Dude when the expanded Panama opens I’ll believe Houston will boom even more. I’m so glad I moved here a decade ago. After last winter in the upper Midwest and New England, I’m sure many others will move here too. We’ve been booming for a while and I can’t see anything but.
The biggest concern I have with Texas is we need to out side of and independent of federal spending in this state is we need to focus on water and infrastructure. Granted we are growing like crazy but we are always behind in road expansion.
Weren’t there plans to start moving the offloading to Mexico and trucking it up through Texas?
Agree that road construction is lagging but I’m not sure that it is any different in
other states in that regard. It seems to me it takes much too long to build a few miles
of roadway even is the ROW is there.
When y'all get totally gridlocked, they'll raise taxes for cho-cho trains and 20,000 city buses, etc.
If these truckers are not employed by your company they should not be on your loading dock doing your employees work. If they were injured your insurance company would raise your rates for even allowing it and I’m sure the foreman in charge of that area would get reamed or even fired for allowing it.
Aside from you?
For what it’s worth, there’s an outside chance I may become a Teamster someday. So we can be friends.
That would be nice. Hopefully we’ll get right-to-work laws passed long before you’re forced to join a union that opposes your core principals.
