    I get treated well.
    I make good money.
    I've been a Teamster, it was the worst experience of my career.
    My working conditions are what I make them.
    I'm an O/O, that means I'm self employed.
    If I go in strike it just means I'm not working.
    I can't strike against myself.
    I make almost six figures annually.


    I don't think so.
     
    ABFer Thanks this.

    Don't go on strike, just don't haul to CA, NY or Washington D.C. and see what happens.

    Pulled a gas tanker around D.C. area, stations are still old with tanks that cannot hold more than 7200 gallons of fuel in all grades.

    72 hours with no delivery and all the gas stations in D.C would be empty.

    [FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif] In 1977 a book was published that was so controversial, before the ink was even dry, the U.S. Secret Service wanted to talk to the author... [/FONT][FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif]The book is "The Emperor's Clothes Cost Twenty Dollars", [/FONT][FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif]And it wasn't long before the author was arrested and jailed'and his brilliant exposé was shoved right where the government wanted it'lost in the anonymous dustbin of history! [/FONT][FONT=arial, verdana, sans-serif] and it was written by a West Point graduate and Air Force officer named Lloyd Darland. A man of honor, most would say.[/FONT]

    So how do you know about the book? Did you write it or did you arrest the one that did? And what does this have to do with a trucker's strike?

    Lloyd Darland died last year, he was 84. I didn't know that he was born in Hutchinson, KS.

    However his book was not lost to the dust bin. You can still purchase it. I can see how the Treasury Dept, the Federal Reserve, would not much like the book.

    Oh and I too don't see how this is relevant to this thread.
