I know, I know. There are many of you scratching your heads, knowing I'm anti-union. What no one sees is the fact that even the worst differences should be put aside for the greater good of the industry and the truckers. I'm hoping the next time I call Hoffa, I can remember the time differential, and we can actually speak, for I barely missed him, but was not brickwalled by Teamster headquarters.
There's a lot of issues the Teamsters and I will never see eye to eye on, for, truthfully, we are both hard headed entities with hard headed drivers backing us up. On the other hand, there is one issue we agree on.
The issues are that Mexican trucks should not be coming into the U.S. I'm mainly against this due to one major threat...............safety! With the cartels vying for power in many of the border states, I truly believe that they will get the power they are looking for through the trucks coming in. No matter how much money is spent fighting this "war," the politicians and enforcement forces are forgetting one train of thought, the thoughts of a criminal. Unless they can get the craftiness needed for some of the blatant crimes, they will never be able to figure out how to stop them. Also, with the illegal immigration numbers blowing up out of control, why risk it? Basically, they can come in on a truck, and just disappear. There is no promise these truckers will go back to Mexico. I grew up in the South, I remember the spike in semi caused accidents due to the unsafe drivers and unsafe equipment. Why risk it all?
The Teamsters have quoted this site twice on their blogs. They know we are united on this front, and they deserve all the credit for doing what this industry honestly needs, uniting! Too many people can't put differences aside and move toward the greater good. I'm including the links to the Teamster blogs for you to see for yourself.
Teamsters, kudos!
