The problem.....for every driver that doesnt take a load on monday or tues, that just means more miles, money and loads for those drivers who are working monday or tues. There are A LOT more drivers worrying about making money than worrying about mexicans. Now from a recruiting standpoint, If a huge strike happened, a lot of drivers would lose their job. Which in turn would mean a lot of empty trucks, which would make my commissions as a recruiter go up big time. Hmmmmm, maybe this strike would be a good thing. Need to have a poll about who is worse. Used car salemen , life insurance salesmen or trucking recruiters. :twisted:

On April 25th we recruiters will pick up our cubicals and carry them to the capital and surround the building with cubicals 3 deep. We are also demanding free pizza every friday. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for your support. However, the replacement Eskimos recruiters might have a small problem.... I hear that they have a problem with Lying, Cheating, and coming to boards like this and belittling the drivers here. They also don't understand the notch at the top of each doorway at your office....(so you don't bump your nose on your way thru.) :roll: :roll:

It's important to realize that the NORTH AMERICAN UNION, with the USA, Mexico, and Canada, all losing their national sovereignty in order to give the corporate puppeteers EVEN MORE POWER has been planned for 20 years behind our backs, and with NO DEMOCRACY for checks, balances, and free votes. The Trucker's Strike April 23-24 is no joke. Cancel the siesta and do some more research before you badmouth it anymore.

There is a strike?
Well I hope alot participate. Not because I really care about this crap but at least I can get in and out of the T/S alot easier than most days of the week if alot of drivers are staying home. So please...strike, stay home!
