Default Don't want to strike; Ok call it National Call in Sick Day....Shut the Country Down.

Everyone gets sick, everyone calls in sick to work at one time or the other. (of course we do have some die hard truckers who don't. I'm not knocking anyone but it is a fact.)

Company Drivers can call in Sick too. If a company driver has the flue, throwing up and the runs, you mean to tell me you'd still drive your Truck? That would be just crazy.

Sure you're under a load, It needs/has to be there. (Unless someone is hauling body parts I don't see where Any load Has to be there.)

With the Flu and all the buggs going around, someone please tell me the Truckers NEVER get sick. Of course we do. We're HUMAN, anyway last I checked.

So CAll In Sick, it's just too bad if everyone does it the same three days. When I say everyone I mean the Whole Country! Not just Truck Drivers.

Of course this will NEVER happen, but IF it did or even if you could get all the Truckers Company, Owner Opps ect. to do it, then and only then would we get their attention.

So far today the report is, the West Coast Trucking has stopped.

East Coast Trucking is slowing down, (Trucks on the Interstates are moving at only 20 miles per hour) Way to go Truckers! You're making the news out there.

I'm hearing this from our Company Big Wigs, who are listening and watching the News. Our Company says they wish everyone would strike.

Me too.
