Picketing jb hunt

#### it boooooyyyyyyy! This man need's a beer! He deserves it! I was starting to wonder if anyone had the swinger's down there to do so. Next will be my turn next week after a call to the IRS and Labor Board if F.F.E doesn't send me my #### check they owe me!

 

So what the big deal? Is unusual for a trucker to stop talking and start walking?
BTW, What did the sign say?

 

Good on ya brother. This is the only way this picket stuff works; co by co and personal. But ya gotta be willing to pay the price.

But ya gotta understand that the big guys like JB are not gonna change practices over stuff like this. JB (and others) have been doing "stuff" forever. Someone mentioned their "rep"; well they've had that "rep" for as long as I can remember but drivers are still lining up at their door and they're not exactly hurting for eager customers.

JB himself once said "I don't give a #### if each one of my trucks only makes a dollar a day". Pretty hard to combat that mindset.

 

I admire anyone willing to make a statement, such as picketting an unfair industry, such as trucking. That being said, it would be time better spent putting that time and energy into another career field. As previous posters have stated, these companies have plenty of people lining up to go work for them. You want to make a real statement, find another career field and stop being a patsy to the trucking industry.

 

But ask the guy (Don) that was doing the picketing, they falsely dinged his dac, so that was his recourse because no one would hire him because of it, then he got a break when a trucking company found out what happened and gave him a job, so what he did picketing jb hunt was in his favor because it paid off in the end, i say kudos to Don for having the kahonies to do it.

 

I concur. That's exactly what some of these companies need. A Watchdog Society, letting them know that we won't take any s*** off of 'um.

Kudos Don. Best of Luck at your new co.

 

Yes! The American spirit is alive!

I worked for JB in 2005, I was parked at a truck stop so long the manager came out and put a building number on my truck!
