    Company driver or not, I'd totally do it. Tell me the date and time we are doing it, I'll hit the shoulder and pop the breaks. They'd certainly notice us then huh? Imagine, all of us , or even a bunch of us...lining the highway shoulders...refusing to move.

    It would take ALOT of organizing... No one could use real names in ANY communications, to prevent any company retaliation, but the internet and secure texting and IM would help with that... But we'd still need a representative organization to actually stand in front of the FMCSA or whoever we're striking against to deliver the message... And the first time someone uses the word "union", you'll have about half of the drivers either having a heart attack or pitching such a Teahadist fit it would threaten to kill the entire thing...

    BUT... if the majority could agree, and we got those representatives working for us, it would be a HUGE wake-up call to the entire nation, not just the industry...


    Speaking of which, wasn't there a strike in the '70s??

    Panic would erupt rather quickly
    The military is already prepared for this.
    Martial Law would be imposed within 24 hours.
    (The economy would be hurt to the point it may not recover)

    If anything
    I would say , ban together and put that picture on bill boards across the country
    Rattle some nerves

    Bottom line is nothings going to give along these lines
    Drivers are to ego centric to agree on anything
    Easier to luxuriate in the misery
