hand libraries over to politicians. Then they revived it. - Lexington Herald Leader
Just a day after it seemed to perish in the Kentucky House, lawmakers on Thursday revived a controversial bill that will allow local politicians to take control of Kentucky libraries.
White conservatism needs to be re-vanquished.

Speaking of the worst scum on earth


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... ar-AAWjgxF

Biden and Trump release very different Easter messages

Biden
As we reflect today on Christ’s Resurrection, we are reminded that with faith, hope, and love — even death can be defeated. From our family to yours, we wish you hope, health, joy, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding. Happy Easter and may God bless and keep you.
and traitor

Former president Donald Trump used the holiday to launch a passive-aggressive attack on his perceived enemies on Earth, including New York attorney general Letitia James, whose office is investigating Trump.

“May she remain healthy despite the fact that she will continue to drive business out of New York while at the same time keeping crime, death, and destruction in New York!” reads a message from Trump’s Save America political action committee, which also calls James a “racist.”
I sigh in your general direction.

Couldn't you have said so without just randomly copy/pasting?

How come conservative men are so lazy?

According to your earlier post concerning Mexican truck drivers you gave two different figures out of 3,400 vehicle inspections. Of those inspections, 800 (23.5%) were trucks put out of service and 79 (0.023%) were drivers put out of service.

Compare those numbers of American trucks and truck drivers in your link above and you get these figures.
Vehicles inspected: 433,224
Trucks put out of service: 22.4%

Drivers inspected: 637,160
Drivers put out of service: 6.5%

So, according to your statistics, the percentage of Mexican trucks and American trucks put out of services is statistically insignificant.

An the number of American drivers put out of service is over three times the rate of Mexican drivers.

So if someone was looking statistically at American and Mexican trucks and their drivers one would conclude the safety of the trucks is essentially the same while the American truck drivers have significantly more problems.

Yeah, good job here proving the con is still a con. We all know why Maggot Abbott is doing this, to hurt the economy to blame it on Biden. period





https://www.yahoo.com/news/texas-gov-gr ... 20439.html

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's truck inspection policy created a logjam at the border that resulted in $240 million of spoiled produce
And board con would take 3 buses and 2 trains to get to TX to vote for him if he could. So what if Abbott purposely takes food out of his mouth, he hates Gay people so YAY! :twisted:

Perhaps what this country needs is more Mexican truck drivers. Not only to fill the shortage of truck drivers in the U.S. but to compete with American drives causing American drivers to lower the number drivers out of service. I wonder if conservatives are now against competition?

They always were. It's why the white cons are so violent against minorities and even their own women: can't compete, must eliminate or totally repress any competition.

I got to thinking about the numbers you posted and while I can't find them on the net I believe I know why they just might be accurate.
3 or 4 times a year the DOT in every state has a 72 hour blitz where they attempt to inspect as many trucks as possible.
Well you and I could walk through a truck stop and I could point out 25 suspect vehicles and probably get 15 of them correct.
The dot inspectors could probably get 20 correct. Also there are certain companies like the one I have my equipment leased to that they pretty much leave alone. Because they know it would be a waste of time inspecting trucks from decent carriers.
So what they do is eyeball the truck as it crosses the scales or inspection station and pick out the ones which look suspicious.
The number one way to get stopped for an inspection is to have a cluttered dash board or messy cab
So without actually knowing the genesis behind those numbers I am assuming that is where they generate from.

You provided a link and you can't find those numbers? Unbelievable. The DoT website is one truckers would be more familiar with than a non-trucker and I found those numbers in less than a minute. But, since you only do minimal research here's the link for you.

These are just excuses. If you're randomly inspecting vehicles or doing a "blitz" the statistics would probably remain the same. That is, if the inspections resulted in 6.5% of drivers being out of service then that percentage of drives would be the same for random or "blitz" inspections.

And much of what appears on a Google search is at the top because the website pays Google to put them there.

You have a long history of posting links that say the exact opposite of what you think they say. Your problem, not mine.
