I've heard rumors even on trucking radio, but this seems to be talking about owner operators, which make up a significant chunk of truckers. I'm a company driver. I havent heard anything about a strike from fellow truckers or any kind of that talk on the CB at truck stops, but the way things are going i wont be surprised. Those owner operators have the most to lose! If they were working like me(sitting in the middle of nowhere with no load for 3 days!) they will lose a shitload of money. Thse guys make anywhere from 1200 to like 3000 a week or maybe even more (after expenses man!).
If this does happen, then it might cause the major companies to do something as well, cos OO's are their bloodline (My company, the largest in the US (or one of them), takes care of OO's first before they take care of poor me). I'm sure that essential stuff like medical supplies and maybe hazmat stuff will keep on moving. But it is scary stuff the US needs to keep goods moving!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Skinner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 9:05 AM Subject: Can our contact inside the Trucking Community comment? > http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/strike.asp > > > > -------------- > Ian Skinner > Web Programmer > BloodSource > www.BloodSource.org > Sacramento, CA > > "C code.
