I would like to know your opinion of our translated website. Please take the time to share your opinions. |

I can't read or speak spanish so therefore it doesn't matter to me personally.
From a business stand point it probably makes sense as we have in increase in spanish speaking individuals. |

| If we were to go to their country it would be expected that we learn their language, so what is the difference? Sorry, I think people need to learn our language at least enough to read it, geez. |

Why discriminate against the Polish speaking drivers and how about the Russians? How about me? I'm German and speak the language.
I give these guys some credit, at least the majority of European immigrants make an attempt to learn the international language of business. English. Whats next? Spanish road maps for travel in the United States??
Too lazy to go to night school for free and learn our language, we shouldn't have to cater to people who are too lazy to learn the language.
Cut off all financial aid to illegal immigrants and we would have more money for alot of beneficial things like hurricane aid!
My take. |

According to the e mail I received you have already done it for the 500,000 hispanic drivers out there. Why even bother to ask us our opinion? Dated Sept. 1 and this post is dated sept 2.
Home | About Us | Contact CAD | Testimonials | Trucking Forums
Introducing ClassADrivers.com Espa?ol.
C.A.D. Enterprises LLC and ClassADrivers.com are proud to announce the launch of our driver recruiting website translated for the nearly 500,000 Hispanic Drivers on the road in the United States. We are launching this website in conjunction with GATS.
In order to reach the growing Hispanic Driver market, we have translated ClassADrivers.com so that we can present job opportunities to the Hispanic Drivers in a format that will be easier for them to navigate.
Hispanic Drivers are required to be able to read and speak English in order to obtain a CDL in The United States.
Even though a Hispanic Driver may be fluent in English, some find that they would be more comfortable navigating our website translated into Spanish.
Many drivers have asked why so many companies are catering to the Hispanic population versus other nationalities.
The simplest answer is that The United States shares a border with Mexico versus other countries. It would not make as much sense to translate the site into Chinese or Russian as the borders are considerably further apart.
By providing ClassADrivers.com/Espanol/, we are providing a vehicle by which the Hispanic Drivers can make more informed decisions affecting their career decisions.
We will be featuring all of our current recruiting clients on ClassADrivers.com/Espanol/ free until October 1 2005. After 10-1-2005, we will only be presenting companies that have elected to be featured on ClassADrivers.com/Espanol/.
Our clients who elect to be featured on ClassADrivers.com/Espanol/ will have the option to leave their company comments on their profile sheet and their job postings in English or;
1. Have their company specific comments and job postings translated into Spanish then provided to us for uploading.
2. Have ClassADrivers.com provide professional translation services for company specifics and job postings for a set fee.
We are also in the process of translating OwnerOperatorJob.com and should have it done in about 2 weeks.
For more information concerning ClassADrivers.com/Espanol, or to make comments, please contact us through our online contact form located at Contact CAD

I agree with formertrucker about "The way I see it it that here soon it will be almost all Hispanics.Why cause they will take that cheap freight that everyone else doesn't want to take and some of the O/O will be out of business cause of that cause O/O wont take that and they will not too mention but you can work them like a dog and they will still work cheap.

Yes this is America, but here foreigners get treated better than we do. They get so much for free and we "if you work" get no help, unless its from your unemployment (which as an American who has worked, you are in titled). No work, no unemployment. Has anyone tried to get disability, or God forbid any kind of help from DSS. Mexicans and others, not just non Americans get plenty of free assistance. Remember it was our own President who stated our social security was in trouble, but regardless the war goes on, then the misfortune of a few hurricanes, wild fires, floods in the N.E. and now the earth quake and relief money is there, but what's the only way you can ever get any help. Most of them don't even have to ask. There's the situation with illegal aliens and talk of giving them a bank account....illegally here and help them get on our welfare system.
Now, they are driving trucks, hauling loads of whatever for cheap hourly or load pay. How will the o/o's who own or are making payments to own with all the overhead ever hope for better...or decent pay when companies have these folks to turn to and those who have raked and scraped for years to get by and some who have finally been able to get their heads above water and pushing for better pay per load or hourly rates ever hope to get anywhere. The government needs to remember charity starts at home... here with "us" Americans, the backbone of this nation.....no its not them, its us! |

