AND even if other trucks were assigned by less experienced drivers, there would be roll overs and ditched trucks EVERYWHERE.

Driving a truck is nothing like driving a car with a trailer.

my ex-wife drove for CR England, it took her about 2 months.

Phase One:

Training consists of team driving with a professional trainer or driver mentor for approximately one month (165-180 driving hours). You will have a trainer by your side

Phase Two:

Once you have completed Training, the next step in your career will be Phase 2. Apprentices who complete upgrade from Phase 1 will go into Phase 2 teaming and partner with another apprentice. This allows new drivers to continue their education and training alongside one another.

Strike takes a union to back it up. Truckers are decentralized and work hard for measly pay. Not going to happen.

I don't. I work with truckers every day and if anything, business has been booming. Covid really set the wheels in motion. Tyranny, however, well I think we all know where this is going.

Shut down the trucking industry and we have the most serious of problems. Stocks would tumble and the elite would be against the wall, as well as everyone else.

What really concerns me is this rolling blackout business which has been whispered around here and there. That would be the ultimate cherry on the cupcake.

Shutdown needs to happen Friday November the thirteenth before they certify this lie. Force an audit. It's our only shot at a peaceful protest. Just shut it down. Pain now or a brick murder wall later.

Found this

URGENT: Confirmation of HUGE Loads of Telcom Gear Leaving Warehouses on "Expedited" Basis - COMMS OUTAGE COMING
NATION
NEWS DESK
17 OCTOBER 2020
HITS: 30

URGENT: Info from a Vice President of Logistics at a MAJOR (i.e. massive) Communications gear company: HUNDREDS of Tractor-Trailer Loads of telephone switching gear are being picked up from warehouses nationwide, on an "EXPEDITED SERVICE" basis, and moved throughout the country; word of a cyber attack coming which will completely CRIPPLE the communications grid.

As many of you may be aware, my family has a long history of working in the specialized trucking industry. We began in the 1980's moving main frame computer systems, architectural drafting gear, Trade Showw exhibits and Displays, to moving specialized communication s platforms and scientific gear to this very day.

We got a personal telephone call from a friend who is a Vice President of Logistics for an utterly MASSIVE (i.e. Global) manufacturer of Telephone switching systems, and Internet Switch/Router systems used by the MAJOR Players at Internet nodes, giving us very strange and worrying news.

The VP of Logistics told us:

We are rolling semi after semi (Tractor trailers) of inventory for telecommunications across the country for Exclusive-Use/Expedited delivery early this coming week!

It's unheard of to increase such inventory shipments like this, but they have increased 10 fold!!!!!

Major corporations have been told by government agencies that some type of incident is going to take place which may completely destroy the Communications Grid. It sounds as though there may be some cyber attack or some natural phenomenon which does great damage . . . VERY SOON.

There are also RUMORS of travel lockdowns coming which would forbid STATE TO STATE TRANSIT.

People are also using the phrase "Martial Law."

The executive told us he did not know what incident might be coming which might result in a Communications outage, but he said he's never seen entire warehouses of computer switching gear being "emptied" as he is now seeing.

Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America :

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things
that people in other countries only dream about.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

My daughter-in-law called me about a couple of hours ago her best friend is a truck driver (independent truck driver) and Land Star is also joining in, as well as independent truck drivers who contract off them. She told her to stock up best she can & to let me know.

What about Walmart? They have their own fleet of trucks and those truckers are their employees.

If their trucks do not strike, then all this will accomplish is to benefit Walmart and harm their competitors, no? Depending on the duration of course.

Teamsters is no more either, is it? I was in film industry when they were big but was long time ago.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6463563

Walmart does not have its own trucking industries...this is much bigger than that...it's corporations like Land Star one of the biggest in the USA...Walmart truckers go to pick up...when there is nothing to be picked up bc nothing was delivered...thats going to be a huge deal!

Obviously a millenial or chiny chiny.

You never saw all the Trucker movies from the 60-70's.


I long hauled for a short time, there is a "sort" of brotherhood of the road out there, whether or not you believe it.


It's been over 14 years but I will still stop my car and block traffic to help a trucker make a difficult turn.

That is about right; however doing the training and then doing the job are two different things.

Coming right off the training line try driving a big rig with 35,000 lbs of lumber for 3 hours in bumper to bumper traffic in Toronto moving forward 3-5 feet at a time; try to leave enough safe space and yet another car cuts in front of you. It wasn't a big deal but not everyone has the patience, nor the skill.

And winter driving? Oh that is different. I went over some of the "mountains" on the eastern part of the USA during winter months. I would NOT want to drive through the Rockies during snowstorms.

You can learn how to drive them, but they are not going to take people off the street to do it.
