truckers protest in ont

There has been a few QUEBEC TRUCKER blockades in parts of that province , outcome was the same NOTHING happens.

The TV crews always interview the Big Slobby Guy polishing the CHROME & STAINLESS on his BRAND NEW TRUCK while about making no $.

 

If it were to come to a strike or shutdown we would have to be united and that will never happen.

 

Yes but for every truck parked wanting $2.00 / mile freight , there is 24 of them willing to do it for $1.18 / mile as most have no clue on running a truck and the CPM it takes to run the truck.

Blockades and highway slowdowns do nothing to boost support from the general public , it just IRKS them.

Be like a convoy of Muscle Cars protesting HIGH $ for GAS, everyone would look at the Nice Cars and go well if you GOT $ for that then you GOT $ for GAS.

It needs to be a SHUTDOWN , trucks parked in the yards not on the highways , and EVERYONE stops not the BOTTOM DWELLERS thinking its a CHANCE to make a QUICK $1.00.

 

unless your doing oversize or something special, which is rare your full of ship.

 

Ah come on now you know WE all GET LOADS that pay that rate.

 

$2.00 a mile freight was twenty years ago A lot in ONTARIO would love to get that rate on the freight they haul

 

Protests solve nothing for 2 reasons....

I) NO solidarity with drivers

II) General public couldn't give a rats ##### unless it effects prices at Tim Hortons or alters the business hours at Walmart!

Two occupations that the masses don't care or reflect on is trucking and farming and I do both....stupid me.
