An incentive for a truckers strike?

Question

Since truck drivers can't seem to get it together to actually pick a week and make a national truck strike happen, I propose this incentive.

If you all won't do it to help your business in the long run, if you won't do it to tell your boss that your time away from your family is worth more than what they are offering, if you won't do it to protest the gov't not giving a darn about you and price gouging you at the pump...maybe you will do it for good ole fashioned s*x.

This is my idea.....wives and girlfriends of truck drivers. Get your man to stay at home with you for one week by offering him s*x whenever and however he wants it. Clean, dirty, high heels, dominant...whatever it takes to get him to stay home for one week.

If anyone knows any parking lot gals, get them to give help out the guys with no wife or girlfriend for one week also. Even their business would improve.

NO I AM NOT JOKING. It takes a woman to get things done....by any means possible.

Kinda brings a new meaning to "Where the rubbers meet the road", right?

Answer 2

The best possible incentive truckers or teamsters could come up with would be for Mexican truckers to transport things from Mexico into the United States and within the United States. Both countries have been working on this for a while and the USA is not too happy about it, even if the Mexican truckers and trucking companies comply with everything.

Using women as two bit hootches to get truckers to make up their minds is not fair to women. Your post is derogatory, offensive and reeks of mysogyny.

Answer 3

In case you haven't recently looked beyond your 1950's era view of the world, there are actually female truck drivers on the road, too.  

And before you say it....they're not all lesbians or ugly women, either.  Plenty of straight, intelligent, capable & attractive women driving trucks.  Sure they're the minority but they're out here.  They're less of a minority when you include husband/wife driving teams.  Solo females and husband/wife teams probably make up 25% of the industry.

I usually wouldn't even bother wasting my time on your response but it shocks me to think you might actually be serious.  

Of all the loony ideas I've heard of, yours takes the cake.

With the price of diesel they need to find ways to tell the government  and everyone else they aren't moving anything until someone can bring the price of diesel down. You asked for a truckers strike, there isn't the drivers out there on the road that have the back bone to do it..There are more independent truck owners that  would see the cost of diesel go out the roof than to stop moving their trucks for any amount of time.

Within a short time you won't have to be concerned with truckers and strikes, the price of diesel, and states taking older trucks off the highways that don't meet certain standards will be more of an impact than anything else. It's already started to happen at the container port in Oakland Ca. where people are complaining about the fumes from the trucks waiting to load and unload. It's going to cost alot of money for the independent truckers to bring their trucks up to the set standards. The truckers with old units will have to give it up, which in alot of cases is great for everyone. Here in Calif. for whatever reason the highway patrol have closed alot of the truck inspection stations, or don't open them that often anymore, which would reduce alot of the truck that shouldn't be on the highway for any number of reasons.

You could be right about the women helping the cause to keep the drivers home, but wait and see what is going to happen first with the trucking industry very soon. Just like alot of companies in business, the strong ones that have government backing and support are going to stay in business and on the road.

There is a strike happening in Georgia April 1st.  

This is not a joke. The truck drivers and loggers in the Ga area will be shutting down on April 1st. We are scheduled to meet on I-75 at exit 201 at 8 am on April 1st and ride to Atlanta in protest of the fuel prices. We are encouraging everyone to participate. You do not have to have an 18 wheeler to participate. Come in your cars or pickups. It is time to stand together and make a change.

Answer 6

Haha.