:roll: ... hum let's see ... America will take in Anybody from another country ... feed them .. shelter them ... clothes them ... give them medical help ... and free classes to learn our language and help them to get a job .... hummmmm .....
My ONLY son went over sea's to fight for Our freedom, because he feels loyal to our Country and was willing to lose his life, so that others could live free and continue to Think this is a free country ... (Thank You God for letting him come home in one piece ) .....I've always prided myself on being - - "open minded " ... BUT ...... somewhere we need to say - - " If your willing to move from another country and live in the USA .. You too must make a SACRIFICE andlearrn the language - called English :!: .... " this is a sore spot with me - Sorry :!: I will respect anyone that I meet, .... but Respect ME and MY country by speaking English.......... When my family came to America 90yrs ago .. they had to learn the language here in order to get a job and survive . Small price to pay - to live here ... wouldn't you say :?:
Sad to say .. it was a NON-English speaking person ... that caused the truck accident I was in years ago - - which sent me home to heal and I will never forget the feeling that went all over me, when I went to speak to that driver ... and he COULDN'T speak English .. daaaaa .... wonder how much He was able to really learn in school ... if he couldn't communicate with others :!: :evil: .... I'm not saying he had the accident because of his NON-ENGLISH speaking ability, but I sure do have to wonder if the LACK of his ability-played a part in being a Quality Driver ...
And from a Business stand point .... no doubt it's a good idea to translate this site and all of them in spanish ... business are all about making the - Money - ... this is a great site ..... :) .... But Enough is Enough :!:
Now that's my 2cents ... and I'm stickin to it ... :wink:

| I am an American of Mexican descent but first and foremost American only. Born in the USA!!! I agree that foreigners get more help than we as born Americans do. I do not want a hand out. I work for a living. Why should we capitulate and keep stooping down and bending over backwards for those that are too lazy or stupid to learn the English language. I served this country for 10 yrs in my Marine Corps and I'll be damned if what I served for goes down the tubes because Mexico can't keep its people in check. Want to come over here? Ok but don't expect freebies, earn it like everyone else. By the way, I live on the US-Mexican border and it disgusts me to see how many easily it is to cross over illegally. To he$$ with political correctness, get the he$$ out of my country!!!! Sorry for the emotion but people that don't belong here illegally and want special treatment really irk me... |

| Great idea CAD, obviously drivers and driver recruiters are going to see the idea very differently. It's a matter of good business sense, the market is definitely changing and company's have to change with them it's not a question of agreeing or liking it, it's filling a need because the driver shortage is not going to get any better. Tolerance, you may be surprised! |

We were offered both French and Spanish in High School. I graduated back in 1970. I learned both languages, and feel it's nice to be able to communicate with my neighbors...when I'm visiting in their Countries!
But I believe...when in Rome...do as the Roman's do.
My Mother is Italian...and had to learn English. My Father's Grandmother also lived with us, and was German. She too made the effort in her old age to speak English. I was very fortunate to learn their languages at an early age.
When I lived in South Texas for 6 years...I was very surprized children were graduating from U.S. High Schools without learning English very well at all. The Mexican population seem to be the only immigrating Nationality who seem to feel we should bend to their will. This does not do them any service. I feel we should be Bi-lingual to some extent...and respect each other as best we can. But...English should be the excepted norm...both in business and at public venues. Nothing wrong with U.S. children learning Spanish. Like I said at the beginning...I even was offered Spanish yeah many years ago...and I live as far from the Mexican border as most. The Mexican population here in the States, is growing and that is not going to stop. Nothing wrong with respecting each other...but the attitude that seems to prevail mainly with the Hispanic's is arrogant, and adversarial. I lived with them in South Texas. I think they feel they are the new "slave" population. Maybe, I'm wrong...but I think there is resentment.
People do like to keep whats fimiliar. When they move to a new location...they like to make it up like where they came from. I'm not okay with that either.
I wanna say...if you move to a new location...speak the language...learn to fit in with local customs...become a part of that community. When I moved to South Texas...I made every effort to BE SOUTH TEXAN. I hate it when people move to a new neighborhood and want to change it to their liking. That is disrespectful, shallow minded, and ignorant. Maybe that is the true source of their resentment. Not that they are a downtrodden victim. They just further alienate themselves, and the locals are they one's being disrespected.
A Spanish CAD? How you say...NO. |
