    If its there now I really dough that it will last a while longer!
    They are pretty picky about what NEWS get posted.

    But yes thats Crazy to hear its posted there!

    Posted on our BROKERS SITES? oh SH&T!

    The general public MUST know that WE ALL do not WANT a strike!

    WE DONT! We do on the other hand want our FUEL PRICES to DROP and our freight rates to go up! These are not just my words...

    Shutting down our TRUCKS will not just hurt us! But if its our only and LAST resort we'll PARK,EM!

    Well I bet the unions wont be in it they will holler that they can not because of their contract.But when they strike they get mad if you cross the picket line.But if they would it would mean a lot more important frieght stopped and some of it would impact lots more big companies,manufactures.The trickle down effect.But the trickle would be faster.

    1 day or 1 week right now is not as important as the fact that we start something. We have to quit telling everyone it won't matter. It won't matter to anyone if we do nothing. Get on board with this and stop running down the road making the oil companies more profit. Stay home March 24th. April 1st stay home again, 1 day? 2 days? 3 days? Take action and let's get the word out!!

    just got out of the shop in Columbus and the manager brought up the idea of a shutdown, i ask him what he has heard and he said that 4 or 5 truckers have said the 24th, that is the date that I am seeing and hearing more and more.
    It looks like a large group are getting impatient, this is the loudest I have ever seen truckers yell the same thing, the odds of it happening appear to be in favor of it happining. All i can say is I hope it does for all of our well being

    After talking to my boss at the truck stop, we have decided to support the drivers. It will be hard on us too, but something has to give.:biggrin_2558:For the record, I just e-mailed a link to this string to all 4 of my local television stations News Tip lines...I recommend everybody else do the same thing if you want any attention paid...Good Luck..I stand behind you.
