Heard that some dipstick container haulers had blockaded the Port of Houston today! Although, have not been able to confirm!
That would be one of the dumbest moves in this whole charade! The Port of Houston is an International Trade Zone, thus Federal domain: A blockade would be considered domestic terrorism and instant jail time! Wish I could find confirmation that this did indeed happen! It was on just becoming open knowledge as I was leaving Houston this morning!

strike insurance
I took out strike insurance ,before I started driving trucks 23 yrs ago. I am what they call a double dipper, I hold a union journeyman refrigeration and a union pipefitters license. I am now working as a fitter for 42.36 an hr. plus benefits, so I guess you can say; bully for me.
