O/O Initiative msg: Port petitions from all around the country, especially from every trucker in America should sign up and be sent to Governors, Senators and Congress to address all of the these port delay issues. Delays from mismanagement of the ports' operation that is causing lost revenue for customers, carriers and of course for drivers. Maybe if the dismantling of trucking unions in the 1980's was beneficial to corporations, then big corporate {or local governments} should consider eliminating unions throughout the ports around the country. Productivity equals profits. Forward Thinking!
FYI: Having meetings for drivers to create a movement w/o an true message is only a photo op for Facebook, newspapers and etc. Get your facts in order and elevate to the occasion when confronting educated, high profile management. They already know that the average truck driver has a high school education and transparency in communications is not sometimes what it appears. The problems could remain opaque despite explanations.

If the Virginia port workers make $5 per hour or $50 so what? We still get same treatment. Management stands to gain from the savings not us. Look at the temps on lifts at the warehouses. No matter what they make most dont care how long we wait anyway when it comes to a live load. I for one think we should find a way to work with the dockers, just sayin. Why pick more fights when we have so many screwing with us now.

Hope some good will come out of these meetings. I plan to attend some of them and will keep up with progress on here as well. Too much travel time to attend them all- 6.5 hours round trip. I`m sure there are more besides myself who don`t live in the Tidewater area that will come.
First thing I`d like to see is driver unity. Until we all treat each other respectfully nothing will change. Our thoughts and actions have to be as one before we`ll see prosperity.
An old saying I always try to remember may help : "You can kill more flies with honey than you can with manure."

I commend you in your participation and sacrifice in advance. Sit square in the seat, think outside the box, speak from the heart, open your mind to ideas, the welcome is set, lets begin.... |
