This will spread. More and more "going dark" days will be called for.
Did anyone notice the "dark" web pages on 9-11?
A disturbance in the force, there is.......

3. "Truckers To Shut Down America: This strike is against corruption, Amnesty, Obamacare, Benghazi,
Seal Team 6, IRS, Non Americans in government office like Homeland Security, fuel, and anything else you can think of. This country will soon be torn apart terrorism so you won't have to worry about going to work."
Jeez, you guys, why not use that power to agitate for better hours and wages? Instead of, you know, blargle?

Go ahead, fools. The rest of us will appreciate any extra space on the interstates. No one else is going to notice.

How about, you know, doing something to lower the price of diesel? Maybe drill a little here, pipe a little there?
Assbag.

There go the DUchebags showing to the world that they think they are very, very smart.

Nationwide truckers strike, nothing moves, no food, no gas, no thing for a month = lot of dead DUmmies and a better Amertica.

39. amd sometmes I post things for the same reason You're stupid?? Ya, that's it.
on the threory that it would be pretty bland if only one side of information was allowed to be posted.
why...in fact....that would be almost like...censorship.
-
Just libs allowing their natural instincts to kick in before getting the whole story. These morons spent so many years telling themselves they were the under dogs and pretending to be revolutionaries that they have no idea how to handle it now that they are the ones being pushed back against.

This is funny....they were for it, before they were against it. :lmao:

Yes, this explains why they think Kerry is so smart.
I listened to the Jug Earred **** this morning and when he says "As I have always maintained/said" you know an epic lie is about to come out of his purple lips.

These mouthbreathers don't seem to realize truckers get paid per mile. Driver pay is a small slice of the pie when it comes to running a company or being an owner-operator. $300/day for one truck is small potatoes... some of those people are paying up to $1000 a day to keep a single truck fueled and on the road.
-
Yea the TRUE truckers (haulers) have it bad when the price goes up...my post was tongue in cheek about my pocketbook. I don't need the break like they do I get 40+MPH.
-
Most semi trucks get about 7 miles to the gallon and even at $3.50 a gallon, that's 50 cent per mile for fuel. Then you have to pay a driver, pay insurance, pay road use tax, license tags, tires, pay for truck....on and on and on it goes.... then you have the DUmmies wanting more of your money.....sheeeesh, just give up and push a DUmmie off his gummint tit and take it from him/her/it.

Man...that thread was ripped straight from the front page of the newspaper...
The Sunday comics section, featuring Peanuts on Page 1, and for an episode involving Charlie Brown, Lucille van Pelt, and a football, that is!

Do all truckers join the Teamster's union?
They shut down deliveries to grocery stores here for four months. It was brutal.

If any of the drivers I dealt with were union members, they never mentioned it.
Usually, Teamsters/UAW/IBEW goons are so ate up with jealousy and envy they can't wait to tell you about their union and how wonderful it is. I never heard a peep for two years.

And would not affect me in the slightest. City (D)Ullards? Bwaaahahahahaha.....
I can have two months supply of perishables on hand in about an hour. I'll make a second trip for beer. I can cut driving down, a minimum, of 50%.
Eat me, you stupid dependent little retards.

Same here. All that I personally know are independent.

Yep. 15 years ago it cost an owner/operator about $1 an mile to properly upkeep, lease and fuel his tractor. I can't imagine what it would be now. I do know of some farmers that ended up in the trucking business taking contracts for about 85 cents a mile and somehow they were still able to pay the drivers an hourly wage, but they did not stay in business long.

97. The only trucker I know well literally can't wait for Obamacare to kick in
He's got cancer, five children (including a newborn), and no employer-provided health coverage.
OK, he may now purchase a policy for about $75,000 per year. What a relief!
Psst DUmmie, pre-existing only applies to kiddoes now, the adult part ran out of money.

The gummint take is the same regardless of what a gallon of diesel sells for at the pump. They're not hurting.

It depends...I am pretty sure in NY at least the sales tax is calculated last as a percent so the higher the base the more overall revenue they collect.

Beat me to it Carl. Here in Kalifornia they get the new and improved sales tax put on every bit of fuel sales. It is in the states interest to keep fuel high even if it means they lose businesses and productive people to other states and nations. They be smarterer then uss nukle dragerz.

I tried looking up the specifics of it for NY and what a confusing way of calculating it.
No surprise it is a nightmare of exclusions of excise taxes so it does not end up being a tax on a tax but ultimately the base at a higher figure generates more dollars for the state/county.

MAssachusetts has you all beat. Recently passed legislation increased the fuel tax and tied it to inflation for automatic perpetual increases. No need for future legislators to go on the record with their vote to increase gas taxes. Yippppeeee. :argh:

They learned from their betters....the US congress....they get automatic raises....to not get a raise they have to vote not to take it.

I was curious, and nadined it.
There are about a million Teamsters, including truckers plus a swarm of other small occupations where Teamster tentacles have penetrated.
There are about three-and-a-half million truckers in America.
