We, our fleet, doesn’t have time for these games. We’re busy, and have been absolutely swamped since about 3 months into Covid. Beyond swamped!
Doesn’t mean they’re not opinionated but all but two are at least double vaccinated. We’re way too busy to screw around. I’ve no idea how the few truckers (with tractors in Ottawa) can afford to be there & I’m not talking about go-fund-me stuff…but their obligations to their customers and contracts who will go bankrupt or go elsewhere to stay afloat. No customers = no livelihood.
Those outside the industry would be blown away to actually fathom the insurance costs or maintenance costs or fuel costs or equipment costs and so on & so forth, and these costs don’t stop when they’re out protesting instead of generating the constant revenue needed to not become insolvent. These are tough shitty times without this goat rodeo on top of things.
TBH I don't get it either. Really, what are they betting on to get after going through this? I know they probably thought the fundraising would help but that's nixed in a lot of ways... so...
And after, will they have an easy, or tougher time being hired? Not because they protested but rather, because they preferred protesting over doing work... I don't know. I actually feel sorry for your people and your group having to deal with the side shit from this fiasco.
