I don’t doubt there are unionized truckers. You were lucky by the way to have one of those dedicated routes. Sure beats sitting at a terminal waiting or a truck stop waiting days for a load. Just the same, I would say that the percentage of union long haul drivers is very low. But, why guess when we can know. Shall we look it up. We are both speaking from anecdotal information.
By the way, thanks for the job you did. I will always have an appreciation for truckers ever since the day our family got in distress along a highway and it was only a trucker that stopped to help.
You had a driver stop to assist you? Dayum! That’s contrary to what we as drivers were told: you NEVER stop to render any assistance, for two reasons: one, you’re not paid to help others, you’re paid to drive; and two, stopping opens you up to an ambush.
Looking things up is always good.
