    Why is there no representation for us? It seems that we are on our own. There is safety in numbers. Please don't delete this post just trying to get some feed back.

    Truckers are stubborn and opinionated. Most of them know it all. And most are in it for themselves. Reason there is no "group" is that truckers can't agree. You ask 20 different truckers the same question you'll get 21 different answers. Plain and simple.

    Because..


    "when it comes to politics, the greatest advantage that large trucking corporations, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) and other political opponents have had over small-business truckers and professional drivers is the amount of money they contribute to political campaigns. They are well-funded and have agendas that are often counter to the interests of OOIDA members. The OOIDA PAC is comparatively smaller than many of our opponents."

    There's your answer. Good bye.
     
    Chinatown and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    One of my favorite sayings a old hand told me years ago...

    You could put two truck drivers in a brothel and they'd still manage to find a way to #### each other.
