[Do the math]

Most big cities only have a two day supply of food. If enough truckers went on strike the impact would be felt quickly. A strike would be great. Obama wouldn't know what to do.

I read on here somewhere few years back, the reasons trucks to not take part in shut downs, if the rig is there they cannot afford it and if Company owned they will lose their jobs.?? Have no idea if true, but does make sense.

Climate change is a scam intended to reduce America (and other leading industrialized nations) to third world status.

Maybe our truckers will be the salvation for us all against this madness if they decide to do a rolling protest.

it’s a tax which is not OFFICIALLY a tax.

It would cost $$, but wouldn’t it be fun if only a few large trucking companies routed all of the 95 truck traffic through the center of DC?

[mountn man]

Well, that is something I honestly expect to happen.

President Trump will take care of business (i.e., end the “Climate Change scam the Ophonybama administration insists on foisting on America!), and put the EPA back into its closet.

Since I was a truck driver for 5 years, I hated the Mexicans that thought they could shut us down...

Their trucks are very unsafe, and when we would check into a ‘chicken coop’ we would hear stories that half of them didn’t have CDLs and some of the trucks didn’t even have insurance on them, and they were dirty and the drivers were worse...

US Trucking is the safest there is, we have a lot of laws to abide by and the companies that we drive for do obey the laws and so do the independent owners, and IOs hated Mexican drivers worse than we Company drivers did...

my Freightliner has been in the shop 6 times in the last 3 months over the DEF piss burner. The whole DEF is a scam.

He has to win it first.

digger48 :" Every stinkin’ time the EPA hits diesel engines, the cost of that machine goes up 10-20% with no increase in production or fuel savings.
The owners can’t just charge more for doing the same amount work."

The EPA , making us more like Venezuela each day
Slowly choking off the life blood that makes America great
Until manufacturers can no longer afford to get their product to market
and create instant lay-offs to create more "people in need"(DemoRats)
for "freebies" and government dependance !.

Piss off the Truckers ,Barry.

My Fishing buddy recently retired bought a new Diesel ... it was in the shop more than not.. DEF problems, he did the Lemon thing, got another same problems.

He is driving a Gas Hemi now

[WENDLE]

STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE TRUCKERS!! There is no measurable global warming! None ZERO IT IS A LIE!!

[vpintheak]

Oh, just like the elite ruling class in any turd-world dictatorship or communist hell-hole; he will get his good stuff. The rest of us are screwed though.

[TalBlack]

The problem with citizen journalists is they cannot write for shit.

Man, PREACH IT! Drives me crazy.

One of our ambulances was coming back from a call and the message center flashed up a message (pull over?) and the engine shut down immediately. No way it would start again until the dealer got done.

Thank God there was not a critical patient in the back.

I keep asking the powers that be why we are not buying used trucks and refurbing them instead of new.

Ford seems to get their shorts in a wad every few years regarding emergency vehicles and make a bunch of rash decisions.

Wonder who will back down this time? Several years (2010?)the engine manufacturers all said they were pulling out of the emergency market because the EPA demanded they re-certify the entire vehicle because the frame was 1/4” longer or whatever than what it was certified for. It is rare to see 2 identical fire trucks unless it is for a big city.

It's now gotten worse. Nearly every Mexican truck driver I pass is swerving and driving 10 mph under the speed limit as he's texting with both hands on the interstate.
