The Fear of an Organized Truck Driver Workforce

Governments both in the USA and CANADA fear it truck drivers ever organized and stood together for a common goal,we could effect the economy of North America.As far back as 1959 this was a great concern as evidenced by the following statement by the late Robert F Kennedy on the Jack Paar show which was the forrunner of late night television talk shows.Mr Kennedy stated"ALL OUR LIVES ARE TOO INTRICATELY WOVEN WITH THIS UNION TO SIT PASSIVELY BY AND ALLOW THE TEAMSTERS UNDER MR. HOFFA'S LEADERSHIP TO CREATE A SUPERPOWER IN THIS COUNTRY -A POWER GREATER THAN THE GOVERNMENT."Even back in 1959 governments were scared of truck drivers organizing,I personally don't agree with some of the tactics employed by Mr Hoffa and the teamsters back then,but I do agree with drivers stand together for a common goal of gaining better working conditions and wages.Even today governments act quickly to stop us from any actions that could escalate into something bigger they have passed laws that prevent us from blocking border crossings or highways!People of differant ethnic races and backgrounds have joined the trucking workforce in the last few years I personally don't have a problem with this,but it has an affect on our ability to organize and stand together,we can't get along and this plays right into the governments and large trucking corporations hands.They know if we can't get along we sure as hell ain't goin organize!LOOK AT IT IN THIS CONTEXT YOU ARE INVOVLED IN AN ACCIDENT YOU ARE DYING YOU NEED A BLOOD TRANSFUSION DO YOU ASK THE DOCTOR DID THE BLOOD YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE ME COME FROM THE SAME RACE AS ME?IF IT DIDN'T WOULD YOU REFUSE IT AND DIE?What I am saying here is to organize we must put our petty differances aside and stand together for a common goal,until we're able to do this things are only going to get worse.

407 E.T.R.

An update to earlier posts on the Electronic Theft Road just spoke to a service represenative from the Theft Road over a bill I just received I asked if I could receive the image of the plate that is alleged to have been used to travel the 407!GUESS WHAT THEY CAN'T PRODUCE THAT IMAGE"SURPRISE SURPRISE"WOULD THAT NOT BE LIKE A CREDIT CARD COMPANY DEMANDING PAYMENT FOR AN ALLEGED BILL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO PRODUCE SOME FORM OF PROOF YOU ACTUALY OWE THAT BILL?How many people just pay these bills to escape the harrassment of the 407,when the bill is not even theirs to begin with?One would be better off to let the 407 or their merry band of collection agencies(NOR-DON INCLUDED)to take them to small claims court and produce their proof you actualy used their highway.PRODUCE THE IMAGE OF THE PLATE # OR SHUT UP!WE CAN ALL THANK MIKE HARRIS AND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY FOR THIS FIASCO.AND IF ONE LOOKS AT THE FRONT ROW OF STEPHEN HARPERS CAUCUS WE STILL HAVE ABOUT FOUR OF THEM STILL

IGNORANCE OF THE LAW

From an early age we are taught to listen to people of authority our parents teachers etc they know best in the younger years this is good advice.But as we age we should be wary of this line of thought.Some police officers will give you that age old line IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE FOR BREAKING IT!But deep down he or she are praying you are ignorant of the law,case in point that traffic ticket he or she is writing you if you are ignorant of the law they are hoping you will just pay it.Traffic tickets are a cash cow for law enforcement and in other instances a way to go fishing for information like WHERE ARE YOU GOING OR COMING FROM it is none of their business where you have been or going,Ride checks have you ever been asked those same questions at a ride check again none of their business.In fact the SUPREME COURT has ruled once it has been identified as a ride check it is not authorizing an open invitation for fishing expedition of information.Should be have you been drinking t
