Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm thinkin' wrought iron.
You know, for the security doors and windows -- and the 10 foot fence -- to protect y'all
from all the OTHERs who will be inconvenienced while we throw our tantrum(s).

If that happens, the chances of a Big truck truck driver bein' elected President wouldn't be as likely as it is today.

From my observation(s) --- those who want instant results from a "strike", are usually the same who rarely, if ever, contact their elected representatives to voice their concerns. Officials who are often elected in the first place because they heard nothing from their voters -- and/or non-voters.

When the elected officials hear nothing, the silence could be deafening.
Imagine that.

Now

Imagine this ----
A sleeze-bag drivin' a Big truck is about to leave a Big truck truck stop.
Before departure, he/she announces over the CB radio;
I'm leavin' 5 full pee-jugs in this here front row spot. Next guy/gay takin' this spot might wanna watch out for them. There ain't no caps on 'em, and they'd be just outside the driver's door.

Hmmmmmmmm
If an 11 meter signal were broadcast,
and nobody had their ears on ---
who'd hear it?
And what would they think/say?

"Thanx for the warning driver."?
"Hold that spot 'till I get thar."?
"Jeeze driver! Have the decency to
dump in the the back row."?
"Oh drat! I think I just ran over it!
Haa HAA haaa HAAAAAA."?

Now, there are those who wonder why few, if any, folks are critical of those actions, -- of which I'm told is the majority. And I might just have a clue.

You see, the "good folks" seem to turn their "Children's Band" radios ---- OFF. Thereby ignoring that chatter.
They've heard enough.
And I don't fault them there.
BUT, silence is another form of perceived acceptance.
What GOES on, goes on because it's allowed to go on --- for many reasons.

Our gubmint is BY the PEOPLE and FOR the PEOPLE.
The gubmint is US.

A "strike" ain't gonna change that.

Strike where when how come>How many of these strike are we gona have Fuel is so cheap now I was payed to fill my tanks and the frieght is so high I can only work two days a week Rest of the week I have fun spendin it.

You really want to make a statement ?
You really want to have an impact ?

Run the way the book tells you to run,by the letter to the "T"
72 Hrs of a Nationwide "Full Compliance" effort WILL Get some folks attention.
The "back-up" will take several days to unwind,

Just think about the impact this will have on the East Coast alone.

No need for a Strike . . . . .

I agree just everyone doing (by the book) would indeed back things up a bit. Hey then maybe the rates would go up as well.

[FriedTater]

People just "REALLY" dont understand how effective it would be.
As long as the "UNIONIZED" mindset of the majority is allowed to be the "guide" there will never be any "progress" made.The last 20 years and 4 attempts will fully support this claim.

This was presented to "OWE'IDA" (OOIDA)back in early 90/91,guess what path/side they chose to take ?

We should be entitled to "better",but the "You Owe Me" Attitude has long since had the road blocked for progress towards any type of favorable change.

all have to do is organize yourself. That's it. Believe me.

America can not handle three days shut down from drivers from coast to coast.

All we have to do is prepare ourselves for these three days. And i know that we can prepare for longer than that, like a week or more.


Pay your bill, cut down for that extra snak. Don't be a baby. Its whether now or never.

I dont have enough time but, i will keep posting some more ideas.
wake up.

i concur and im with you brother 100%
