I noticed the other day when I was coming down I-81 that the Volvo plant employees are on strike...what a bunch of King size Richards. It's bad enough that there equipment shortages due to component shortages...but to purposely stop working to cause even more problems....this kind of bull-crap is why I HATE unions....they should put high pressure lawn sprinklers that hose down the entire area where these people set up, and run them 24/7...or just shoot them with tranquilizer darts and transport them out into death valley with 2 bottles of water each along with their UAW picket signs and tent. Either way, problem solved. Better yet, take a lesson from a fictional movie from the 80's called Gung Ho....close the plant and move operations elsewhere...let them picket an empty plant.

UAW under Ruther would not strike GM because the number of members that would be on the picket line would drain the strike fund fairly quickly. Inasmuch as GM needed the strike, they actually helped fund the 1970 strike from Sept until mid Nov by a loan of over $50 million to the UAW. All documented in a book The Company and the Union. I have since wondered how many strikes are a bit of collusion.truckerman75103, dwells40, Lonesome and 2 others Thank this. -

If SSB wants his thread to remain open, he will encourage everyone to knock of the discussion about unions.

Another day...another reefer problem. 15 minutes before dropping and -beep- 'your reefer has a yellow code'. I look back at the tattle-tale...green. I look back a minute or two later, yellow, then switches to green...some sort of starter solenoid circuit fault which is odd because I had it on continuous mode (and it wasn't trying to start while running). Contacted breakdown, they said as long as it's holding temp on continuous, go ahead and drop it at the consignee and they will send someone to fix it after it's empty, there was nothing they could do with it loaded since they had to shut it off to fix it, they didn't want to chance it not starting back up, even if it was a quick fix.
Now I am at the TA outside San Antonio. Ops said they're waiting on something for my next load, so they didn't send anything, just said head in the direction of Houston...this is as far as I felt like going today...between truck issues, trailer issues, micromanagement issues, and all the piss poor load planning I have had this month, July can't get here soon enough.Speed_Drums, mushroom1464, Lonesome and 1 other person Thank this.
