I am glad that they once again reflect my views - not.

Teamsters want full controll of trucking again. The ioo isn't liked much. They want all truckers to work for a large company that can be unionized. Thats what the recorder is all about and making the trucks that go to ports employees of the port, that keeps independants out. They passed the law were your truck had to be almost new, then you had to have a apu now they want the recorder and make the docks your employer. The docks is about all the union has left and they are a joke.

I went to pick up a loader at the docks in Delaware, I had to have an escort, for security, $100.00 an hour, she sat in my truck and texted all that time, I asked her who loaded me, she didn't know,I asked what did they load, she didn't know.

I asked the supervisor why 7 guys to load a loader, we call it a gang he said. ??? What the......... So when it came time to load I said I wanted it backed on, no one dared to, I had to load it and my friends while they watched.

Even better, I took an army tank down there to be loaded on a ship, I had the keys and it ran, had the guns and all,it was going to war. I hauled it through Maine,NH.Ma.NY.NJ.DC.They asked if I had a twic card, I said no,they said I had to leave, I was a security risk. I was a security risk because I didn't have a card, so they sent me back out of the gates WITH A TANK that I was trying to give them. Figure that one out. After I paid $30.00 and got a cardboard card I was safe to let in.

You had the keys to a tank with one of dem big ol' guns, they make you leave the place, and you actually took it back? That sounds like a mancard demerit to me.

Next time get on here and let us know and we'll find a field somewhere, get a keg, and see how that tank really handles!

I had to go back out the gate, then get a temporary card to get in and a paid escort. They seemed to think that we were all safer with the tank setting in the streets then behind their fence, the world was a safe place again when I got that 2"x3" piece of cardboard though.

Funny about the "new truck". I was removed from bidding on a small salvage job for a local municipality because they felt my equipment was to old. It's all clean, well maintained,registered, inspected and insured with all the proper permits and tags.

Oh and Hoffa doesn't speak for me, I'll damn well vote for who I want. Paul

I fear the country will not withstand another term of this president, or his current political system.

This single president has presided over unprecedented debt to fund current unwarranted lifestyles and entitlements future generations will struggle to come to grips with.
