Default JULY 30TH IS TOMORROW! SHUTDOWN OR NOT

Now is the time to make your decision - shutdown or not. Whatever you decide, remember it will have an impact on your future. Thank you all for listening to my comments. We will make one last post when we see the direction things take in the next few days. Good luck and stay safe.

I'll choose not. I'm on a 3000 mile trip that is going to pay me over $15,000 (my cut, not gross). Shutting down would be pointless and foolish.

I can't resist.

You know, this shutdown will do absolutely nothing. The companies will say BFD and life will continue on as always. You can protest your brains out and nobody will give a crap. History has shown that massive demonstrations have done nothing to change anything. Vietnam or the Iraq war demonstrations dwarf this shutdown and they both did nothing.

I wouldn't dream of joining a union but that is the only way to effect change by mobilizing the group as a whole and shutting down until a resolution can be agreed on.

Teacher strike....BANG....one week resolution

Pilot strike...BANG....one week resolution

A general trucker strike would last about 2 days

Thank you Steve...same thing myself and Bandit have been saying since the whole "shutdown" was brought up. They will find a way to get all the tonnage moved, and life will go on. If you're un-happy, find something else to do...I did.
