The BLM terrorist are making friends everywhere they go. If they decide to **** with truck drivers it won't end well for the terrorists.

Over the weekend, Black Lives Matter protests shut down several major highways across the nation and there’s a recurring scene in almost every one — semi trucks unwillingly taken hostage as a prop for protesters.

Wow, one truck in Atlanta doesn't come across quite as spectacularly as the headline would have me believe....

That would be truck driver singular.

One truck.

One driver.

One moronic website.

One mountain out of one tiny little molehill.

Just one.

Actually it will be the wealthy who would suffer the most. That is the point. Just look what a handful of protesters can do by simply standing in the way. Imagine what will happen if Trump is actually elected. The truck drivers might be annoyed sitting in traffic, but it's the wealthy who are losing money on it.

Blame the successful people. Blame the guy who took one truck, turned it into a fleet, started a business, and is now rich.

Pathetic left wing nutjobs blame them.

If you had read the puece, you would see that it isn't just one truck.

Truck drivers typically get paid by the mile, or by the load. Delivering late can cost the drivers money.

Except that most drivers are paid mileage or percentage of load, so the driver is losing money. I used to drive OTR, traffic jams cost you money in two ways, 1) you're delivering late and not running as many miles and 2) that time you spend sitting has to be entered as "on duty" in your logbook and runs against your 70 hour clock, which cuts into the amount of legal driving time you can use to run miles

And over half of licenses carriers in this country are one or two trucks where the owner is a driver

He do3ant speak for every truck driver in the country.

So you want to dismiss the claims that don't fit your narrative but magnify and distort the ones that do. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

That's one person. One person rates a, "narrative". Think, before you answer.

It costs the receivers even more money when you consider that most companies do not warehouse parts like they used to.

They depend on " just in time" deliveries to function.

O/O for a few years.....1998-2003

Log books were to paint a pretty picture for the DOT.

But.....late is late. And that is a killer for the reputation of any driver.

And who made you the authority to determine what those narratives are?

That's means of a couple hundred calling dead cops, that's a hell of a narrative.

Late trucks can cause shutdowns in contruction projects.

I ran for a fleet with eLogs and strict policies requiring write ups and discipline for busting HoS
 
if you impede interstate commerce and traffic you should be charged with a felony and incarcerated. period

Not sure what you're trying to say here, given the lack of clear writing. As in, I literally can't make it out.
