They have guest worker permits and they leave after harvest. I think the trucks are exempt from typical CDL laws if used for farming. They also dont bring entire families with them. I have no problem with a guest worker program as long as they leave after harvest


I don’t have a problem with it either, my problem is that these trucks are nearly unregulated. Which is an entirely different issue.

How is a brand arse new Peterbilt or KW unregulated?

You do realize that likely 75% of the trucks are on an annual lease and the mill/grower entities turn them in at the end of grinding?

As long arse society will bear the increased cost of production, that is fine. Remember….the retail customer pays in the end.

Well I know several crawfish farmers that do hire part labor from Mexico every season.
