I guess but I don't hear anything about the plight of truckers and the abuses we have suffered for over 20 years. The inhumanity of the business. This is some political f**kery and there is no room for that Obama care bulls#*t. No independent truckers will have too worry about supplying workers with healthcare, we are fighting for us and our families. We are underpaid misclassified second class laborers where is that message. This is not about Washington tyranny are they f**king serious, we are not asking

do u drivers think it will happen. i am hearing big talk on the radio in virginia. i would like to see it pulled off. will i take part? i am not driving to dc with my truck but i will park my truck for a few days. maybe thousands will do same. wouldn't that be great? i hope the news media people don't go out and interview the dumbest one at he fuel stop but that is what they will do. i have been asked by a dozen drivers so far what my plans are. they say they will do the same. we will see how many keep their word.

it's time to bust their ass. every week either the port , steamship lines, or the d**n intermodal companies are stealing my money. oh yes/they all share equally in screwing us over. it's time for pay back. i say shut them down for two weeks but most guys i talk with say they will go a week without moving. a week without trucks at the docks will coast them plenty. let them try to move it by train. they always threaten they will do that so have at it. these stupid port managers think they can move the freight of the boats without us so let them try. are we men or mice? now is the time to make it work. give them a taste of what it;s like to be in a money pinch like they do us. cost them big bucks this fall. let them know we are sick of the poverty rates they expect us to haul their containers packed full of millions of dollars worth of freight from china.

our company threatened to fire anyone refusing to pull loads. we are all owner,operators so that is to funny. i wasn't going to stop but after hearing that bs i won't be moving any boxes for a few days. i told the dispatch to go ahead and pull my placards if they wanted. i got a no response so i take that to mean their threat is all hot air.

If this had been a legitimate group calling for a national job action of the correct type I would have joined in with full throttle but it appears to be another bunch of wackos calling for everything under the sun except the right issues that concern us. It appears the truckers grassroots movement(if their was one)has been hijacked by aliens from the planet bazaar! I notice during the final hour they have added a few issues we had been calling for so someone must be reading the webpages. It's a little late now. These points should have been made clear from the start not coupled with this baloney of driving to the capital to over-throw Obama. I see nothing to be accomplished here other than making fools of a lot of hard working truckers using the national media to so that so I am loading cargo in the morning and going trucking. No shutdown for me boyz & girlz... I hope it all works out for those who are determined to take part but I don't see that happening with this groups misguided attempt using truckers to promote the agenda of this goofy woman in Florida.

i see no point but i did sit home yesterday. did u see the little group of drivers in the rain blocking traffic around the beltway? now that is stupid driver. it jus makes us look bad. we need to do something positive that gets the point across. these rates suck and there is to much government in our pocket.
