Yes, WSJ says ~200k non-domiciled immigrant CDL holders are “more than 5%” of all CDLs. But the story’s main point is the step-change: “just a handful” failed annually (2021–2024) vs “more than 10,700” after stepped-up English enforcement.

I agree, but unless there's another step-change the effect should be minor.

“The founder of the Punjabi trucking association… says the group is losing members… It had around 2,500 members… now it has 2,000.”
Members leave trucking → capacity tightens → routes go unfilled.

Yes, but magnitudes matter. It takes a lot to move market prices over a large area.

Agreed on magnitude. The article is pointing to early signals: routes hard to fill, drivers harder to find, networks shrinking.

That's a small share of total truck drivers, isn't it?
