Diesel engines once roared to life each morning at Bikramjeet Singh Gill’s truck depot in Stockton as drivers conducted their pre-trip inspections before heading out to destinations across the United States. Now, dozens of his trucks stand idle, accumulating dust and debt.

UNFORTUNATELY AS A MOTORIST, I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE SURGE OF FOREIGN DRIVERS, A SURGE IN TRUCK DRIVERS PLAYING THE “HAVE TO PASS EACH OTHER” GAME ON INTERSTATE 5 IN CALIFORNIA. THIS ESSENTIALLY REDUCES THE SPEED OF OTHER VEHICLES TO 60 MPH IN THE INSIDE LANE AND REDUCES MOBILITY ON CALIFORNIA’S ROADWAYS. THE TRUCKS GAIN VERY LITTLE IN THIS PASSING GAME. IT NEEDS TO BE OUTLAWED.
