Prepare Yourself For It. July Is The Time.

If drivers would realize that they are the backbone of this country, maybe they would begin to realize the power they hold. You have the perfect opportunity to strike coming up at the end of this week with the July 4th holiday. EVERYBODY park at noon on Thursday, July 3rd. Be prepared to begin talking on Monday. When the feds are ready to talk, take the stand for all injustices, not just fuel prices. Demand better haul rates as well, and anything else (like HOS) you want improvement on. When you have had strikes in the past, you seem to only focus on one issue, and sometimes that one issue hasn't even been that focused. Let the American people and the government sweat a little--in the end, the American people will thank you because fuel prices will come down, and the government will be forced to take a good hard look at what they are allowing these big oil companies to do to us while they just continue to get richer. Stop complaining and start accomplishing.

 

I think you're dreamin'.

 

Thank you, Aftershock, for allowing me to place my 'bang head here' template back in the briefcase!

I was considering a long and carefully reasoned post on:

A) the fact that most of trucking's problems are self-inflicted.

B) the government(s) get more than the evil oil companies from each gallon.

In fact, sir, the receiving end of Muley's anti-lizard stick was looking more appealing than said task!

Bbzzzzzzzzttttt!!! LOL

 

You mean this one ----------->

 

Close enough!

 

The elk are still trying to survive as they have for centuries.
Humans are the ones who keep encroaching on the wilderness!
Now who needs to adapt?

 

And the fact that they're still around
is testament to their adaptability.

Hmmmmmmmm ----
I'm guessin' the wilderness?
At least until global warming changes thangs.
Could be a whole new ball game after that.
Ya reckon.

 

People need to adapt in my opinion.

As for the global warming issue, it is not a natural event, impo.
Have you seen the weapon system in Alaska? If not you should see what they (gov) can do with the weather!

Well I haven't been here in a week - got caught up in a lot of work. Anyway, in the last week 2 local trucking companies have gone out of business (northeast Ohio). And the following news has been around:

1. China helps Cuba drill for oil 60 miles off the coast of Florida
2. The futures folks are only part of the problem; bigger problem is the Saudis gouging us and trying to control us;
3. Obama has no plan
4. Some Americans believe we should pay high gas prices

All this is stuff that is beyond my comprehension! And we should all just take it? It is time for a revolution of sorts!!!

I think they have and I think they'll continue to (adapt).

I keep readin' the debates.

IMPO, I think humans may have contributed to the warming, but I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't gonna happen sooner or later.

And even if Americans and like Nations, who are attempting to clean up our acts, get together, from what I understand, the "Developing Nations" aren't all that concerned about pollution. In the dictionary -- "pollution" comes before "power".

Which is part of the reason why many American companies relocate to those "developing nations."

That kinda stuff scares me.
Should I be afraid to look?
