The Problem with a strike and the date.

[dieselhound]

Guilt will not work with me. The hospitals are always well stocked. They never know what epidemic they have to tackle in a moments time. As far as being wrong, I understand what I read and that's what you wanted to be known.

[JetBote]

Always well stocked?? You really have no idea what you're talking about. First about my personal feelings, now about the internal supply of a hospital. Please, keep typing. I'm having a lot of fun watching your credibility diminish word by word.

[Whitelinefever]

Wow...I see alot of self important people flattering themselves...ie;"they're out to get us".....I have FOOD I have MEDICINE...please....go easy on yourself...if it was that urgent of a device or such...that's what helicopters are for...besides.....who can afford decent healthcare anyhow that something like that would apply to us??....hmmmm but,if you were right....that would be a good attention getter....however...newsflash......you're not the stagecosch bringing in the colera medicione on Little House....LOL..YOU keep it up too,I'm amused

[dieselhound]

OK, I have NEVER went to a hospital and they said, sorry we don't have the supplies to treat you- nor have I heard of that. I guess you got me. I don't go to my local and "along the way" hospitals and ask about their supply stock. I see that must very important to you to do. I don't have time because I'm out rounding up business for MY company. You can argue with someone else now because you don't mean anything to me.

[JetBote]

Well, now I've setup the scenario. And you can all see that we don't get along in any fashion. That's how drivers are, and when we don't stand together, we lose and the foolish wonder why. Again, with education, typos I can get past, but your jibberish and complete spelling mistakes and reference to Little House are funny.
Back to the strike...

[Whitelinefever]

Struck a nerve ,huh?Keep thinking you're so important...lol ... just stay in the right lane and keep your selfimportance to the those family members who think you're a mighty trucker... as far as the typos?Who cares?...Sounds like a pencil pusher who came into our industry...hey,how's your automatic?...LOL...better check your qualcom....got your big OOIDA jacket on?....Chain wallet?Echo turned up loud?Antennas aimed foward for your cobra25?LOL this is fun...hey,and dont forget to do at least 35 when you leave the truckstop...'cause this way it'll look like you have a fast truck!

That's exactly the reason I take my position on this strike. When "your company" is done, shoot me a pm. I'll be your referral and get a sign on bonus for you. Heck, I'm right down the street from you.

now THAT was funny...mean but funny

Ok, I can see that you can't figure it out. So, follow me here. I'm 37. I've been driving for this company for 10 years. I've been driving class A for 14 years. That puts me at 23 when I started. Still with me? Pencil pusher? No stupid, its called educated.

I had an autoshift. Great tranny, but would not accelerate as fast as a stick through the shifts.

Qualcomm? Welcome to technology. Don't tell me you have the big brother mentality surrounding the satellite?

Ooida? Why waste money on that crap?

PC76 with Wilsons straight up.

I don't speed or jake through truckstops.

Why not do it this way.......
Instead of a strike, Drive the posted speed limit. Run our logs to the tee. no more doctoring our log books. Running the posted speed limit will save fuel. Logging corectly and taking the required breaks will makes us more alert and better rested. It would cost the companies more money. I totally agree something needs to be done about the fuel prices, I'm not sure that a strike will solve anything.
The government is just looking for any ol' reason to open the border to Mexico. If we all strike we might just see a bunch of mexican trucks hauling our freight.

Just something to think about.
