80% of truckers voted for Trump

And along with the requirement they pass an English proficiency test (which will likely cost money) they are going to get shafted big time in 3 weeks. FAFO

And saw a lot of drivers with orange Hitler flags send when we stopped for a bathroom and food break I saw quite a few maga guys and shirts. I glared at everyone of them. Now I would laugh at them.

in regards to any difficulties those 20% may face as a result which are not of their own making. Similarly with farmers, where the figure I've seen cited was 78% for The Convicted Felon. As with any subsection of America, or the whole country, or the whole world, when enough people FA we all FO.

Not a lot of sympathy; they knew who and what they were voting for.

with giving the rich a tax break off the off the backs of the truck drivers & I for one would never understand why? I know other people were hurt, but I lost about $6,000.00 a year in write offs for my road expenses. It not enough offs even when there is an automatic deduction and per diem to claim.
