You may feel as though you are one small voice in our big country, but if you don't speak up, who is going to do it for you?
Thanks Drivers. Come & join the discussion. Be counted. Strength in numbers, voiced as one. Unity!

Disorganize, well where do I start. A movement with no leadership / moderator {a presiding officer, as at a public forum, a legislative body, etc.} or someone to take control of an open discussion, again. If this is about us, then we {drivers} should come prepare. Drivers with contradicting with their own statements or a power stand by one that thinks it's us on a line at the ports is counterproductive. If any drivers at that meeting such as the two mention can come to a gathering of drivers with hope and that that's their best response, well consider the source.
Time is against us as the season for freight kicks up. We have an opportunity with the Motor Carrier Task Force to really make a difference, but this first so-call 'FTBT / Team Up Truckers' meeting flopped. A missed opportunity is a missed opportunity. Don't blame the drivers 'FTBT / Team Up Truckers' and drivers don't blame 'FTBT / Team Up Truckers'. Drivers check the man in the mirror!
To be continue...

I will continue to advocate for the greater good. More drivers should be on this website doing the same and voicing your opinions here. Not at the meetings yelling at one another. As an Indian, I have seen them bicker for what I haven't a clue {listening to Jimmy Buffet when I wrote this}. Lets start acting like a movement and not like we are all kings of...
Please fellow truck drivers come to the meetings. Lets come up with ideas for the Port Delays that is the main topic for discussion. Problem solvers needed {not on Craigslist}. Sign-up. Join the discussion. Be counted. Strength in numbers. Voice your opinion as one. Unity!

They would be on the site except for the economic rape they are used to.

The (recent Vancouver truckers) strike served as the flashpoint of an emerging drayage crisis that’s adding hundreds of millions of dollars to shipping costs and threatening the growth of intermodal commerce. There’s no quick fix for that delivery process, in part because so many parties have a say or a role in how containers flow from ships through ports to inland destinations. Any solution to the drayage problem will require cooperation among terminal operators, longshore labor, chassis suppliers, container lines and shippers as well as drayage companies and truck drivers. And those parties will have to be open to new ways of doing business and new technology. www.longshoreshippingnews.com/2014/04/joc-series-paints-picture-of-drayage-crisis/ |
