Gee, do I smell a union organizer here? Well, I dont think you can get all truckers to shut down. In this economy especially, a lot are just happy to have a job. Personally I am happy with my place in the sun, so to speak. If you are not happy, find a company you like, there are a lot of good jobs out there but they wont come to you. If trucking is not yor thing, find another, provided there is another position available in this society.

Menehune it is not about the companies it about that this industry hasn't had a pay raise in over 25 years despite what companies say! Enough is enough...will have EOBR's and Electronic logs and well next will only be able to run 40 hours a week with shutting down Friday until Monday morning at 6am!

RickG Thanks this. -
Because I saw that you started out at .25 cpm...it would give me an idea as to whether or not pay has gone up at all. It doesn't look like it however I would really like to know what starting pay was ten years ago... Thought you might know had you been out that long, but you haven't...

Besides, we dont need union in the industry. Then it will get ever worst then it is now. Once they get their foot in the door they believe they own you. Personally I feel unions have no business in trucking, nor education.
I still stand by my last post, that I dont believe many will shut down with the economy the way it is. Especially, since it is a job, no matter how bad you all perceive it to be. Besides, many cannot afford to not have a job.RickG Thanks this. -
