before striking, why not try growing home made veggies and natural born food and being self sufficient to feed others to make it for the 3 days. Exxon and other companies will be begging for people to buy fuel. the Speculators will feel the overages of the artificial price increase. Along with indictments plus imprisonment. Face it. Its going to happen.
I was an O/O up until 2002. Got out of it cause I was earning the same as a company driver. 9/11 did it man, from that point on. How the fuck have you guys made it through to 2008.
YOU NEED TO BLOCK MAJOR ARTERIES AND STOP A WHOLE CITY, this will get your message across.
DRIVE 5MPH FOR AN HOUR WITH TRUCKS IN EVERY LANE IN MAJOR CITIES. There is nothing worse than stopping people's money.
I just book load for $5100 Dryload Seattle,WA to Boston,MA with CH ROBINSON 15 min past they called in saying that they found some one who can do it for $4700. If you guys getting free fuel please let me know where? couse I'm not.
This is what we need in ENGLAND. we need every trucker off the road, from seven and a half tonne vehicles to artics, for one week.that would bring this country to its knees.The goverment would have to bring fuel down. that is THE ONLY WAY to sort out the fuel problem.
its not gone work i did the 1st strike guess I seen all the trucks on the road it was a few that stayed. In America there is no infostruture with in among the people that they plan divide and conquer Fuck Bush and all those WORMs they killing the dollar to form the NAU just like a body trucks are bloodcells if bloodcells cant move threw the body the body stops heart attack coming soon to America when this is over our living standard will be the same as Mexico hello Amerio
Listen up! Whoever is stupid enough to say that strike wont work must be a company driver well paid that want have a fucking paycheck
I'm sick of this shit i can't even afford to buy food, what the fuck i am going to do when the bank is repossessing my truck huh? drugs dealers are relaxing and spending money like water, i stay on the road for three weeks and bring home enough to pay the mortgage but not my son's school and when i can't buy food what the fuck you wnat me to tell mykidsdonteat?
Striking wont work on this hot topic. If it was union and you're being paid to strike that one thing, however not moving loads regardless of the cost means NO money. Most owner operators can't afford a strike. Unfortunately the top chief of our nation needs to apply pressure to reduce our fuel costs. Striking in this industry in these hard economic times won't change anything.
Though the cost of living is substantially less there, I am still stunned. We are being "gouged" ( in other words... FUCKED )
AND its been like that no matter WHO sits in the White House. Unfortunately, WE pay for increases in diesel, taxes, etc, big business doesnt, they just pass along the increases 2 us.
Also, they need 2 secure the border. Our government OUR PUBLIC SERVENTS resist... (the "inconvenient truth")
those assholes along with big business sit around the table looking at spread sheets analyzing PROFITS, knowing all along that Illegals AND legals bring in huge profits. You wont find that scum living amongst THEM, they live amongst US. I sold my truck since I cant compete with dropping rates and fuel costs. ALL of gov't are cheating lying bastards that dont give a fuck about U or Me.
oh god people in egypt we call them third world they start this already since 1995and they did run ther Vehicles and buss on natural gas and we here in america in 2008 we want to lead the world & still america did not figure out how to make this happened why ??!! is this is how far america get behind the world ??!! i'm shocked totally shocked
The real killer to trucking is word backhual.If you backhaul cheap to pay for your fuel,what happens to the trucker on the other end who depended on that hual to pay good to make his payments and pay his bills.We have got by using cheap backhuals to pay for fuel,but never again if it dont pay enough for round trip let it lay and rot on their dock!!!Stick together and turn the key off.Digging a deeper hole wont get out of debt.
The Nafta Super Highway is called the NASCO corridor look it up . this is a plan to kill american truckers with inflated diesel prices and replace you with mexican driver...protest again and park on the hyw and block the traffic...shut em down...and stop mexican truckers
I support you guys 100% your under paid and under appreciated.passitkitdotcom has it spot on.Big business wants to hire mexicans and get rid of the unions. Republicans are just as much to blame. NAFTA is a scam. If american businessmen want to move their companies over the border or overseas they should be forced to live there as well and take all our so called leaders with them.
I don't think we have any other way of asking for a rise. My salary just went DOWN about 10-15 %.( in 2 mo) Why should I suppose to take this money from my kids? When they only see me every other week for 2 days??? Now day's company drivers make more money with no risk or headache at all.
