STOP making deliveries in DC, Maryland, Virginia,...
This is all about tyranny, absolutely ridiculous why truckers would need a vaccine as most work by themselves. Remember when Trump was in office and all the times he was called a dictator, a tyrant? And he did nothing like this. I swear on my mother, if Trump runs in 2024 and he wins and the left starts in with this tyrant, dictator crap again, I’m going to jail for assault.
Stop making food deliveries in the blue areas, to the 38% who approve of the job Biden is doing
Who likes to be forced to do stuff you don’t want to do?”
Not enough understand the above comment.
One of my sons is a young trucker. He runs flatbed semis for a lumberyard. He’s got the most important job in the family. He helps keep hundreds of men employed.
He’s not planning to get the vax.
That would be a great educational opportunity:
“70 percent of American freight goes by truck.”
And they are constantly harassed like hell, constantly harassed by weigh stations, constant harassed by on the spot inspections with only purpose: To take their money. Imagine being mandated to have your car inspected several times a week by having a cop pull you over or being forced to pull into a weigh station.
Not to mention a great deal of these truckers are paid by the mile so can you imagine being stuck in traffic for hours and you are getting paid .40 cents a mile? “Wow I made 80 cents this past hour” And then the massive regulations, all the taxes that have to be paid across state lines, the constant recording of where you are, and then the Al Gore DEF scam where you have to constantly buy DEF fluid that mixes with the diesel to supposedly reduce carbon emissions. Yeah right. How much is Gore invested in that? Another mandate
I recall the Trucker protests in the late 70s. If there’s one group of workers in the USA you don’t screw with it is truckers.
If I was running a warehouse, I would certainly let truckers use the bathroom, for heaven’s sake!
They'll assign them the task of shooting anyone who refuses to work, or doesn't work at a fast-enough pace.
The thing with Commies is they know not when to stop, so they keep stretching the wire til it snaps. He’s now pissed off American parents, Americans generally, including blacks, the military, the pilots, the medical providers, and now the truckers. I’d say something is about to break in our favor.
“On the road, some died alone of COVID-19.”
Uh huh.
Like they worried about people’s grandparents dying alone after being imprisoned in nursing homes while their frantic families were screaming through their windows that they loved them.
I was thinking last month, mass starvation could happen very very quickly.
Imagine this: The media announces food shortages are coming. The same day that is announced people would clean out grocery stores, everything would be gone. The elderly, the disabled, and those who were late would be screwed. Whatever they have left in their fridge is what they would have to live on.
Well what if there are no food deliveries for several weeks? Those people would be in a heap of trouble, they would start starving. Imagine major cities like NYC where there is close to 9 million people. Quite a few would die, people with weak hearts, who can’t withstand starving for a few weeks. The sh— would utterly hit the fan.
This is what Biden is playing with when he goes after truckers.
That’s right. If truckers go on strike, it’s lights out, America.
............what’s here now on the subject of trucking is higher rates. Fewer drivers mean fewer trucks which means higher demand for trucking which means trucking companies want more money.
I drove from Central Texas to Tampa, Florida last week and back to pick up some materials I needed. The cheapest trucking price was $2,800.00 one way.
These White House/Congressional marxist’s are happy with all these problems. When fuel hits ten dollars they will be happy, momentarily.
Good point! I pray for it to happen.
WAKE UP AMERICA! While there still IS an America.
I remember a flood in Ames Iowa a few years ago. power out and city water would.
There were near riots at the free water distribution sites.
It doesn’t take long.
Solution is quite simple. Someone has mentioned it before, just quit delivering to Blue cities. I’m on the road on a personal trip. There are a lot of truckers out there, but I didn’t see much movement at the port of Long Beach and Los Angeles, I wonder why? How does outlawing Independent drivers work out for the rest of the country(California AB 5)?
While on the mainland away from home I’m at the risk of being stranded, so I am looking forward to crawling into to my rural Hawaiian Hobby Farm, and then I’ll be far better off. You guys “counted the votes as you saw fit and made your choice win. I hope you like the results. No food, high energy prices, lowered availability of goods, expensive housing, and an abundance of inflation. Welcome to the Democrat party’s worker paradise! At least the government is getting bigger and becoming more woke!
