Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Truckers not going to NYC

Looks like Texas truckers refusing loads to Commie state NYC.About time.Pipeliner

This could open a whole new plan of attack against leftist governments.

Good move when the DOJ is wishing for conservatives to get violent.

Good, about time wonder what's been taking so long. Now they need to target other deep blue states especially the sanctuary ones.

It needs to happen to California. There is or was a plan to smog check trucks from out of state but I don't think they were going to check trucks from south of the border. Go figure.

Plays right into the feds plans for electronic money. If the truckers money supply could be shut off they could be better controlled.

As soon as they pay a little more some greedy chittbag will haul to NY.
There's ALWAYS a few of those types around.

Perfect plan. If you have a communist gov't in your area, you don't get any truck shipments. We need to support theses truckers. If you plan to live without them you better be ready to become a mountain man.

Yup, there are enough raghead outfits, ethnic Russians, and LTL companies....this is going nowhere.

I think they are doing it out of spite. They should go a different way instead. They need to tell California they just can't make money going into that state with $7? diesel anymore. To make matter worse we are always getting harrassed by the California Transportaion Department, and handing us fines for some things so simple as having plastic caps instead of steel caps on our tire stems... We can't make money when we leave a truck for 10 minutes and the back door is busted open, and our load is damaged beyond repair. We can't make money when we need to sit there wasting time getting our engines smog checked... We can't make money there. We are very sorry , but we are so short on drivers anyway that we have to cut out somewhere, and half the truckers we do have refuse to go in to California anyway... Feel free to change your laws so we can do business together, until then , we are sorry, we can't help you.

Is this going to be like the truckers shutting down the DC beltway? Or is it going to be the border convoy?

I wish them well...

Bull Run

This is only partially true. Trucking is pretty tight right now, so any interference will have an impact. Any amount of misery inflicted to these communist bastards is a good thing. Expect them to recruit the illegals to the trucking industry should this have a tangible impact. That will be their counter play.

ihookem,

howdy, that all sounds good but it's never going to happen.

VERY few Americans have a thing called- conviction'. Although plenty of conviction towards greed .

Will the Illegals Drivers get the Unearned Tax Credit

Senator Cruze

Hahahaha Hahahaha

A NY, CA boycott would be the better deal for truckers, at least the independent guys. Harder to cut their money off. They Canadians should’ve just stopped hauling to Ottawa.

I don’t know how effective it would be though. It’s my understanding there’s pretty much a surplus of trucking capacity at the moment, and there will always be outfits willing to haul to those places.

My company recently cut it’s freight calculations to a lot of places, and they usually keep a bit of “padding” in there.

Hard to argue that.

I'd add Puerto Rican outfits to that mix, running FL to NY.

You sound like that has not been happening for many years.

I have spent the last 25 years on a small loading dock, dealing with as many as twenty truck drivers per day.

Whether they be Arab of some nature, Sheik, Mexican, South American, or from some region formally part of the USSR, half of them speak very little to no English. Of those, all of their communications with their dispatcher is in their native language. Which indicates to me the entire company is formed of illegals.

It is sad when you look forward to the driver originating from the ghetto of Atlanta Georgia. He may not be able to hit the dock in the first five tries, and he may be five hours, or a day late for his loading appt. But at least you can tell him why you just rejected his trailer.

The trucking industry has been flat on it's butt for the last year.

Lots, and lots of independents refuse to run Cali and New York City. Maybe even a majority. But the Chicago Russian 1099 companies and the majors have no problem running there. Just send Ivan or the rookie there, hope for the best. Cali rates have actually been average or below for a while. Until the VAST majority of drivers refuse NYC and CA, nothing at all will change.

but wait. Aren't most truckers lefty Teamster Union workers?
