The INTERNET is a great place. You get updated informations as they are happening. You have the ability to view, news, updates, and make comment. Most of all you have the ability to take the action necessary to change things. These topics will not be part of a news update on CNN or MSN. They are here and here alone. That is not to say , you will not have the opportunity to make news. Come the Friday before Labor Day, and all is well at all terminals, you folks will tell me something. That something will be Peter, we just don't give a rats ass about any of these goings ons. We only care about now, not tomorrow, tomorrow will take care of itself. My answer is simple, you are right. Tomorrow will take care of itself, but will your job be part of tomorrow? That is the question here. Its a present day response to a problem of tomorrow. First of all , let me explain something about this site. It was prepared by a person , very much in the know of things. Hardtimetrucker took his time, efforts, and money to assist you all in grasping the futuristic effects of the planned changes in transportation. He has done his best to explain and give you all the ability to write, comment and make a contribution to this site. Basically preparing one great site with current informations, thus giving you all the ability to see the writing on the wall. There is no smoke and mirrors here, only facts, truths, and the clear ability to see your futures. What you do with this information is strictly up to you personally and the trucking group of OO's. It has no intentions of making your drink, only showing you the stream, where the water is present. So either bend you head down and drink from it, or bend your head down and kiss your asses goodbye. Either which way, you will be bending your heads down. This stuff presented is real, accept the facts as what they are. California is first, I grant you that. But it won't be too long to see this spread to the East Coast/Gulf. Its coming hard, fast and with due haste. These large firms see a golden opportunity to take over a position inside the terminals, without any cost of doing such, no take overs, no restitutions in any manner to any companies, and results being one heck of a lot of business, now being performed by the OO's. You , your company or any of its employee's will not get one dime from all of this. You will sit on the side lines, wondering just how quick it all happened. Then asking yourself, maybe it is better to go to work for Swift or however takes it all over. The recruiters will be standing at the piers, giving out applications for all the OO's to come in and sign up. They will promise a fair wage, maybe health benefits, at least at first. You join the team, you work , then in come the illegals, now trained, now ready to do you job at half the wages, no medical benefits, no nothing. So you not only gave up your jobs, you provided them the means of keeping the pier freight moving , during the training period of others. They got the whole California pie, and will be looking to enhance their position with Jersey, Savannah, Charleston, Baltimore, New Port News, New Orleans, Boston , New York, Houston and Galveston. I can almost assure you that Portland, and Seattle will be right after California. So you can sit there, saying in a year or less, what the f**k just happened or you can start acting up now, while you got some handle on the hammer, while they are ill prepared to do much now. I am now calling for just one day, one f**king day out of 364 others to show them all , you cannot f**k with OO's, we are unified, we are prepared to battle, and most of all you have not seen nothing yet. Thats the key here, you have seen nothing yet. Give me that one day, give me that one show of unity. Its all your choice, drink the water of kiss it all goodbye, its your choice.
