Back in the day (early 60s), before I went into the military, I was a non-union driver. I still have a scar on my forehead gained from a union, non-union confrontation at a truck stop. The union drivers kept telling us that we were fools for not joining the union
yet, we were making twice the wages they were. And, because we were non-union, union dues were not taken from our paychecks. Fools they.

You were lucky. I distinctly remember some non-union truckers who were shot to death from overpasses. One, in particular, was hauling a load of dynamite -- and the shot set off the load.
Nothing but a crater left on I-44.

I used to listen to the CB religiously when I traveled. I can remember in the 80’s and 90’s that when I was up north I would constantly hear the union drivers constantly harassing the non union drivers over the CB. Schneider drivers were always a big target back then. Look how big Schneider is now.

These idiots sounds like Eastern Airlines union goons. The company kepy sinking further and further. It finally died. The idiots were still down in Miami on the picet like 4 years after it was dead. I guess they got a few bucks a day for walking the line for the union.
