You do know that you can start a petition here on Port Trucker, right?  P.S. Follow The O/O Initiative: have your fellow truck community drivers come on to the forum. Sign-up drivers. Join the discussion. Be counted. Strength in numbers, voiced as one. Unity! |

The appointment times won't make an hour? Another port nightmare.

The appointment system has not worked, so it is time that drivers come together and form a petition. You want to know how and about what? Stay tune...
Happy Independence Day Drivers!

hasn't worked anywhere else before so why do they expect it to work at virginia ports. this is another stupid move on their part. we should make it the port problem by refusing to put up with same old garbage. until drivers show what the port looks like without trucks for a week everything will remain same.

To many times you have these so-call movements and they forget what it was for in the first place. We have had some of the worst operations at the port recently that even with a Task force, visit from VIT/NIT and ILA (now how dumb was that) that we are in a worst place before all of fore mention attempts and visits. Thinking forward drivers you need to come up with ideas to deal with the status quo. Attending group meetings that has nothing to do with the problem confronting drivers now and a continue lost of revenue can a self-aggrandizing, Funny-facebook clown represent drivers when he places his own agenda first before any so-call movement. Think drivers, there are other ways out this. Think, make a list. I'm pretty sure, other than striking, there can be an alternative. The mess being Port Delays and rogue carriers, education and communication amongst ourselves is the key. Read the Post by HardTimeTrucker: From the Port Trucker board, all the best with the Virginia meeting to be held this morning. Let us know if we can be of any assistance. There are several members here who wish to help truckers at the Virginia ports succeed in their goal. What is good for you is good for every trucker in the east at every seaport. We strongly believe that involvement by truckers own elected leadership in control is the correct route to accomplish what we need to do here in the east. This site does not in any way support the Teamsters union campaign across America from port to port in their current efforts to destroy our system of the owner-operator or independent-trucker-contractor model. There are other avenues that as a group we can be working together on such as finding ways to strengthen the federal leasing laws, educating new drivers on cost of truck ownership, as well as pursuing certain legal actions against trucking companies who constantly steal and abuse the rights of individual truckers.This website was created and continues to be dedicated to the cause of informing , educating, and organizing truckers along the Atlantic coast in their quest toward demanding better working conditions, wages (truck-n-driver) in this industry so take full advantage of using this site to post and spread the word. |
