Antelope,
I'm trucker biased, our economy is dependent on every nail to hold the structure, I know that.
But truckers are the beams.
The "If you got it a Trucker Brought it" slogan is deceptive.
In understates the importance of trucks.
Trucks and fuel are the chicken or egg of society.
They depend on each other, and without them everything stops.
Folks only think of trucks as the transport of retail goods.
Everything you but has been on a truck, sure.
But it has probably been on a hundred trucks if it is a manufactured good.
A head of lettuce has been on, fertilizer, pesticide, fuel, seed, and several refrigerator trucks. The above items? Have all had multiple components moved by trucks.
My point is if 1/2 of the 68% of truck drivers stopped, the whole dam mess
would collapse in a week.
Trains too. That's why the POS had congress step in and make the rail workers stay on the job. The POS will step on the truckers too if there's any sort of organized interruption.
