Why a strike? The CSA 2010 will cripple trucking.

If they would up it to around 64% then alot of the crash dummies would be back where they came from

 

If this happens, I guarantee the govt will step in (gods help us all!) and create even MORE problems.

 

lol, what are they going to do, call the UN in to drive trucks

 

Govt subsidies. Think AmTrak on the interstate. And be afraid.

 

They invited themselves in along time ago
Many carry their mark,the mark of the beast C D L

 

Correct my math if it's wrong but I read that there are over 3,000,000 CDL holders in the U.S. Of course, not all of them are subject to FMCSRs to the degree that interstate drivers are, but, if 175,000 out of 3,000,000 lost their jobs, that's less that 6% or 6 out of 100. From many of the posts I've read here on the forum, I think some of the veteran drivers would gladly unload 6 bad drivers and keep 94 good drivers. No one wants to see someone lose their job, but no one wants to lose a loved one either.

 

You have to watch those numbers, such as there may be 3 million CDL holders however 1 million are prob just starting out, I havent checked it lately but only 10% of new CDL holders were still in trucking within 6 months. Its kind of like the unemployment numbers no a true number for the real world

 

Your not wrong MCR, everyone knows its coming and Ive already seen some companies taking all the precautions they can. But it will not all be negative. Sooner or later it will fall under the old supply and demand rule. When the number of qualified drivers goes down , the pay will come up
