    But just remember trucking was deregulated in 1980. Look how far that has gotten us.

    We are over regulated for a non regulated industry. Everything but wages and rates are regulated. Might make one think that was the plan.

    I full understand the argument in both directions. We are too far from either.

    Be careful what you ask for. You beef is with your company. Keep Big Brother out of trucking as much as possible.

    Based on the op history here, the op has done nothing but post whining post all over the place and really nothing constructive to say the least..

    Is there ANYTHING a truck driver could do about excessive wait times ??? Or is a truck driver INCAPABLE of finding solutions to the problems she or he has and is just a victim of other people ?

    Serious ? Not trying to be a wise ###.

    For me wait times are very rarely an issue but I was having trouble with live unloads. The problem was getting a knock on my door during my 10 hour break at the receiver announcing they would love to unload me right now , please back into door .....

    I hate being woken out of a sound sleep. I decided to rectify the problem but I did not go to my government I used thinking skills , cooperation skills , business skills , shippers , receivers , my company etc etc and now that problem I had is over with. I think going to the government is just spreading your problems out to other people , make the world change to suit my wants. Don’t worry Bernie is on the way to make your life better , just like Vlad & Joe came to write the wrongs of the working class is in that great soviet experiment.

    For the record
    Police, fire dept, schools, roads, hospitals, emts, social security, military, va benefits, NOAA, unemployment, clean water and air, Medicare, nastac, FEMA. That is just a very short list of socialist programs we have here in America
    Which one do you want to get rid of? Capitalism vs socialism? No such thing both have a place in making America awesome! Without both we would be a 3rd world country. Hope that answers your question. Have a nice day!

    If anybody wonders why TTR is so strict about not making political statements in the main forum, the last few posts in this thread are a good example.
    One innocent statement, with political content made in jest, immediately blows up into a full out shouting match.
    We have a political section for this kind of topic. The password is thickskin. Make your political comments there, not in the main forum.
    This thread is closed.
