Hey everyone!
is there truth to the rumors about the truckers strike on 8/31 in the US? You all are the backbone of our economy and I support you and your strike. Just curious how long this may last.

Not that I’m aware of. Only way there would be a strike is if Joe pushes the vaccine on interstate drivers. Which reminds me, maybe that’s what your hearing about in Australia?

Since the strikes against low rates and emissions making people go broke were so successful, I see another win with this strike as well.

As soon as someone cuts me a check for $315,000, my trucks will stop for a day for solidarity of those in Aussie land

You might think that those protests in Washington DC in April/May 2020 were very effective. Look at the rates now. Has anybody thanked the protesters yet?
Thank you Protesters! -
Problem with getting truckers to coordinate and organize enough to do anything like that is basically, if you get 3 truckers together, you'll get 4 different opinions on anything. As an occupation, mindsets, worldviews and political ideology are all over the place. We just don't really agree on anything.
Personally, I'm an Progressive, Liberal, Unionist, Democrat. I believe in the vaccines and vaccine mandates. Obviously, I see things different than many on this site and they disagree with me (Please don't reply about how you think I'm wrong and all that yadda. You won't change my mind, I won't change yours and I'm not trying. I stated this to show we have differences, not to argue or get self-righteous about them).
Organizing a strike, amongst this lot, lots of luck with that. I personally wouldn't even contemplate such a folly.truckerwife21, lester, bryan21384 and 4 others Thank this.
