I would like to first of all state that I do not drive a truck, however my father is a retired truck driver. I spoke with him and we put together a good plan that would allow truck drivers to continue their runs, but also wake up the fuel companies.
I am aware of the fuel crisis and the massive price gouging. I would propose that we target individual oil companies for boycott. I would ask that this be done with a nation wide effort.
The first item of business should be to identify all fill up stations by brands, Such as Exxon Mobile or Phillips Conoco and set up a system of boycott for one specific brand that we could all agree on. and then move on the following month to boycott the next brand if need be.
The next item should be is to come up with a mutual outline of what brand to start the boycott with. If it is agreed that we for example boycott any station selling Exxon Mobile once the Exxon Mobile stations have been identified, then it is imperative that we all MUTUALLY remain locked in on the same brand during the whole duration of the boycott.
The next item of business would be to determine the proper length of the brand specific boycott. If ALL who drove trucks were to unite and decide to boycott Exxon Mobile or another brand of liquid gold, then we should look at doing this for a period of one month or more and move on to the next brand if need be The simple facts are that a few days or a week is not going to do anything. If this is going to work, it has to be prolonged, and during the prolonged effort, we shall not loose vision of what we are trying to accomplish. The reasons for this is the fact that all those leaches can learn by is by where their money is and why it went away and it is high time we hit them where it counts. In their fat pocket book. This is where "staying the course" will pay off for everyone.
If other companies (brands) are not brought to heel during this time then they can be marked for the next months boycott.
With this concept, No one is in danger of losing his or her job or having their personal safety put at risk. I want to see you deliver your loads and get paid without being put into any kind of jeopardy. The beauty of this is that we can still choose where we shop and who ever else we buy from. That is why this should work.
I am open to suggestions on how we can put the word out to most of the truckers. Once we do successfully get the word out, we can then set an effective date to start the boycott and start the spanking of the oil companies. I must stress again that this is a brand specific boycotting system and it will allow us to shop at the boycotted brands competitors so this should not slow anyone down on their routes..
