Leedham has always been on the side of dues paying members that are freight hauler.
Now the big question is that the union members that are moving freight,are now a division of the whole IBT organization.

There are many other divisions.
Even if a big vote count for him from the freight division comes in,would he be able to get votes from all the other divisions?

Do the other Teamster divisions have confidence that he would be the best choice for a Teamster president?

Although the International Brotherhood of Teamsters started out with truckers,they have really branched out,over the past years.

Now they are representing many other industries.

So a good Teamster president has to be well informed on all members,not only truckers but all of the dues paying membership.
