Welcome To Our Trucking Website! Our Intro::
The Truckers' View... This is the beginning of a change for truckers
The trucking industry is a completely demoralized industry with myriad problems yet looming over the horizon. The trucking unions, trucking advocacy groups, trucking companies, and governmental entities not only do not help the problem but exacerbate it considerably by their indifference to the situation.

Our goal is to help provide a voice to all people involved in the trucking industry in one form or another and to the motoring public as well whose lives are in jeopardy daily. Many of us are in an utter state of consternation as to why nothing is ever done or ever changes.

The only way things are to change is if we actually do something instead of just talking. We absolutely must have the motoring public's support in achieving these goals. We intend to show through our forum that the way to change things is not more stupid laws and regulations but rather to hold the shippers/receivers and trucking companies to account for their transgressions.

The trucking industry is basically a slave industry with truckers working on the average over 70 hours per week. Many of which are not paid while sitting in shipper's parking lots sometimes 8 hours or more after specified load time (a whole workday for average Americans!) . Truckers are not paid overtime as others. Yet the Democrats and others, who say they are for the working man, turn a blind eye to this because there is a lot of money involved and a lot of it shows up in their coffers at election time !

Of course, most of the companies listed here have investors and the investors do care how a company is run and managed. This directly relates to the trucking industry and the safety of all of us who use America's roads.

We will use polls to root out the most egregious companies and let the investors and the motoring public know.

The supply chain, and management of it, directly relates to the company's profit as well. If a company doesn't know how to get their products onto the truck for distribution in a timely, efficient manner then one surely must ask, "how well is that company managed?". Investors investing thousands, if not millions, of dollars in a company need this information to do what? MAKE MONEY $$$.

This is the way in which we aim to change some things... We will let the money talk. We will let the people talk (people whose lives are in danger every day driving by that tired trucker). Truckers are only a symptom of the problem. The heart of the problem lies with the shipping companies and trucking companies. That's not to say, of course, that truck drivers are perfect little angels themselves even in the best of circumstances.
