How do you think this will affect sectors like agriculture, logistics, or construction that rely on foreign seasonal workers?
Feels like we just swapped a grain chute for a straw right before harvest… If you’re on H‑2A/H‑2B, coordinate now to “pre-book CDL skills tests and onboarding 60–90 days out” and pair new arrivals with experienced domestic drivers for the first rotation to keep loads compliant and on time. It may tighten supply but could improve paperwork hygiene; anyone seeing DMV backlog spikes in CA or FL?
Ran H‑2A rigs for melon harvest last year; ‘pre-book CDL skills tests 60–90 days out’ and we paired that with mobile third‑party examiners in Yuma/Brawley, which cut DMV waits by about two weeks and kept trucks moving. It’ll pinch ag hardest at peak, but the compliance trail was cleaner than our prior visa mix — anyone in FL found a similar third‑party testing workaround near Polk/Hillsborough, @roadboss?
