Why a strike? The CSA 2010 will cripple trucking.

Just copy the link to the video where he says he is Muslim and America was never Christian. I seen a few of them but they are all cut up or taken out of context.

There are more then a few Christian Terrorist groups running around.

I'm not Muslim but I am smart enough to see that most Muslims are not terrorist.

Sorry if it ran off topic but I have a hard time not responding to people who post things they hear about on the CB or youtube. Like I already said, I don't support Obama and I'm not a Muslim. There are plenty of FACTS you can use to defend your opinion. Why use false statements or cut up clips?


Edit. I did find 1 clip that wasn't cut up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GFKqOf8EHQ&feature=related

 

Hey :
I have no intensions of trying to start something bigger than it already is.
I said the clips were unclear and That if on a jury {I} would have to toss them out. But CNN aired him saying those same things.. I guess your issue with the truth on it would be with them.
No, I do not have the dates they were aired..

I already stated that I did not get this from an e-mail nor the CB or any truck stop. I am too smart for that..

As for plenty of facts ,,,, That is your statement now and that alone should be enough to defend my position.. You said it.

I really don't see where we disagree or have arguement with eachother, rather you assumed that I was fact finding from the web which is not what happened.
So , ends up I am not a forum rambo rather making a statement that holds more water than you were at one point willing to admit..

I'm fine with that and am often missunderstood. And I must admit I have done the same thing you are doing at times. Maybe more than I should ..
Thanks for the enlightenment .

 

It's gonna take more time than he has left in office to come close to that. Rest assured he won't see a second term. Besides, it's not Obama that is pushing rail freight. It's big money. Investments. Bribes. Persuasion in congress in all the right places. That's why I support efforts in this country right now to NOT re-elect incumbants.

 

Hey :
I agree > Woody is right . Rail freight will continue to grow. The president ne matter who he is does not control that.
He may push for it but in any fashion of the meaning , he knows very little if any thing about what makes freight move in this world.

Ever see what rail road workers are paid ? Not too shabby.
I had 2 Uncles that were engineers and drove the big trains cross country.
They did well money wise.. They are both gone now but left me with a few storys... No log books back then , maybe they still don't , Not sure how that works now.
They worked 24 on 24 off...

Anyway < I guess I am not too worried about the CSA thing as I am an O/O and have been since 1981..

I can see how this would mess with the minds of some drivers that should not trust the companies they work for.

Solid O/Os have survived a lot worse things than this. Good company drivers have nothing to worry about other than their company getting nailed and them being left without a job.

A strike will likely not happen as their is no unity any more.
I was informed that there will be a road side Dot hit again this coming 8th through the 10th.. Beware , this is real and not some e-mail bull.

 

Always is a DOT hit every June. They go 24/7 during those few days..... Oh by the way under CSA 2010 it wont matter if your an O/O or not its all the same.

 

FWI,it was "Big Money" that pushed (sat)Obama,the rails werent even a thought . . . . . . .

 

Why can't truckers stick together, why can't we unionize or strike? Well, just read these posts, imagine the mentalities behind them and, voila', you have the answer in a nut shell (pun intended) Buncha nut jobs... Don those foil hats you guys, Obama's cronnies can't read your minds and come after you that way, really!

 

I had to look over my shoulder to see if someone was standing behind me talking on the CB.

 

I have a clean MVR, I do things legal, I follow the rules of the road. I operate safely.

If you do not have the ability to control your drinking, drug use, or are the type that does not follow the rules of society, then why should I sit home and not earn a living for my family or work to achieve my dreams for you.

Just saying...

Am I suppose to strike for a dirt bag company who wants to pay its drivers .28 CPM, one who leaves drivers in a truck stop and not dispatched for 3 days, or one that will replace only one brake shoe on the left front wheel, or that defer maintenance to the point that a driver brakes down on every trip out of the yard. I sure don't want to strike to help them.

The good drivers know that CSA 2010 will benefit the good drivers and companies. It will get rid of rif-raf, the dangerous or the unqualified (Medically or otherwise.) If you think I am talking about you here, then I might just be. If I am, you need to make better decisions and hold companies to a higher standard.

I look forward to higher freight prices and being able to survive on shorter runs. More home time in the end with better pay.

Of course, Obama may end up federalizing all freight next...

 

Don't hit your head when you wake up !!!!
