    So that's all you have too do. If you can get enough drivers to just park that truck for a week
    no doubt those Grifters in Washington D.C. might take notice of what needs to be fixed with
    the trucking industry in this country. How about July 4th, 2015 to start a massive nationwide
    truck stoppage? Its kind of odd that this story has not been in the news in the USA? Maybe
    the powers that control the media and trucking have decided to ignore this story. They don't
    want any of us peasants getting any ideas they we could do the same thing here.

    Press on, nothing in the world can take the place of persistance.
    Talent will not: Nothing is more common then unsuccessful men with talent.
    Genius will not: Unrerewarded genius is almost a proverb.
    Education alone will not: The world is full of educated derelicts.
    Persistance and determination alone are omnipotent.

    So you read about it a week ago? Then why did it take a week for someone to post on here about it?
    If it was about Tracy Morgan VS Walmart, or The latest on Madonna, or the Bruce Jenner freak show it
    would be a typical media circus. And people ##### about how rotten the trucking business is and don't do
    anything about it. Talk is cheap-action is priceless.

    WHEN EVERYTHING IS COMING YOUR WAY YOUR IN THE WRONG LANE.

    TTR member Rocks is from Brazil and has been posting about this strike in other parts of the forum. She lives and drives here in the USA but is in Brazil at the moment. Check out the " Where are you ? " and "Stopped here for the night" threads for her posts.

    here,
    I think they blocked the median too...



    [​IMG]

    15 days into this strike... 96 strategic points in major Brazilian highways...



    [​IMG]

    This "movement" is being organized by leaders of over 100 independent groups all over Brasil and via Facebook...



    [​IMG]

    They are not using any truckers' union cause said it never worked in that country... :biggrin_25512: cause those unions are "hand in hand" with government. This movement is formed mostly by independent drivers... :yes2557:
