Independent truckers strike hurting area businesses

Besides the news stories... There were 460 people viewing this thread just a few seconds ago!

Way to go guys!

 

Throughout the day yesterday, just this forum there was over 2,000!

 

Wow! Congrats guys!!

I know that there has been some negative reactions from some folks about the strike, but remember one thing... If the goal was to raise awareness of the issue, than "Mission Accomplished!"

 

you forgot a word in your comment
it should read ["ITS NOT JUST THE BROKERS"] and I for one HAVE done my homework

 

Hats off to all of ya!!

I started driving a few years back and wanted to start my own company, but decided to wait. I went back to aviation for a while.

Strike....I say, "Go for it!"

When I flew at the airlines, if we couldn't go on strike, we'd do a slow-down, just to piss the companies off. In this case, loads would be late and the four wheelers will be curious as to what is going on.

I say go for it! God bless!!

No, you need to do yours. I am not saying they are the only problem but it is a large contributer. If a load pays 800 but you only get 400 you cant tell me another 2 or 3hun would not make a difference in your bottom line...

We need disclosure and the brokers who are portraying themselves as carriers should and will be reported. They are violating fmcsa 371.7 b

Also, carriers who broker loads... 371.9

Also, check out 371.3 (a)(6)(c)

You see, I do my homework and drivers are getting RIPPED OFF!!! because these rules are broken every day and no seems to have any Idea!!!

 

I love the you need a permit to assemble part....<sigh>...
