Aint going to happen with you sitting at home...
GO park on the side of I70!!!! and Talk STRIKE... Thats about all it will take...
And Sure where the hell you at 70 / 75? lol -
Hell just go home for your time off and when it's time to go back out just park the truck on the side of the road with trike signs on it and go home. It's about awarness. There could be big gatherings at the capitals etc whatever but trucks parked everywhere would be greatvisual impact. then as other get home they can join as they can. doesn't have to be all at once. Building up to it would work and be percieved as less of a "holding us hostage" move.

oh, and I emailed Kid rock and Hank JR .lol who has the blunt?

Exactly !!
we all could sit at home with the trucks parked, and in the end it would have no effect.
this is going to take visibility.
has to be n the street outside the capitol or a truckstop near a capitol city.
just my opinion, but sitting at the house with your feet up in the easy chair will have no effect.
Imagine, Barstow, ca. just out of reach of the LA valley, all their freight option sitting on the big hill but not coming down. taking the high road. that would get some attention.
imagine 10,000 trucks, sitting in the nevada desert,
hell find me a lake for my fishing rod, and a lawn chair and a busy interstate running by. ( i can think of one of those in texas)
live in the middle of wyoming, it would have no effect here, i would have to wait till near SLC or headed into CA this week.
Bonneville salt flats. 10,000 trucks all lined up. that would be a sight to see.
I bet we could even get President Obama to come give a speech.
GO OBAMA !!! -
Very good point MM. even in my small town of 1300 population, its a main route through here to montana, lots of local trucks here. as well. but exposure is exposure. for sure.

You all do know that the FRENCH truckers did it and also over in ITALY!
If they PROTESTED do to FUEL costs and frieght Rates why cant we?
The strikes only lasted 3 DAYS!
And Yes,
We need to spend as much OFF DUTY time when this thing is in SWING with our brotherhood in the ROAD or on the SHOULDER.
Most of the drivers will be PASS through drivers! We cant just stay HOME!
When we know the majority of them are OTR guys with Wives and Kids at home.
Thats just my thoughts on it!
Cant leave them ALONE!

Actually I emailed his campaign too.

ad it would have an impact out there. the impact would be that you arn't out there hauling the freight when they are trying to shut it down -
good show man.
I emailed the obama campain as well. and for the record, i support OBAMA 1000% yes one thousand percent. -
I GOT IT!!!! DEFINITELY A CUBAN and i just finished roll in it
