TRUCK STRIKE 2008

TOPIX FORUM IS NOW FULL OF POSTS CALLING A NATIONAL WIDE TRUCK STRIKE FOR APRIL 1 2008.This action is being called fo over escalating fuel prices,rates and wages not keeping pace with fuel prices.As a truck driver I feel this would be a much needed action,keep in mind Ontario/Quebec are on the verge of passing speed limiter laws which will further erode the earning power of drivers/ow/op alike.The general public does not realize if all trucks stopped deliver goods and services the economies of both the U.S.and CANADA would implode within a few days."IMPOSSIBLE SORRY TO BURST YOUR BALLOON ALL CONSUMER GOODS IN BOTH COUNTRIES ARE ON A TRUCK AT SOME POINT ON THEIR WAY TO CONSUMERS."A small group of drivers/ow/op's successfuly shut down major border points in North America in the late 80's this shut down was starting to effect the economies of both the US/CANADA.Governments on both sides of the border we're quick to pass laws ,that would include the use of force to remove the blockades.This brings up the next point FARMERS WANTED TO BLOCK THE 401,WHAT DID OFFICALS DO LET THE O.P.P. CLOSE THE 401 AND LET THE FARMERS PROTEST.Are farmers any better than truck drivers or do they have special rights?For those of you drivers who fail to support such an action"LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND ASK YOURSELF AM I BEING COMPENSATED PROPERLY FOR THE SERVICES I AM PROVIDING?

407 E.T.R.
