@NASCAR@AustinCindric@CarsonHocevar I havenโt watched NASCAR in 20 years until last year. I will be buying some Carson Hocevar merch and tuning in for the cup races. As well as ARCA for Cleetus and Squirrel.
You can always employ this tactic if your credit cards get behind ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Still so damn funny.
Especially being Afro Latina๐
The last major trucker strike in the US occurred in 1974, and the way the industry works today makes a protest on that scale completely impossible.
It would require 9 out of 10 owner-operators parking their trucks. Not just shutting down, but actively blocking major US highways.
It would require the cooperation of all 10 of the largest mega-carriers in the industry.
Anyone caught breaking the strike would be actively attacked by those participating in it. People taken out of their trucks and beaten Reginald Denny-stlyle while everyone with a smartphone records the whole thing for the internet to see.
So far what we've seen are a small handful of accounts mumbling about a shutdown, while everyone else continues doing what they can to keep their businesses running. We are nowhere near what 1974 looked like by a long shot.
@KansasOz45@TonySeruga Fuel surcharge goes up about 20% of what the fuel goes up.
I was 4$ in the negative last week after fuel came out.
I have 2 trucks and weโre dying out here but nobody gives a shit.
@DisrespectedThe Struggling owner/operator here.I donโt have any reach on here. All I can do is comment on others.
Itโs funny how we get hailed as the backbone of America until we are hurting and want to do something about it, then we get criticized and are the bad guys. I support the strike.
5 days is a long time considering the amount of product our great truckers move. If all truckers halt, we will all feel the pain. Iโm okay with that thoughโฆ
DIESEL FUEL STRIKE
FOR TRUCKERS OCT 1-5 2025
THIS ISN'T ABOUT WARS.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE PRESIDENT. IT'S THE OIL COMPANIES RACKING UP RECORD PROFITS ON THE BACKS OF TRUCKERS AND HARDWORKING AMERICANS.
@MarktMatts@Tinawa39572 My paycheck this week was $4 in the negative. NO SHIT. I bought more fuel than I earned. Some of that fuel will roll over to the next week so next week will be a little better.
And fuck yall that say weโre doing something wrong. Youโre an idiot.
@MarktMatts@Tinawa39572 I voted for Trump and would vote for him again tomorrow if I needed to.
I am also an owner/operator with 2 trucks, and we are getting hammered. I donโt give a shit whoโs president, something needs to be done. Weโre dying .
