I'm all for supporting this movement! We need things to change. I've been in the industry for 30 yrs. I've been around it all my life bc my father was a truck driver. This has been talked about forever. I was always skeptical bc it always turned into drivers wanting to make a party of it. I'm not down for looking like a fool bc of drunk truck drivers. There's issues that need addressed.
One of my biggest grievances is paying to be unloaded, no matter what the circumstances are. I'm OK with not being allowed on the dock. I don't want to be there, nor should I have to be. Along with that, Truckers that have to unload their own freight. We shouldn't have to be their laborers. We got it there.
Next is brokers. Brokers shouldn't be allowed to keep more than 10% at most. If the rate of freight is 5.00/mile, we should get it!
Lastly... The 14 hr rule is unsafe and dangerous. We should be allowed to break up our hours.
How can I be heard? If we are doing this, let's do this for everything.
Thank you,
Michael
