Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

But that can't happen, because we can't all be rich. If everyone was rich, rich wouldn't be that different that regular because everyone has the same amount of money.

And we all can't run a society where we all sit behind a desk while no one does any meaningful work.

Try as you may, roads don't get built and rebuilt by people who study for degrees. Maybe the guy who owns the construction corporation may have a degree, but the workers who he exploits for his personal gain don't and wont, ever.

We all can't be degreed slave owners, someone's gotta be the slave in a system like that.

Hmmm..let's take this approach....
Say Obama mandates that everyone must receive a free education through college.....

How many would even go to college???????

How many would even pass their first exams?

So the point is.....The system that worked from 50's until the Bama man came into office by shear deception worked just fine.....

Of course, liberals claim that system is biased because it requires people to work hard and achieve..."How racist"......"How wrong"......




Wealth cannot be given...it must be earned....a concept that liberals fail to comprehend.....

Take a look at anything given away by the government like government housing....say in Jordan Downs (Watts) for example...

When the project was built, it was new and clean....The recipients however broke out windows...threw garbage around..ect.....ect....and then blame the "Man" because they now live in a "dump"....

You know Jesus wanted us to take care of the poor in his day....trouble is...the poor during Jesus' time appreciated the help.....today's poor...pizz and moan because we send over donated clothing and old computers....but they want new.......
I suppose we can't blame them.....the liberals since Johnson's "Great Society" reinforced the "Entitlement Mentality" until it became second nature to the poor....

Now the question is...will Obama survive....because he promised the world to these people....The only thing Obama has done for them, is tax their feet for walking on the sidewalk......

If I were an Obama voter at this point.....I would be pizzed....to the point of grabbing the tar and feathers and gathering several hundred thousand like "lied to" voters and have a little talk with the man who lied to America....

Yeah that's it. Blame Bush again for the spike in oil. There's a good liberal.

Think about it for a second. Who are the ones who think that spending money is helping us to save money? Who are the ones who think that higher taxes is the answer to budget problems? The liberals! But they never wonder why their tax money disappears because companies pack up and leave, and they never wonder why socialism has failed many countries and caused spikes in prices and unstable economies. Capitalism is not the problem here. It's government mucking.

All I know is I was buying diesel for 80 cents a gallon under Clinton and the environmental wacko Gore.

Maybe that was because Clinton cut the military budget and the jar heads weren't out there burning up all the diesel making war on muslim hillbillies in Afghanistan, but who knows???

Your stupid attitude towards workers in this Country is half the problem, we don't have to settle for ANYTHING. No one is pre-destined to be a road builder, they do it because they chose to stop there.
You got something against paying a man who does work the money he needs to live and raise a family? Or do you enjoy short changing that man, and then turning around and offering him a loan? That's the Capitalist thing to do, isn't it? That's creating a new business right? Loan sharking? Just growing the economy, right?

This ridiculous notion that "we need it done" so someone has to make it their lives work, is utter nonsense.
What is utterly ridiculous is stealing a mans labor and claiming you are righteous in doing it, because you are giving him motivation to move on to bigger and better careers just over the rainbow. Most people never find that pot of gold you promise.

And so and so on.
I surely hope you are not one of those people who turns around and ####### and moans about immigration.

I have plenty of money, because I know how to navigate the Capitalist minefield. Unfortunately, most do not know how to, and if they did, my source of income would dry up.

What needs to happen is that everyone needs to be paid a livable wage and capitalist need to be prevented or jailed for stealing people's wages.

I was paying $.50 a gallon under Carter......So what's your point?

When I was 12.....Ethyl was a quarter per gallon under Nixon.....again...what's your point?

When I was 26, Reagan was in office, and I was paying more in taxes per week out of my check than most people I knew were earning pre-tax.....
Again...what's your point?

Today I'm working harder to work for myself.......and liberals call me "evil" and "greedy".....
They tell me that I shouldn't complain about Obama and Shut the Hell up...and just pay more....because business owners are "Thieves"....liberal thought process at work.....

That's my point.........

I don't steal anyones labor. I do my own labor.

Take a broker for example, he steals many drivers wages and puts it in his bank account. He doesn't just take what he needs to live, he takes what he needs to live and then he takes more money for himself leaving the drivers he exploits with less than the money they need to live.

And he does this because he thinks himself smarter and more deserving because he is working in an office behind and desk instead of doing disgusting manual labor like the lower class does. He may even justify his theft to himself by reasoning that he is "motivating" them to move out of manual labor and be like him and do the same thing that he does, steal.

If you have money that you have no need to spend, you're evil and must be punished. That's according to your own words. Good luck explaining that to the really poor people. Remember the LA riots? Keep on going with this rhetoric and they'll be after you. You think they'll care how you got it? Haha!

You know squat about moving freight.......
Sure the broker's margins are higher now than ever before......So..........

The main reason is because Bottom-feeders don't know what it actually costs per mile to run.....
Bottom-feeders do not know the difference between the BEP and profit........

If there is freight on the ground and it's posted.....I call up broker 'A' who tells me a rate and I calculate said rate and if it doesn't work for me....and I try to negotiate up...if the Broker 'A" is unwilling or unable to go up... Then I call broker 'B'....Broker 'B' quotes me a rate that's better and/or I get my negotiated rate...then I take the load.....

I can't help it if a bottom-feeder takes a load for $.80/m from broker 'A'....and I get the same load for $2/m from broker 'B'.......


Nobody forces anyone to run cheap....
The bottom-feeders are either stupid or, they're out to cut-out everybody else because they're running illegal....

Blame the brokers for being greedy?

Surely you jest.........


Tell you what...I have a load of tarped lumber for $.50/m from Bellingham to San Diego and it's a "Just in Time" load.....want to take that load???...it's a great rate for a great O/O such as yourself......
