    I have been reading the posts on this forum and many others.
    The point of a Strike is for all the trucks to be parked, well I don't think that will ever happen. And I don't think it should.
    The rolling convoys are a great way to draw attention BUT all the trucks should be in the right lane with their 4 ways on. Not blocking other traffic. All that will do is piss off the general public, not what we want. We want them to be able to go past the convoy and look at all the trucks going slow and ask why. Not be up set by the rotten good for nothing no good truckers making me late.
    That kind of a convoy will make the 5 pm news. That way the press will what to talk to the drivers to find out what the heck is going on.
    Now instead of Crying about the cost of fuel, which will not come down no matter what we do. The gov. can not tell the Oil companys to charge us less, Nor will they lower the taxes on fuel. So where does that leave us you ask. Screwed
    No just kidding. But heres what we have to do. 1. Stop loading cheep Broker loads. If you call about a load and the blood sucker only wants to pay less than $1.50 plus a FSC don't take the load. If everyone starts doing this they will be forced to pay a fair amount to get their loads moved.
    2. When we are doing the news interviews we need to bring up the totaly unfair amount we are charged for tolls. And that the Gov. needs to put an end to all these states that want to turn the Interstates into toll roads.
    3. Put a stop to the Mex. truckers.
    4. Stop taking loads to California, CARB, has gone nuts.
    Well I think you get the idea I could go on for hours.
    I have all ways believed Lead Follow or get out of the way.
    If a leader is needed to get something done, I volunteer but I need your help and backing to get this organized the right way. Or if there is someone else who is more qualified please step on up, and I will give you 100% support
