72 hour blitz huh?

I'm from illinois, and boy.... what a party it was!!!! Oh, went into wisconsin. It was a party at 3AM..... about 13-15 trucks, barn full waiting in line.... 10 full growns in Pleasant Prairie, WI scale.

 

Came from Arkansas to Ohio today....no scales open going north

 

It is a necessary evil.... How many companies you think would run unsafe equipment without the threat of random inspections.... Plenty would and plenty still do it is just the way of the world

 

No inspections yet! But bout to cross PA WISH ME LUCK HAHA

 

BOOM 2 days goneeeeeee now pa, to new Jersey...then tenn! Haha!

 

I remember last two years only IL doing inspections on this week, couple of other states did next week and that's it, nothing crazy

 

Pa was pretty busy going west but not east......flatbeds were getting railed

 

Thought about this today...

PERSPECTIVE:

•blitz, derived from the german term blitzkrieg
-a war tactic used by Nazi Germany, meaning to use all of ones forces and resources to attack the pronounced enemy state, usually by surprise

"blitzing" you -using your tax dollars, while eating and drinking tge food you delivered, driving in a vechile you helped make, using gas you delivered

The federal DOT could have coined any other term, safety week or american truck alliance safety week... no, war was waged on the American truckers, using the same tactics Nazi Germany did...

Maybe you just call it freindly fire. They coined tge term not me, this is my business so yea I take it personal

 

What about a 72 HR strike. The feds recently mandated that the states could not ban cpm for drivers or that states couldnt require their private sectors to throw in paid breaks. Hmmm.... States have always had authority within their own jurisdiction to make their own rules. Take marihoochie for instance. It's not federally legal but they can't stop states from legalizing it because it's constitutionally within their rights as a free state. So how is it they can mandate what the states require out of their employers? Because theirs more profit in a cpm for all the powers to be. The heck with a 72 HR blitz. Let's have a 72 HR strike. No more big brother krap. We aren't striking to lessen government rule, we are a private sector and constitutionally fighting for NO government rule. They forgotten who feeds them, who builds them, and even who wipes their #####. I call for a OCtober 1st-3rd strike to show big brother who the real Grinch CAN be if we wanted to be. Don't let them take your kindness for weakness. ELD mandate? Really. No overtime like every other employee? No pension plan. Wow guys, we suck. Let's call for equal employment opportunities in October.

 

Good luck with that idea of a strike. Can't even get a group of flatbedders to agree on proper securement of a load of lumber.
