Let the truckers go on strike, then I can finally drive a decent speed on the highway without them fucks going 2 wide at 18mph up a 4 mile hill. I really don’t care about emissions. My daily drivers will be newer cars that will pass easily and my toy cars will always be too old to need emission testing. 😃 ---

Then I don’t need the gas or the truckers, and hell it won’t matter if you are going 18MPH, my electric car only goes 12, safety first you know… Unless your getting your electricty for your car from the wind or a dam, its not going to be more efficient than reformulated gasoline. Where do you think the engery to make electricty comes from? You have to look at the whole scheme of things. Everything that goes into creating the electricity At this point nothing(maybe fuel cells one day) is more efficeint than gas. The most inefficent part is getting the oil out of the ground. It’ll be tough to top that. Should be interesting to see how things pan out in the next 10 years or so. But at this point I don’t think electric cars will make it. Look at the GM EV1. As soon as california realized that using electric might not be as efficient as thought they dropped all support of the car and GM took a huge loss. ---

IMO i agree that there are some hillbilly truckers out there but there are just as many well educated drivers as well. 99% of the driving population can’t handle a 3500 pound car without having an accident, so im sure they couldn’t handle an 80,000 pound truck.one more point . the defecit of drivers in this country is 90,000 as it stands ,so yea it would be real easy to fill rest of the empty trucks. ---

IMO I’m not worried about them all quitting, but I’m smart enough to understand that the tougher/more expensive we make their jobs, the more expensive the goods they deliver will become. It doesn’t matter who is driving the damn truck, it’s how much it costs to operate them, which is reflected in the goods. It’s sort of like min wage…it just puts the economic strain elsewhere, it doesn’t fix anything. ---

I been hearing the strike since i started back in august, I do fore see it before summer. It has nothing to do with the trucking unions either. Makes it even funnier 🤣 ---
