I lived through a teamster strike and an independant strike. Guess what? It did no good then, it will do no good now.
How many different languages do you speak? 'Cause ya gotta let ALL those who don't speak English know that they can't haul your freight 'cause we're on strike.
Want to institute a change?
1) VOTE
2) Spend your time and efforts securing a job that works for you.
More rules and regs? I think its time for a shut down strike.

On blitz week, all the O/O's that normally stay home that week, instead they "demonstrate" at their State Capital bobtail. Show the representatives that we are serious about this. You want to make a statement, then SHOW THEM, don't write them.
SHOW THEM THAT YOU ARE SERIOUS. There is nothing illegal about a demonstration on our behalf.omarthebear, RickG, Rocks and 1 other person Thank this. -
The only strike that would work would be for wannabes to quit going to CDL mills and starter companies like lambs to the slaughter . A 6 month boycott with no new students would bring bottom feeder carriers to their knees . Rates and pay would have to go up .

Who's to say it's illegal if you are stopping at the capitol to deliver a letter to your representatives. Say....at 8 AM on July 1st......omarthebear Thanks this. -

You don't have to take your trucks to demonstrate, you can just take signs. I totally agree with doing it both weeks. if you really want to change things we need to stand up together, as a brother and sisterhood. if everyone starts saving money now and everyone actually does shut down then how could they fire you. I believe it is against the law for any employer to fire anyone for doing a demonstration. It wont hurt your bottom line, it will actually help it in the long run. do you really like being told that you have to rest when you are not tired? Do you really enjoy having to drive when you are tired? How about stopping someplace when there is no place to stop, because you don't have another 30 mins of time to get someplace safe to park. Unless you want to risk a ticket and fine for driving over the limit. Or get written up and having that on your record at your job. That's always a good thing too.
