YES!!!! Let's STRIKE!!!!!!!!

ROFL !
The day every truck shuts down, the world will stop spinning. You know that you can't get two truckers to agree on anything.
And what makes you think they will shut down, hell you can't get any one to send in thier comments into the fmcsa on the propsed new hos rules. And you think they are all goanna shut down. ROFL!

 

I don't see it so much as agreeing. Many do agree that something has to be done about HOS and wages, etc.

Biggest problem is that TOO many truckers are lazy and don't want to be bothered to actually stand up for something. They'd rather waste their time complaining about all that is wrong and how "they" would fix it if they could. How many of them actually send in comments or write their congress or senators? That percentage is probably in the single digit percentages. Nothing will get done or change unless folks voice their concerns to the proper powers that be.

 

What you need to do is strike the company you work for, or go find another job. if your an O/O then your screwed cuz you can't strke against your self.

 

Drivers don't really need to "strike" per say.

They could simply all make sure that their HOS reset ALL HAPPENS ON THE SAME COUPLE OF DAYS. If hundreds of thousands of drivers resets overlap over a two or three day period,what happens?

Collusion and racketeering become impossible to prove on an individual basis........remember.......you were simply obeying the HOS laws to begin with.

Use the tools they give you to show them how broken the system really is.

 

I sent in my comments about dentention but they said that you can get dental coverage through your employer...

 

It will never happen because too many drivers are willing to work for whatever to either put food on the table or pay bills. That's why the rates are still in the tank. You will always have someone who will haul something for nothing, especially when all the Mexican trucks are unleashed.

 

Weren't rates always in the tank?

 

If everybody keep saying that it is impossible , then it will be my friends. BUT if we all stand up an make enough BALLS to not only talk but act then , guess what it will work!!! Tadammm see what happen in europe few years ago when they decide to park !!! YES WE CAN
