Coming to America On the surface it sounds like the proverbial
no-brainer. The trucking industry has complained of a shortage
of qualified commercial truck drivers for years, a shortage that
in effect places a ceiling on carriers' capacity, since a truck
without someone to drive it is no truck at all.  With
unemployment nationwide hanging stubbornly at around 4 percent
(creeping up to 4.2 percent in the second quarter of 2000),
trucking companies are facing a seller's market. Drivers are
more confident than ever of being able to find work elsewhere
should things not work out at their current job.  So, if
American citizens can't be relied on to drive trucks for this
country's steadily growing economy - read, high freight demand -
then why not tap other sources? Why not do what this country has
done pretty well for a long time: Bring in people from other
countries to do the work we don't seem to want to do - and have
a taste of the American dream in the bargain? Why not bring in
foreign nationals to drive this
