The larger companies use O/O to pull their trailers. That way the companies
enjoy all the benefits with virtually no vehicle cost. The O/O has the most invested and the most to loss. So there is still more independents out there than back in 1979. Just think about it? I think all 100 of the biggest trucking companies have O/O's. More sizeable than you may think.
A strike nowdays would take effect lots quicker stores would run out of bread in a few days and gas would go about as quick. Todays society is only interested in instant gratifacation and the me,me me attitude.
It would work better now than it did then.
Can you cheat an eLog?

We really need a union like the teamsters except for independents and O/O's to bring about change for our benefit. Groups like nta and ooida really don't have our best intrest at heart, especially nta. what ever happens they going to make a profit out of it. -
Strike against whom?
Gotta love the irrational thought process' applied by people. You do have the ability to strike, against any body you wish. Hell you can strike against the FMCSA. Quit paying your HVUT, return your authority and tell them" I am on strike!". I'm sure they will be duelly impressed. -
There are those who will only lick the boots of their masters and those who will end their masters. Which are you?
There was a post in another forum about traffic cones are you one of those who will be glad to only have 5/8 of a cone inserted instead of 3/4?
If you don't know how a strike is organized you get everyone together and decide you want to strike and why. Then you sit at home or some other place of protest. Watch TV some and see how it's done in europe.
Have you ever thought of starting a I love king ray club? -
You're PO'd about manditory EOBRs - at least on this thread. Well do something about it. It's written into a proposed bill that could become a law IF the dang thing is passed.
Call your senator and representatives.
IT'S NOT A LAW YET. -
No oversight and virtually no recourse on the ones selected to enforce this system. More fees and taxes heaped upon taxes and fees we now pay.
A set of regulations the average person mostly don't understand, with enforcement by those whos only goal is to collect money and look busy. I call and every broker I talk with I ask them have they contacted their represenative about this. The whole system needs rolling back the interstate commerce clause needs to be cut back to it's original intent by the founding fathers. Rules need to be few, fair , easy to understand and the same coast to coast. Penalties (there are none now) for officers and officals abusing power and other illegal acts should be super severe, like life without parole or even public execution(the chinnese do it) -
THE WARRIOR GENE
There is a substance on the X chromosome of some males that causes aggressive reactions when threatened. It doesn't cause aggression in general, just an aggressive reaction. Called monoamine oxidase, or MAOA, it is the agent. And, because men only have one X chromosome, the agent has a significant effect. So, if you ever wondered why you are quick to attack when provoked, you probably have the Warrior Gene. If you are a turn-and-sprinter, or a negotiator...probably not.

Typical response. Want somebody to back your petulence, and then the old refrain of threatening of everybody you percieve to be holding you back from that support.
Followed by yet another childish taunt.
Did it ever enter into your inferior cranium that there are far more people capable of running safe, compliant, profitable companies than there are people like you? Might be the reason all the ignorance of people calling for strikes never amounts to childish threats and illegal acts.
If you want to strike why not do it? I know your waiting for that bid lawsuit payday to support your person. But hey maybe if you devoted half the time you invest in instigating trouble on the interstates into finding your slip and fall victim your dreams could be realized. -
I know which one I am, which one are you?
I have just pointed out that when you give goverenment a inch they'll take a mile. You try and minimize what all this is about, it's about more control, they can yank your leash and you can roll over for all I care. But there is lots of people here and everywhere that are tired of being yanked around.
Please name a illegal act I have called for? What i'm talking about is a well organized and plannned shutdown not one of these CB radio deals.
One where the results take effect in days. Just imagine if half the drivers in the USA Stayed home for a week?
