If it's anything less than a crippling strike it'll be 100% ineffective.
This needs to bring down systems, and bring civilization on the fucking brink.
Take a page from the Argentineans. And we know they don't take shit from nobody.
But I suspect the truckers won't have the backbone to pull this one off.

The strike is just for one day. The writer's strike was for half a year. It must not be serious for the truckers. Quoting: mrsnacks 403002
Are you fucking stupid? What does the "writer's strike" have to do with your life specifically? Can you not eat for two weeks.

Yes, but his point is that the writers nerves are tougher than the truckers.
We will know April 2nd (well really night time on the 1st) when everyone carries on business as usual.
If the truckers were real, they would barricade borders & ports keeping out illegals & communist (chinese) goods.
But the wont.

I know for a fact that 3 days turns Miami into something out of MadMax.
I bet they won't block I75 & I95. That's all it would take.

This group just dont understand much..... The trucking companies are not striking they could care less how much fuel cost they just raise the hauling price and pass it on to the stores who purchase... this is only truckers who work for themselves and that will not hurt in any way.. believe me i know. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 401136

I am from Colorado and I to have heard about the truckers strike. They did it in the 70's and got things done. More power to them. Without truck drivers America stands still and the oil kingdom and government pay attention. I support them 100%. |

I remember the strikes of the 70's, and they made a lot of difference. The issues at the time were very similar, but not as extreme. The more ways we can take dollars from the oil cartels, the better off we will be.
GOOD LUCK ! You have a lot of support. |

We are preparing for the first week in April. Jest all you would like about it.
If nothing happens, then we are ready for the unexpected weather that can come in April.
If it is real, we will sit on the sidelines and see how the rest of you jesters go through the week without truckers. Quoting: GraftedPromise U$ofA 402936
Fact is that if fuel stay where they are all these smartmouthed folks will be shut down too.Reality is im an owner-operator who is shutting down for however long it takes.Even the company drivers should do it for the simple fact that milk is now 5 bucs a gallon,gas 3.50 a gallon.bread 2.50 a loaf.Your money is shrinking smaller and smaller.Our country is headed for disaster
if the oil man dont get out of the whitehouse soon enough.

What some of you people who are putting down this strike don't understand is without the truckers you don't get food clothes or inything else you use to make your life better!!! I think that more people need to relise this and stand up against the government and these fuel prices |

ive been an o/o for 15 yrs. anybody with any sense know the trucking industry controls the u.s. if we could stand together we could make things better for everyone not just truckers. drivers control the trucks not the companies. the company driver for the most part doesnt care they dont pay for fuel and are mindless that the prices affect them in other ways. everyday there are more home forclosers car repos and people trying to sell befor they lose it. lets face it it all stems from fuel prices and gas for those of you that dont understand. there are so many people that have no respect for truck drivers and what they do so why do we pay the high prices so these idiots can have what they need daily? for those of you that call us stupid and cuss us if we can ever stand together you will see where your bread is butterd... walk a week in my shoes see what life is all about |

Well you boys go ahead and STRIKE.
But in the end - it will hurt no one but the little guys. (that's the rest of us)
Really, what do you hope to accomplish??
Do you really think you will force big oil to reduce your diesel prices?
Won't happen.
At best, you will just get yet another government handout to help pay your fuel costs.
Just what this country needs - more handouts. |

If strike happens for any length of time....
1. No food/drinks on the store shelves.
2. No gasoline to fill the gasoline stations' tanks.
3. Gov't will step in and demand they come back to work, or they will bring in Mexican truckers.
Oh wait, they already paved the way to allow foreigners to drive in our Country.
Good luck guys. I'm filling up my gas tank on Monday, just in case....
You have my support. |

Anyone here in the Savannah, GA. area?
Might be if great interest to go check this out.
[link to hardtimetrucker.proboards52.com]
There is a container trucker meeting in Savannah,Georgia out at the Quail Run Lodge at 6:00PM on Monday March 31st, 2008. All truckers are invited to attend this meeting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From talk around Southeast Georgia and the low country of South Carolina there is going to be a large angry crowd of truckers on Monday night at this meeting.
The TV media will also be there after dropping the story on CBS Friday evening about drivers taking action next week in the Southeast everywhere including the ports and rail yards. |

Lol, I hear ya, BMT! THAT would be a challenge. The last time, a few months ago, the DC cops were prepared ahead of time; wouldn't let trucks get on the beltway or whatever it is, unless they were coming in to deliver freight.
You DO know government and big corps sometimes are in bed with each other, right? |

I own a trucking company and we are shutting down. For those of you who think 1 day won't do anything
you are ignorant. It takes one full truckload of milk every 30minutes 24/7 just to keep the schools in NYC supplied with milk. The country will be crippled if shut down for one day. Look up the truck strike in Italy in 2005. Diesel is cheaper to refine than gas yet it is higher with no reasoning and honest hard working business owners have had enough. |