Are they striking because they are bad businessman and don't know how to raise their rates? What other industry is stupid enough to work for free or at a loss. Work 100 hours, log 70 and lucky if you are paid for 50 or 60.
They alt energy for 50 years,its just the control the big oil has will not let go of their greed and power.Its all about greed.They buy out the cutting edge energy,until ppl quit selling out we will never beat them
I as a american citizen will no longer use oil transportation. No more, I will not stand for a poorer quality of life! God gave me two feet for a reason, I'll use them, and use them to protest. I am a young adult from Washington that is ready "to put the hammer down". Anyone out there ready to get rowdy?!?!
Everyone had it coming! They don't respect the truckers they don't get any goods. But the others who resepct them and agree the prices are too high don't get any supplies either!
Today strike? Just small amount of trucks striking. Get ready for BIG ONE APRIL 28-30
If I see any trucker moving freight i Will personally cut him off the road. Today was more like testing our grounds.(which was horrible) I have trucks all over US report that most of the truck still run. WE NEED COME TOGETHER on this issue to get results.
The bastards are pumping it out of Iraq while our troops gard the oil wells. Then they sell the oil (that they stold) to us citizens at a premium price. Can't wait till both crooks are out of office. Our country has went for a hell of a ride for the last 7 years !!1
I support you guys!! Time to send a message to the heads of the oil companies who rub it in our faces EVERY freaking year the they made "record profits"!!! 50 billion here, 45 billion there!!! Shit, where do you think that's coming from!!??! US, FAMILIES, TRUCKERS, EVERYONE!!!! PARK AND MAKE A POINT!!!
fuel prices are just part of the problem... mexicans and anything else that crawls across the border are driving the rates down. cant compete with that bullshit. SECURE THE FUCKIN BORDER.
This is a very good thing you guys are doing i work with independent truckers all day at one of the leading container terminal in florida and we are union as well i just wish all of corporate america would not go to work and shut all of america down for a couple of days i know everyone must have a couple of days vacation time built up to afford this plus it cost money to go to work anyway. good job guys keep going i support everything you do.
Ladies and gentlemen. I know that you may fear that if you strike, you will LOSE EVERYTHING, Well, I am here to tell you that if you don't strike, you are going to LOSE EVERYTHING anyway. Our operating cost have SOARED and our earnings have NOT. Exxon/Mobil reported 1st quarter profits of $11.7 BILLION Something is definitely WRONG with this picture. TIME TO STAND UP
As a company driver I do not fork the bucks out of my pocket at the fuel pumps for fuel! I do it every time I purchase a product, service, utility or look at the levies on the ballot wanting more taxes to pay for school bus fuel, police fuel, utility company fuel and the list goes on, WE ALL DO! The bottom line is in today's economy we are at a point where if consumers can not buy a product we will have nothing to haul.
IT'S ON!!!! fox news today had a news segment about the strike let's do it I am shutting down because I can't afford it any more $1275.00 to fill my tank now. and fuel surcharge just ain't working anymore. and they are raising the fuel tax $.10 per gal and adding 70% to the cost of our CDLs...
and tolls are also going up..that is double taxation------
I just spend my Sunday passing this message on all local truck stops. Feedback I'm getting is unbelievable. So far looks like everyone is ready to strike for survival.
I think we all should participate with the truckers and not buy any gas either. Park the car, share rides with friends and spit the cost. Turn off the gas heat, turn on the oven and flip open the door or throw a log in the fireplace. It all comes back to the same question, will they control us or will we take control of our own lives and destiny?
To everyone else, do what you can to help! Know a trucker or their family? Invite them to dinner, drop of a secret gift basket with supplies or cash.
What they do to one group of us, they do to all of us!
shut them the fuck down guys ...im tired of seeing my pops suffer in his truck cuzz of this bullshit prices...cant even afford the fucking i.r.s. and then what ??? he goes to jail???
Ya change those dates and lets see it happen. Fuck these arabs, and our government is sitting back watching the backbone of our country get punished with $4+ / gallon. I have a 7.3 diesel pickup and it cost me $165 to fill up. God have mercy on you guys, it probably cost you 5-10x more,
before striking, why not try growing home made veggies and natural born food and being self sufficient to feed others to make it for the 3 days. Exxon and other companies will be begging for people to buy fuel. the Speculators will feel the overages of the artificial price increase. Along with indictments plus imprisonment. Face it.
