What do YOU think of a trucker strike due to outrageous fuel prices? The April 1st strike fizzled as expected. $5/gal. or more MAY make truckers stand together...if even then.

Are you still looking for a job? If so, I bet if you called JB Hunt they will hire you.

Heck yeah

I tell ya Don, I got to give you props for actually protesting lol. You keep on doing it. If nothing else, you will annoy them alot. I mean, they don't want to be known as that "trucking company that has the big samoan guy with crazy picket signs standing out by the entrance". Keep up the good work buddy.

HMMMM..I would just about bet that JB's high paid lawyers have figured out way to get him jailed. There are around 2-3 MILLION drivers here in the USA at any given time and ALL could be informed about these "low life" companies just by reading this forum. And yet, there are still those that do read and join these companies anyway.

There was a time when drivers would stand beside each other (I would be standing there myslelf if I ran CA anymore) and shut down the "low life" outfits as well as get new laws passed. Now only a handful of drivers even vote anymore let alone stand beside another driver.

We no longer have the "power of the people". We now have the "power of the companies" that have bought our Congress and Senate.

Prehaps is time for me to make a move. Cuba and China are starting to sound like pretty good to me. They getting to where they have more rights than we do.

JB Hunt isn't the only company that does this ####. Barr Nunn did it to me in an effort to get rid of their salaried northeast regional drivers. I hope that he has had some success
with his protest. He has a WARRIORS spirit. That is what has made this country great

Standing in front of their terminal with a sign ain't puttin' no food on the table. Don't get mad, take 'em to court. That's the only thing those bullies understand. Once they hear from your attorney, they'll know you ain't messin' around.
i always laugh when people say get an attorney....uhhh....lemme break it down like this....ive been unemployed since march 6th 2009....ive been barely getting by with the scraps the state gives me....cant find anything else that will pay me more than unemployment. long story short...its real easy to just say "GET AN ATTORNEY" my friend. but attorneys cost money ive looked into pro bono attorneys and they dont want a case unless its a sure gravy train case. so i am literally doing all i can just short of shooting something.
