(future Trucking) Be Prepared

[44MAG]

It would be a great asset if you would learn Spanish before starting your trucking career. I am sure it will be a necessary requirement for future jobs in the industry. Also if you have young children, please encourage and get them a great education. A mind is a terrible thing to waste as a truck driver, and you shouldn't go to your grave knowing you didn't do better by them.

i don't see why I HAVE to learn another language. i'm born AMERICAN, and I SPEAK ENGLISH...so should anyone else that wishes to converse with me, or MY children. why should it be a "neccessary requirement for future jobs"....??

i got no problem with someone from a foreign land coming here for a better life, but damnit, learn MY LANGUAGE, not the other way around.....

afterall, ENGLISH is the language........

if anyone of us were to go to another country and live there, we would HAVE TO LEARN THIER LANGUAGE...........!!!

so, for your opinion on this, you can....

I only know English, but I'm sure these little guys mean the same in Spanish!
