You know Dennis, you really need to get out of the van and see what's going on down there, there is so much work that is full truckload and some LTL stuff way outside the reach of any expediter that the Mexican trucking companies participation on our side of the border will not impact our work...

Chris that's because the original thread is from 2005.

I know what the OP was asking, I don't agree with a lot that is said or any thing to imply that I HAVE to worry about what makes their job easier - this seems to say to me that they are more important then I am, so I have to be nice and put up with their crap. NOT The job is not hard at all...

Well I understand your point BUT the problem is these "rights" are restricted not for the enjoyment of seeing ourselves governed but rather for the protection of the public. It is a privilege because we force it to be one, we allowed the government to regulate this in order to have a safe road...

Ragman, no need to apologize. Layout, You know that Asian Carp can be used for a lot of things, fertilizer, bio-fuel, throw at people you don't like. You don't have to eat them just get rid of them.

Ragman, It was Asian Carp that this company used. I am trying to find the episode that featured the company and the process. They were claiming that the carp was used because of the competitive nature of the business, a lot of gefilte fish comes from China that is what they use there. Layout...

Well my intended comments were focused on what I have seen, younger people who are in the system for the first time. I haven't been to the VA in a couple months but the last time I was there, it seems that most of the people were young. Now with that said, I don't really see the concern as you...

To many, he is Jimmy jr. Anywho nitpicky people, go read OOIDA and the teamsters site - oh and read about the two interviews by Lockeridge and that other XM radio guy.

I forward to them a link of this thread and will talk to them in the near future. They are very good and know their stuff. I don't think you get what I'm saying. I respect their job when they respect my position in the food chain. Well I understand, it isn't brainsurgery like many make it...

Well change the d*mn law and allow people to eat them. Yes they use Asian Carp. I read a good article on the subject and they use it, it is farmed carp but there isn't anything wrong with using great lakes carp.

Pilgrim, maybe just dropping the charges and dropping him off at the VFW would just be a good thing.

Layout, I understand that but that's not the target demographic I am refering to. Golf, I understand the issue and as I have seen a lot of the crap first hand, I believe that the only solution is to fight for the enforcement of those laws. I as a citizen would rather put the money we use for...

How many jobs are lost? None that I can see. We haven't had massive layoffs due to any right to work issues or foriegners taking over the industry - that's my point. To be more exact, I don't see the reduction in trucking jobs any time soon, the recruiting of the majors is still going on, we...

Leo, You don't look much in the cabs of trucks do you. We have eastern Europeans in cabs of trucks hauling freight here in the US. We have Indians and Pakistanis in cabs of trucks hauling freight here in the US. We have Brazilians and Colombians, people from Peru and from Argentina in...

I still say Oprah is the most disturbing person on TV. She is going to do her show in Cairo.

You kidding? It is no where near as hard as the job of driving in a rain storm while trying to figure out where you are or dealing with a dangerous situation like a driver on the wrong side of the freeway coming right at you. See maybe it is the fact that a dispatcher gets to go home after...

Oh I don't know Dennis, it seems many are acting as it is going to be the worst thing that happens to the country and the industry, many act as if it going to put people out of business but not one person here or other places is willing to back up the things they say are facts; Mexican...

Well I understand what you are saying but really it is not Ford's problem any more. See maybe some missed the news that at one time about almost all the Cummins engines made from I think 1996 to 1998 had something that did a lot of damage to the engine, the Killer Dowel Pin a.k.a. KDP. Cummins...

Read the other thread, many are following the idea that this will destroy the industry while I say not a big deal. Did you work for an auto company?

AND with all of that, not one shred of proof that anyone can offer or point to that supports the speculation that this will destroy the industry.
