In Progress TRUCK STRIKE, GA

I predict by the end of this month, March, all of the O/O's will be united as one and all of our trucks will not be moving in an attempt to remedy this fuel/freight problem. It is already begun, the local and national stations are covering it and it will picking up steam from here.

 

I sure hope you polished that crystal ball and it is reading true

 

I really hope this takes off. I have been trucking in Michigan for over 20 years. every driver I talk to is all for it. But I constantly get blown off by all these FAT CAT buisness trucking company owners. I was trying to tell a owner of about 30 trucks in monroe MI. about the shut down and he just brushed it off by saying "It will never happen" then continued to talk about his $600,000 dollar home? guess it's not effecting him....Yet! any suggestions on how to keep this moving?

 

just keep talking to everyone you can, continue posting in every forum you visit call the news media even the little local newspapers cnn seems to be taking an interest, write to your representatives and SUPPORT the shutdown by shutting down!!!

 

I have also reported it to both of our local TV station's here in Shreveport, Louisiana but still haven't heard a thing. Next thing I do which will be within the next day or so when I get the chance is call them and demand they listen. It has begun and it will steady go as more and more discover the it is happening. For those who are big company driver's, to hell with the company, your help is just as much important as any so get some balls and stand up to it. If everyone like I said in a major company stand's up then there's no way they can fire anyone. If they did they would go out of business!

 

If the news don't listen then park them trucks in front of there offices! lol

 

i talked to a friend of mine who is a company driver. he was worried about being fired. they have about 20 trucks. I told him if we could get all 20 guys not to come in one day they wouldn' t fire all 20? This industry is gonna wind up paying guys minimum wage for drivers . If we don't take a stand. there will be people driving trucks with no skill no heart and no desire to be there. Imagine that spaced out kid behind the counter at the fast food place that can't even add up your change behind the wheel of a truck

 

Agree with drive legal (compliant). Make certain your rig will pass inspection if you want to create a little havoc; make sure your logs are current.

Maybe drive at the minimum posted mph, don't drive at night or weekends, only drive during rush hour and post signs on your trucks. The public will certainly notice you then.

How about a few just flat running out of fuel during rush hour?

 

I don't know if this is a devious plan or if the public would think we're stupid for running out of fuel
