In late November, President Joe Biden touted the benefits of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan during a visit to Dakota County Technical College in Minnesota.
Biden toured campus with students from the college’s Heavy Truck Technology Area.
The president told the students that they are the next generation of American workers and emphasized why he believes they are important.
And then he kept talking, which of course meant that he started making up false stories, as Joe Biden often does.

“I once drove a tractor-trailer”
Addressing three people, Biden told them, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer, so I know a little bit about driving a big truck.”
One young male student responded: “That’s awesome.”
Of course, Biden continued, “I only did it part of a summer, but I got my license anyway.”

This is not the first time he said this
After that, the RNC Research Twitter/X account shared, “Forty-eight years in politics, Joe Biden repeats lie that he ‘used to drive a tractor-trailer.'”
that’s right. Joe Biden said the same thing in 2021.
And get fact-checked!
Politifact followed up on Biden’s claims. But what did they find?
“We asked the White House press office about Biden’s truck driving qualifications but received no response,” Politifact noted. “There is no record of him driving an 18-wheeler, which is typically what tractor-trailers are. His closest experience was in 1973 As a senator, he traveled 536 miles on a tractor-trailer from Delaware to Ohio.”
and?
No, Joe Biden is not a tractor-trailer driver. pic.twitter.com/53rd0ZWljG

Lying Biden
“Biden said he once drove a tractor-trailer,” fact checker reminds. “There is no record of him doing so, and his past comments suggest that at most he had the opportunity to drive one at some point. His mention of a summer job suggests he was referring to his time as a bus driver, not a truck driver.
“We believe this statement is false,” they added.
Who would have thought? Forgetful Johu made up and lied.
