    Just think if all the truck stop employees went on stike. Trucks would have to stop soon. No more shower or bathrooms no diesel and no place to park. Who is going to change our tires when they go flat. It won't be the drivers

    with what many truck stop workers get paid, and being non-unionized, there will be no shortage of new hires.

    meaning, you won't notice the difference in truck stop services....dirty showers, unstocked and dirty bathrooms, wait staff in the dinning area slow, the boofey table low on refills, the coffee like mud, and the fuel island truckers washing thier trucks with the window squeegee....

    White Volvo guys will take care about America. They don't need as much as picky native drivers.
