I will take my chances getting ejected into the bunkhouse.. and rolling down the embankment.. big rigs and wrecks.. dont match well","replyToPid":223891}

{"replyTo":"","text":"How can we make the so called \" LAWMAKERS  \" begin to see that we as truckers need certain exemptions and rights and eventually better pay rates for the tremendous job that we do.\n\nWe should be getting the minimum $30 dollars an hour for an apprentice and something close to aviation rates for the true professionals. \n\nLook at the mega million dollar profits of the trucking companies.  TRICKLE IT DOWN YOU GREEDY CEO'S.\n\nThe regulations on us are strict and very demanding.\n\nOur family lives almost always suffer because we are away from home all week and still bringing home pennies on the dollar while we are the ones keeping America great!\n\nWe have the power !  We can get things changed. in our favour and I believe we could start by flexing our muscles on this seatbelt law which only makes us more uncomfortable during our daily 14 hour shifts.\n\nHow can we start making them hear us on our issues?","replyToPid":0}
