J.B. would be more then happy to take your haul, as C.H. Robinson did our's. We need to find away to work together to protect what we have. And I'm just asking you to think about it.If everything else in our industry was right, would the big D. matter as much as it is now.Oh I agree it would matter but, Just think about it for awhile. our rates are dropping, and the F.S.C. is off. Check cost through out the Country and then the % we are given.

I'm up for suggestions on where to go from here. I just don't even know anymore Luna.

It these days if you didn't walk out on strike when you were told to walk you started looking for another job the next day.

Have you seen the TV ads putting down the Unions. Just how smart do you have to be to see the corporate carpetbaggers name on them.

And we keep breeding, and breeding, and breeding more and more weak minded dumbasses.

I emailed Bill O'Really? Oreilly@foxnews.com , and Cavuto Cavuto@foxnews.com Again today with the same message. Why aren't you talking about the Bakken Oil Field, the Deep Water Fields in the Gulf of Mexico, the New oil finds in California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nevada, and the dozens of other new fields in the Continental US. The oil slicks have hundreds of drilling sites they are not drilling in, but put moaning about Alaska.

The Dems gave an interview today with graphs showing all the leases that the oil slicks have but not drilling. Ten minute later the republicans are giving an interview say the Dems are stop the drilling in the U.S.

Go figure. If you look in "In The News" you will find Peter DeFazio's letter to me about what he knows to be fact about all the republican crap about needing more places to drill. Every one should read it.

You know something I damned tired of finding news items that could be used to bug the Lap-Dog wit and no one uses them. So I've gone back to using most of my research for myself. I have over 400 email addresses of people who want to know ..... they use the information to email to the Lap-dogs.

Someone here needs to stay in contact with Unions and other Truckers who are planning strikes and slowdowns to see how we can help.

I think we are making a dent when we all keep the flood of emails going to the Lap-dogs and the oil slicks. You can tell when they lie more and more, and try to avoid the issues when confronted with the truth.

Personally, I like to beat the crap out of a bunch of them.

If the trucks dont work we have no money.Will you pay our bills?

And he's bringing her home crippled, that means for the next 2 day's we will and I mean we, tear her down and try to get it back up to load Sunday.Do you eat, drink anything but what you grow, When you take a dump, u dont use t.p.Who do you thinks del. all these things...................................
Do you live in a house have power watch T.V. Do you drive a car? talk about breeding buddy u better look in the mirror.
These driver's have homes and family.
It's bad enough they are gone for weeks at a time but for someone like you to have the nerve to tell them they need to grow some and your still waiting.

The key word on each and every artical UNION.In each and every country.

They are one's in this country you need to focus on.
By right when the teamsters called a strike in europe, the brotherhood of teamsters should have honored it here. But they did'nt.

Find out why?
Let them know how you feel about them.
Hoffa Jr's office wont accept e-mail's.
But other one's will. They wont respond.

Maybe one day but I doubt it you will understand.For someone who fight's the Gov.as much as you do,How can you not see the what it is?

As a matter of point everyone should put there focus on the union.
the teamsters are as much a blame at this point as the Gov.

Complete bullshit!!!! The independants run the show here in the U.S.! The are the overwhelming majority of trucks on the roads. They just need to stick together!
P.S. If your husband is having to run as hard as you say just to make ends meet,you better break out the grease gun and grease up the bearings on his squirrel wheel!

The sad but true fact is, Your Government runs the Teamsters Union. Way back when Frank Fitzsimmons took over as Pres. of the Teamsters, he sold the Union out to the government and the gov. has been controlling what the Teamsters do ever since. Why do you think you don't see any major Teamster Strikes anymore. The Union officials know that they better not call a major strike, or answer to the gov.. Jimmy Hoffa Sr. got into bed with the Mafia. Frank Fitzsimmons got into bed with the government and sold out every teamster member in the country when he did it. I agree with you luna, if you can get the teamsters to call a strike or a shutdown, we will have the country by the balls. I seriously don't see that ever happening, if for no other reason than what I have said above. I believe the only way that will ever happen is if the membership itself pulls a Wildcat Strike on their own going against their leadership. That will be a total surprise to me. The only other way of shutting them down is if we do it by blockading them all across the country. That would be a huge undertaking, but with total unity it is possible.

Don't give me that bullshit "you have to eat"! How far will you bend over and kiss ass for a loaf of bread? Grow some balls is the correct term and I am not hiding behind a computer screen, I have been shutdown and have refused to pay taxes to these corrupt bastards since 2005! Thank you Bandit and Greyfoxx for recognizing what a true American Trucker should represent!

Your shut down, how do you eat, feed your family make your house payment
and if it's paid for pay your property tax's. How do you keep your elec. pay for your phone computer line.
So you don't pay your tax's big deal.
That's really growing some.
What else are you doing?
Who are you living off of?
because if your not working, How far are you bending over for a loaf of bread.
Give me a break...........................
someone is paying those bills or your living off of someone........................

Did I say I don't work?
There are other ways of making money than driving a truck! My truck sits and will sit until this shit is straightened out. Dont think for a minute I draw a dime from the gov. or live off anyone! I have been a surviver for a very long time and have done without before. I will do what I need to do but I will not continue hauling while my fellow truckers sit in protest!
This is whats wrong with this country! As long as "I" am making it,,, piss on everyone else! Or as long as their not after me, to hell with the guy next door! Well that mindset is gonna come back and bite yoou in the ass! SOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As per your 2nd post, do the math, the Indep, are out numbered 4 to1.
the shut down has been over for more then a month, those who are still shut down, are parked.
If you really belive what you have posted ,
you need to get your grease gun out, put some air to it and teach your old lady how to use it, because you really do need it.....
now I am done talking with you.
some people have real live's other's just sit around and throw B.S.

I believe you owe the lady and her husband an apology. They are hardworking independants who are trying desperately to save their business and livelyhood just like the rest of us. As hard as she has worked here to help with everything we have tried to do I think those remarks were totally uncalled for.

What the hell happened here?

I have been extremely ill, too ill to monitor this site at all (thanks to salmonella), and I check in to see this BS? The whole idea of this part of the forum was to have a place for those who wanted to "make a difference". Now it is turning into threads filled with nonsense bullshit like this.

Greyfoxx, if the only reason you are hanging around here is to see if truckers will grow a pair, then haul your ass on to another forum. All you have done here is run your mouth, copy/past links, and post bullshit you have sent to people that could care less who the hell you are. The only things important or correct here in your eyes are things that you post.

Freightmaster, if you can't learn to show a little respect for people in here, you can jump on the same train as Foxx. Nobody needs you here acting like a friggin idiot.

As for everyone else, convince me that having a "trucking industry issues" forum is a good idea. Because walking into a thread like this leaves me with doubts.

Goodnight, and this thread is closed. Most of this shit will be deleted soon enough, but not tonight.
