Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Truckers Strike Forum We all hear of a trucker strike. Let's put all the trucker strike threads in here, please so they will more organized. 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.

I agree with you on the attorney thing. I think you have came to the realization that jb hunt is never going to pay you what you deserve. I don't think that this is what your beef is aimed at doing anyway. Sure you would not turn it down but what you are after is for change in the way they treat drivers. You have sacraficed yourself for the good of the next generation driver. An attorney will not only cost money, but he will look to take the fight into the courtroom. You don't want that. You want the fight right out in the open for all to see.
My guess is that jb hunt looks at you like a fly right now. They think you will grow tired of this and go away. For you to succeed you must show them that you will not tire, that you are in this for the long haul. Once they realize that they will do something. Until then, you can bet that they are just sitting back laughing at you, probably thinking what a nutjob you are and how you are waisting your time.
You can't give up! When you do they win.
like i have always said...."they screwed the wrong driver"...anyone who knows me knows that i am not gonna go away....it may take some fund raising for gas to get there and i may not be able to stand out everyday...but...i think if i did they would get used to it after a while....im glad i show up in a surprising manner....its my own "shock and awe" way of doing things....rest assured driver i am doing this for all the right reasons and i am never backing down to these criminals....tenacity my friend....i was raised to "not take any #### from anyone".

What you need is publicity before they pay attention. Try calling a local new station and see if you can get a news crew out there. Call the local morning talk radio shows. Once someone besides JB starts to pay attention, then JB will really be concerned.
Hunger strikes are tough but they seem to draw attention.

Maybe Glen Beck is running low on material (unlikely, but). He can get out his red light and bullhorn, get everyone all hysterical about it.

At least through this all, the company that hired you was able to see just How JB works and that you are now working again!
Kudos for standing by your principles!
