Money to BLM goes to ActBlue...goes to DNC...did he explain that?

When America is outlawed, only outlaws are Americans. :-)

In 2018, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic reported truck driving as the most deadly job in the country.

I thought it was catching crabs.

Might be of interest.

I was in Seattle last week. Planned my trip out to avoid I-5 as in the past (years ago?) the protestors would march on the interstate to draw attention to their cause.

My neighbor is a Trump fan truck driver and he said a few weeks ago that they were rerouting trucks.

I stand with the drivers 100%.
Community acts like morons, no TP for you!

[RetiredArmy]

OUTFREAKING STANDING!!

[discostu]

Really? Has anybody refused to deliver to Camden? Not buying this.

I’ve heard catching crabs is annoying - but not sure how deadly they are. :)

I am ‘allowed’ to be picky as it is and I have been using ‘why doesn’t the company want to use their own driver/equip to go to XXXXXX at 5 PM on a Fri’.

I have added the final ‘destination’ and last week I turned down a job to Charlottesville VA (Fri the eve of the DC ‘march’) using the logic of why do I want to be in a LIB ‘stronghold’ when the ‘natives (and not so native)are restless) and US 29 is a major route from ‘central NC’ to DC.

I am also VERY choosy on going out of state.

Not all that worried about myself etc but ‘worried’ over what I may be forced to do to ‘protect’ myself and figure not worth all the hassle.

They don’t refer to me as an ‘INDEPENDENT Contractor’ for nothing same as they have a reason for calling it ‘CONCEALED carry’

[SisterK]

The companies are not taking the risks. Not always the driver’s decision.

[Diogenesis]

there are already videos of these gangs robbing trains.

these truckers are correct.

[AndyJackson]

oops. This is awkward.

[jughandle]

Going to be sick to be a utility worker in those parts, especially for collections.

[spokeshave]

Maybe Uber and food delivery drivers should get the message,

[SisterK]

I’m not sure this is a good idea.
Seattle does not want fixing.

[rktman]

Works for me. Unless you live in a city where they get defunded. hmmmmmmm

[tennmountainman]

LOL. Hells Angels on their way to Chaz.
With chains, brass knuckles, tire tools, nail studded 2x4’s,
bats, and other odds and ends.
RAZ, the Chaz Warlord and his tribal hunta’s will be no match
for the Hells Angels and other Biker Groups.

Law of unintended consequences.

God bless our truck drivers.
