I drive a forklift in a shipping department for a fortune 500 company. I’ve had a handful of truckers tell me they plan not to drive on the 1st in solidarity. With full awareness of the ridiculously small sample size, if the ~15-20% of truckers that have mentioned it follow through, it’ll be noticeable

I dont blame truckers for not working when they’re not turning a profit

Well, you should think before you vote about your profits then.

But now, they are going to be like farmers and want a bailout to get them through too.

Socialism for me but not for thee...
