    This is great! It would never take that long, but there's not enough independent's anymore for a real shutdown and company drivers are just out of touch. But that was the greater plan that came with deregulation. Carriers want the older hand gone so newer blood can get in there that wont know any better.

    Hitler worked somewhat in the same way, he couldn't turn the grown people so he went after their children, the next generation. The problem with this is, that not even the younger generation wants anything to do with this Industry.

    The age old "let's band together and not drive" problem is? It will never work, to many people going to schools to get a CDL, you park it, the company you work for will just put anther body in the seat! Do you believe you can't be replaced? Better guess again, how long are you going to just sit? Do you think the companies are just going to break and say? We submit to all your demands, good luck with that! I agree allot of the regulations today are dumb, but not to the point I'm just going to park and not make any money

    I'd like to know what all this "banding together" and "parking it on the shoulder" is for. What are we trying to accomplish?

    What will it accomplish? Allot of drivers vacating their trucks to make room for the new driver the company hired to replace him/her
