Trucker Strike - *NEW* 4/12/19 ???

Woohhh! I supported the idea, but I did not know and still I don’t know who are the guys who started this “revolution “ but seems like this guys is plain ignorant and bully. This guy DOESN’T have any idea how and can’t communicate his ideas , if he has one , like a normal person, so he flips people off just because people don’t agree with him ? Sorry, but I can’t support morons .

 

Well I sure did support the strike. Got home on Tuesday the 9th and didn't feel like working. Was kind of a slow week anyway. Perhaps I will get back at it next week, haven't decided yet. May just stay parked in protest until after Easter then work like mad again.

When is the next one?

lol...

 

I go on strike multiple times a month whenever I don’t have a load. #GreenBacksMatter

 

Me too. So far I run 2700 miles in April . I will stay put till I get pay the rate I want and go to the place I want . I had a couple good rate offers, to go up east through Wyoming Nebraska on I 80 . I said NOPE!!

 

That is the beauty of being independent Right ?

 

Oh that is rich!

 

Partly. Maybe 50%. The other half can be directly attributed to good money management. I do not live needing to make a huge week, every week. I can afford to take a week or 3 off here and there.

 

Didn't get the memo.

Hah! Just checked my logs. I *did* participate! (Sort of) I had a night delivery the day before, I was unloaded between 9-11 and had a 2 hour drive back to the shop (unloaded) since this client's PM deliveries have been playing havoc with scheduling, and my logs, I was told I couldn't come in until 2-3 and there wasn't much I could do at that point (sweep the warehouse, park some trailers, 'make' work.) I said it wasn't worth my time to come in for 2-3 hours and do physical labor. I'd rather stay home. I've worked enough 6 days weeks lately, I could use an extra day off.

So yup, totally supported that strike. Yup.
