Truckers warn ‘disastrous’ mandate will worsen supply chain chaos - Washington Examiner

Truck drivers fear that President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate will further exacerbate the supply chain crisis and cause snarls going into 2022. The trucking industry issued new warnings after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration released guidance Thursday on the mandates after much...

“TCA repeatedly called on the Administration to heed our warnings regarding this mandate’s impact on the already constrained supply chain , yet they chose to proceed with a disastrous mandate which will undoubtedly ensure the trucking industry loses a substantial number of drivers,” the group said in a statement.

During a Friday interview with the Washington Examiner, Mark Allen, the CEO of the International Foodservice Distributors Association, said he was surprised that there were not specific exemptions for truckers, especially given the solitary nature of the job and that most drivers are alone in their vehicles all day and have little person-to-person interaction.

Many trucking companies contend that pushing back the deadline is only a temporary fix and that the supply chain will become more frayed in January when the rules become effective.

Supply Chain is going to get worse. I dont see any improvements so far, and shutting down more truckers is the worse thing to do

 

[Lloyd Christmas]

More lying. Get the vaccine or go **** off

 

[RabidAlpaca]

Or they could just get the vaccine and go about their lives like everyone else. It's ridiculous to blame the people actually trying to get the economy back running by managing the pandemic.

The real blame belongs with the people who are so afraid of needles and a little bit of arm pain that they're willing to risk the lives of all the people they live and work with.

I say **** em. Your employer has every right to insure a safe working environment and you have no right to infect your coworkers. They can fill the low wage shit jobs or start their own business.

Supply Chain is going to get worse. I dont see any improvements so far, and shutting down more truckers is the worse thing to do

If these truckers cared about keeping the economy going they'd just get the vaccine. They don't care about that, so why should we care about them?

It's ok, the administration will break out it's magic wand and wave it around to fix things. Oh, but wait, the energy secretary laughed and said she doesn't have magic wand. Glad she can laugh about it.

I've seen a lot of stupid things said by Trump supporters about Biden, but criticizing him for not having a magic wand, which doesn't exist, is one of the dumbest.

Blaming Biden for idiot anti-vaxxers makes no sense as Biden is the one advocating for getting vaccinated. You don't actually care about this issue.

Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that Carlson is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.'

Tbe problem for trucking companies right now isn't Covid - they can't find new drivers who can actually pass a pre-hiring drug screen.

You clearly don't get sarcasm. Or maybe you just didn't see Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's interview where she laughed about it?

Energy Secretary Granholm: I Don't Have A "Magic Wand" To Increase Energy Production

During an interview Friday on Bloomberg TV, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed when asked for a plan to increase oil production in America. "That's hilarious," Granholm said. "Would that I had a magic wand!" "As you know, oil is a global market, it is controlled by a cartel called...

Cool. The solution to the long haul trucker shortage that existed before the pandemic coming sooner.

For all the hoopla surrounding self-driving passenger cars, there’s actually a more pertinent problem that autonomous vehicle technologists are working to solve: bringing self-driving technology to long-haul trucks.

Truckers throw a child tantrum and cons rush to hold their hand and they hide behind their skirt and suck their thumb. OP supporting people that only want to harm others for their own personal selfish, irresponsible beliefs that only they decide what is right for them, even if such behavior of belief, unsupported by fact, puts others health and life at risk.

It'snot the needle -it's the mRNA vaxx that is feared,or many like Rogers already have acquired(natural) immunity

There is no reason for a mandate when 80% of adults have had at least 1 shot. Long haul truckers work mostly alone
we have widely available therapeutics -the 'Covid pill"was just approved in the UK

Put those up against the mandate as well as truckers being forced off the job...this is no longer medical, it's some weird ideology

You criticized her for not having a magic wand to fix dumbass anti-vaxxers. Since we both recognize these dumbass anti-vaxxers are the problem, how is Biden supposed to fix that? Most of them are Trump cultists who won't listen to Biden anyway. Somehow that's Biden's fault? Explain how.

No, it's medical. Truckers don't have a right to infect their coworkers. The fear of the vaccine is objectively irrational. If they value the conspiracy theories they found on random blogs over their jobs, then that's their prerogative. Their jobs will eventually be filled with people who aren't idiots, and the delay caused for filling that position is 100% their own fault.

The guy saying the bolded is propagating a self-serving con. I suspect he's to cheap to pay for his employees vaccinations or testing.

True. The law that prohibits cannabis users from retaining their class A &B licences is absurd. Cannabis shows up in your system up to 30 days after use. So driver's who've used cannabis are getting tested two weeks later and failing their tests. Now certainly, if cannabis impaired one at the same level as alcohol I could see the issue. But people high on cannabis actually drive much slower and with extreme caution. Either way I find it amazing that in this day and age commercial drivers are allowed to drink in their off time, but are restricted from cannabis use.

Good, because when a dope-smoking truck driver kills or injures you, your lawsuit for damages can be readily dismissed with prejudice.

Well how would they know the driver was high on cannabis? They wouldn't.... Because there is no test that can determine if one is high on cannabis. Do you see the problem?

no way anyone can avoid exposure except thru strict social distancing.
the virus is simply too endemic in the population, and vaxxed can transmit as well

 

[Schrott]

Than they are out of a job, or even business. No income and a ton of bills, good luck with that.
There is always a place under abridge.

Nobody who is drinking alcohol or toking weed has any business driving anything on any road.
I don't give a shit how slow they drive.

I didn't mean to incinuate that it's responsible to drive while under the influence of any mind altering substance. Because it certainly isn't. .... The point I was trying to get across is that Cannabis users should be able to partake on their own time just as people who use alcohol do. Unfortunately, until an updated cannabis test is developed that can measure the degree of THC inebriation, that isn't going to happen.

This is on the same level of cops quitting cause people are trying to hold them accountable. Buncha gaslighting-ass MFs.

What do you hear truckers always say? "We're the lifeblood of the economy"? Just like cops, people who wanna fellate themselves and patting themselves on the back for being "heroes" but don't want to take the actions it requires to be a public servant. The fact that cops and truckers would rather quit than do the right thing shows you how much they actually care about the public. Which is only insofar as someone can pat em on the back and tell them they're a hero.

harsh. They have perceived valid medical concerns, or legal concerns -whatever. Public servants have rights as much as any American
