    The
    The gov only responds to
    Two types type of action .

    Large amounts of cash bribes ,
    Uh, I mean
    Campaign contributions

    and
    They also respond to violence .

    if the truckers who speak
    English did what the blacks did , have riots and burn and loot ,
    Uh, I mean ,
    Have mostly peaceful protests


    Then the state and fed govs would suddenly start enforcing that requirement

    It was a lot of white folks and various ethnicities rioting and looting during those times too. As we know, rioting never works. See all those you mentioned, and Jan 6.

    Agreed. Problem is everyone is too busy being fat and happy. Once the bread and circus goes away the pitchforks raise. This is why they made sure to leave liquor stores open during the Scamdemic.

    I am going to start a post that might define how much influence a truck driver actually holds. Once I have hit my required postings (6) I am going to start a blog. I would be very interested in ideas that cultivate unity and strength. I have had this idea; and after spending a few days on the HILL watching organizations suck the life out of its members and producing no result maybe it’s time for a seriously easy movement that can be engaged in by every CDL holder in the world. SPARTAN 34. //// The concept is simple. Take a period of time, a 34 hour reset. Make it a National Weekend - better yet maybe a 34 hour Mid Week event and every CDL holder across the globe takes a 34 hour break. Imagine the impact. Imagine the dock workers who would be getting paid with no freight showing up. Imagine every Agent or Broker having no to sit and wait for a driver to answer them about a load in the middle of the week. Distribution centers having minimal work to perform. The list goes on and on. The benefit is to the trucker collectively. Every truck stop could throw a BBQ in celebration. Every Rest Area would become a 34 hour mid week festival. Unity and Strength with Solidarity. The date would be selected to increase impact and it would never be known until it was too late for anyone to plan for it. Strategic implementation. Great way to start a fresh clock and show support for other drivers and companies. If it hurts people begin paying attention.

    As an employee, it's easier for me to work for a company that pays me properly. As a carrier, it's easier to sell the business and do something more productive. Why would a business want to help his competition?

    Call for a National Truck Drivers Strike #7,543. When you can't get two truck drivers to agree on a topic, how will you get 3.5 million to agree to a work stoppage????
