The call is on for Truckers across the states to pull over their rigs and shut down. April 1st is the first date and the buzz will be for other dates to follow. We support our truckers and wish them the best of luck. Their intent is not to harm anyone and its only being down because they have had enough. Below are the issues. Give them a honk as you go by show your support.
"This movement is to call attention to the plight of ALL of trucking. Fuel prices are just the icing on the cake. The threat of Mexican Trucks, addition of toll roads, increasing taxes, low freight rates. The trucking industry has been getting hit from all sides."
Reasonable diesel fuel prices with a cap to prevent price gouging.
Temporary relief from federal and state fuel taxes.
Mandatory fuel surcharge.
No lumper fees.
Limit on broker percentages.
End to price gouging on equipment insurance.
Stop the cross border pilot program and get Mexican trucks off U.S. highways.
Mandatory time limit on broker and shipper payments to truckers.
Fair treatment by DOT.
Shippers supply their own pallets.
Receivers pay for unloading.
Payment for down time while we wait for loads or loading.

SEPTEMBER 1ST SATURDAY MEXICAN TRUCKS ROLL - TEAMSTERS TRY STAND
THANK YOU GOES OUT TO BOTH ILLEGAL PROTEST AND TO DIGGER'S FOR THE HAT-TIP.
Elitist's ruling party coup d'état.
Mexican trucks will start rolling on Saturday September 1st out of Mexico and onto our highways. You need to understand a few things about the Mexican drivers and their trucks. There is no CDL equivalent to ours, drivers appear as young as 16, drive long distances at low wages and ride in top heavy over weighted outdated trucks. More heartache for this country and its security. President Bush is completely deaf, from the ringing in his ears NAFTA's CAFTA. profit, profit, greed. How many are unable to speak or read English street signs for direction. No problem they will receive only a warning citation.
WASHINGTON - The Teamsters Union said Wednesday it will ask a federal appeals court to block the Bush administration’s plan to allow Mexican trucks to carry cargo anywhere in the United States.
The union said it has been told by officials in the Transportation Department’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that the first Mexican trucks will be coming across the border on Saturday.
Teamsters leaders said they planned to seek an emergency injunction Wednesday from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Good luck as it looks like democracy is fading fast.
Lawmakers said their major concern is whether Mexican trucks, often older than U.S. cargo vehicles, and Mexican drivers will be able to meet rigorous U.S. safety standards.
“We do not need 90,000-pound unguided missiles on our highways,” said Rep. Robin Hayes, R-North Carolina.

ILLEGAL ALIENS AND CRIME
Thank you we have now.
Honorable Star,
You didn't mention the arrest of the four illegal aliens in the news over the last two days.
One was arrested at O'Hare Airport on his way to Mexico City after committing a homicide in 017.
Two arrested in Barrington Hills growing $4,000,000 worth of marijuana in the Cook County Forest Preserves.
One was driving a hazzardous material tanker in Indiana with no citizenship and no CDL or DL. The Indiana State Police RWOC. Incredible....
