The reason for truck drivers not showing up? The Puerto Rican Teamsters Union, Frente Amplio, is refusing to move the product. Report: Puerto Rico Teamsters Union, “Frente Amplio”, Refuse to Deliver Supplies – Use Hurricane Maria as Contract Leverage…
Puerto Rican born and raised, Colonel Michael A. Valle (”Torch”), Commander, 101st Air and Space Operations Group, and Director of the Joint Air Component Coordination Element, 1st Air Force, responsible for Hurricane Maria relief efforts, has the following comment:
…They have the generators, water, food, medicine, and fuel on the ground, yet the supplies are not moving across the island as quickly as they’re needed.
“It’s a lack of drivers for the transport trucks, the 18 wheelers. Supplies we have. Trucks we have. There are ships full of supplies, backed up in the ports, waiting to have a vehicle to unload into. However, only 20% of the truck drivers show up to work. These are private citizens in Puerto Rico, paid by companies that are contracted by the government”.. (link)

Yea - she’s POC-marked...lol
Screw the union goons. Send in the National Guard. THEY’ll distribute the stuff.

Fire them and bring in the military drivers....just nationalize the PR relief effort.
National Guard confiscates the trucks and drives them to deliver supplies. Think PATCO and Reagan.
if only they could get everyone to run to one edge of the island maybe it would just capsize
Time to pull a Truman and have the US military drive the trucks. Hurricane Maria as Contract Leverage -- thanks COUNTrecount.
a pill that size might work as a suppository for the mayor of san juan
