I support the strike 100% but Americand will not stick together so it will never work. This email says it all: WAKE-UP AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone wants to bitch about the fuel prices and the economy but no one wants to do anything about it. If truck drivers want to change things then call every tanker driver that you know and get them to unite and stop hauling the fuel. When the “Fat and HAPPY Politicians” can not put fuel in their limos and sports cars they will do something about it. ALL AMERICANS need to get together and totally stop buying anything that is made in China or anywhere other than AMERICA!!! What is wrong with Americans, why won't we stick together and do these things. GET THEM DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say it is time we STICK IT to all of the people that have been living large on all of us for way too long now. If you agree, forward this to everyone you know.

New Truck Drivers Beware
I started and drove for a company out of Amherst, WI. It took a few years for me to figure out why I shouldn't have stayed as long as I did.
What I want is to let other new drivers know that they don't have to go through what I did to learn, you can do better sooner than you think.
Companies use new drivers by telling them they are not going to make money off them anytime soon because of the cost of training and then putting them on the road in their own truck...Look out driver...They are going to push you so you get the miles making you think you are doing great out there..Then you are going to find out that you are not going to get home when you think you are or should be..
If you are thing of going with a company that brakes up their pay scale by 1/2 cent pay increases as your time with them adds up. I say Look out driver...If they have a high turn over rate...Like the company I drove for..200/300 drivers per year...Driver look out...
Help me IDENTIFY these companies and when they can't find drivers to do this to. They will have to change their ways of treating new drivers and the drivers that are there now..Maybe we as a group can make changes..I have never seen only one person make a difference...
One more thought is: Don't drive for a company that has only one terminal that is 2 or 3 states away from where you live. Remember : If you quit, you have to drop the truck at their terminal or they can charge you up to and maybe more than 500 dollars for not dropping it there.
Hope to hear from more drivers...Lets make a difference or at least try..
Be safe
