I wouldn’t get too excited about this. They’ll be lucky if they get 100 trucks.

Most drivers are driving someone elses truck on the company dime.

This is a repost of a suspicious article. These truckers are supposedly frustrated about working conditions, but are going to drive on Washington to protest Benghazi and Obama's crimes.

Weird.

I sent an email to my uncle about this and I’m waiting to hear back from him.

Personally I can’t see a serious truck driver even proposing such a thing. I have to wonder if its being set up by Obamabots as a means of creating a “right wing failure”.

We can dream...I hope it gets going strong.

For drivers, it’ll be tough—well, for O/Os, too, but things are getting very nasty and at least they’re attempting something.

If Jimmy Hoffa was still alive, he had the power of the teamsters to do a shut down....that was the reason Bob Kennedy went after the teamsters when Hoffa was in charge..An independent trucker took his life in his hands if he drove without being a teamster...if not his life, his truck would be torched and put him out of business after a beat down by members of the teamsters.. They were the most powerful union in the country....

Stop all deliverers into the Blue Cities for 3 days.

No food or energy from the Red states.

They will be fine.

Will stock up on everything I need (I hope). As painful as it might be, this country needs this type of wake up call. imagine if the oil companies decided to shut down for a week or two
