We printed bumper stickers a few years back. That worked out quite well. It's time to make that happen again. Just a simple sticker, "WWW.PORTTRUCKER.COM" will do the trick. I will have to look up where that place was we had those done. A few guys even had some much larger decals printed at their local decal shops. I saw one across top of a windshield. Now that certainly got some attention. I believe three of us ordered a few hundred bumper decals on line last time..

Yes time to crank up a little heat drivers. Even though it's not yet officially the first day of summer it's time to plan for the future 2014 Christmas holiday peak season. Freight is picking up this year and shippers are having a harder time finding trucks and drivers to move their cargo. Many have left the industry since the collapse of the economy 2008. There is a looming truck shortage in the near future. Many companies have been steadily raising freight rates but the bulk of that money is still not being passed down to the trucker who deliverers the goods. Now whose fault is that?
We're talking to decal folk about printing up a few hundred bumper stickers right now to get things rolling in the right direction. There may be some in the next few weeks to pass out. We will soon post a mailing address for donations and such on here.. It's time for Atlantic owner-operator truckers to work together on a viable campaign to benefit everyone of us along the I-95 corridor. Don't you deserve to make a decent living? Let's use this site to organize a movement. Wouldn't it be great to attend each others events. That happened in the late 1990's and got national media attention focused on truckers problems in six mid-Atlantic states. It's time to make a little noise don't you think?

pass the word to every driver who works out of the docks. great uncensored web site. the facts are not sugar coated or covered up. that's a good deal. it's surprising how many sites have loyalty to a motor carrier,customer,association because of advertising or contributions. even though sometimes a few posters get carried away blowing smoke at least you can wade through the bs to get to the truth on your port trucker web site. keep it moving in the right direction.

I had a local decal shop make me up a new www.porttrucker.com windshield sticker last week. It cost me $25.00 and looks good I think. It's gotten some response at the port in the last few days. A longshoremen asked me about it this morning at the chassis repair pool. I told them truckers were organizing against abuse. His question to me was this a Teamster thing? I said nope. I told him it's an owner-operator thing. We consider what the Teamsters are doing at the ports with their employee BS is stabbing us in the back. |

How True TruckerUSA!
P.S. $25 sounds to steep for a windshield sticker. But not out of the question. Thinking...
