Truck Owners ANGRY and Scared Over Fuel Costs

That sounds dirty almost!! lol, sorry, could help myself

 

This is a great post
from last week
And it is thru the rates payed by the customer that you are payed hourly or salaried, right? How did you ever convince the customer to let you get away with that? If it is so costly and inefficient...

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HARSH LAWS

 

I have been getting e-mails asking if I am supporting a strike in April. NO, I am not...not at this point as there are far too many ball-less truckers right now still and it is not bad enough yet. Once it gets to the breaking point (I reckon $5 or more per gallon), then I will. Right now it would be half-##### and would not do anything except make people hate truckers when they can't get diapers for their spoiled little brats. We MUST have public support and sympathy or it will fail miserably. IF we do not have public sympathy...the government can and will do what it wants with truckers doing this; We have to be responsible on this issue. OOIDA must be involved with this is my opinion. They sure are ball-less when it comes to things like this. Just a bunch of punks up in D.C. kissing ### is about all they are anymore.

Either truckers get together...or we WILL suffer and deserve to! Apathy has long been rampant in the trucking industry...now you'll reap what you have sown for so many years. IF I see such enormous support that truckers are WILLING to risk to gain, then YES I will support and join. Come together now, it's up to you. Sacrifices will be due, are you ready? Get ready if not!

 

april is too far i say this weekend, there wont be anybody left come april if the price keeps going up.

 

Yeahhhh It is...I just had to clean off the Iced Tea on my screen..

But we do need to wake up for sure

 

Well if you can get like 1000s down there all at the same time....And just park them and have like tailgate party's and rallies and all kinds of stuff..maybe people will take notice..

 

Thank YOU! As I have been getting alot of PM's concerning the boards role in this matter...Thanks for clearing this up.

 

Why would anyone assume a forums administrator supports everything said in the forum? It's posted all over that the members are responsible for the content of there posts.

Either way I'm afraid I agree. People are hurting and they are angry but I don't think the general masses are ready to outright revolt yet. At least from the response I see. Not that I don't support, I've always said I would support any such action as I see lots of things that need to be addressed.
