It begans.... Truckers To Shut Down America
"a major shut down of America in a 3 day strike October 11th thru 13th."

apparently a 3 day convoy to DC.
Remember when this happened in other countries???

Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/truckerstoshutdownamerica?ref=stream

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.......

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
