    I propose next year 2013 the week of drivers appreciation week, this will give it enough time to get around the internet, new, radio stations.

    I suggest you print millions of flyers. I also propose millions of drivers grow a set or is that a
    DealBreaker?

    If drivers grew a set and said no to abusive dispatchers and low wages there wouldn't be a problem . The whiners crying for a strike haven't done that .
    Driver abuse is self abuse . The carriers can only do to you what you allow them to do .

    Can we allow to talk about politic?
    Can we join one party supporting us?
    Just question..
    I understood why union is not allowed.
    But why I can not talk about my party?
    can anybody explain? Can or can not.

    There is a special Politics forum, where you can talk as much as you want..
    http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/politics/

    It requires the password thickskin. You'd better have thickskin too. It gets rude and crude in there.

    You do not understand you strike against the system when you are an O/O not yourself.
    All drivers can do it regardless of status.

    Guys the best date to do so is Feb 14th it would mean a lot to so many, it was the late Hoffla's birthday. Just 15 minutes is all. Then if it don't bring em to the table we act a fool and stage a bigger one for a longer time in August right at the start of Drivers appreciation week and for a whole week.
    We must plan plan plan plan plan spread the word by fliers by C.B.
    Demand more money and take our industry back from the CEO's!
    Its not so much the government that is doing us in its the people that many of us work for and yes there reach is far and wide and the effect even the independants too with their bribes to our elected officials!

    You guys talking about striking have got to make up your mind ... is this strike going to be for truck drivers in general, union drivers, or non-union drivers. because it makes a huge difference on how it's word needs to be spread, and how it's word will be accepted. What's good for unions is not good for non-union drivers and vice-versa. The sooner you begin to understand this, the sooner you can begin to make real plans.

    that said, NO organized strike by non-union drivers will ever happen (that is meaningful and effective) in today's trucking world and reality. I am doing my part as a well experienced driver with an impeccable safety and performance record have "retired from trucking early" due to the BS that is here and is coming. Yes, there are plenty more who have and will take my place, I understand that. However, I am now living free and free of never-ending BS that must be accepted and dealt with and they can take there new HOS regs and other BS and shove them up someone else's butt.
