Forget What You're Being Told. Here's the Real Reason for California's Trucker Shortage.

when you got nothing huh?

You have even less. And, you don't care about actual law.

You have even less. And, you don't care about actual law.

What law is that? Or, whose law?

 

[danielpalos]

What law is that?

The actual Constitutional Law to be Legal to, right-wingers don't have enough morals to faithfully execute.

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,

Wtf does that even mean dude? You okay? Going Dexter on me?

It means right-wingers have no basis to complain but don't have enough morals.

It was their individual liberty and natural rights that were violated. Right-wingers are just too bigoted and dumb to understand it.

The lefty solution has lead to a supply chain disaster. The reason why dems want owner operators to identify as employees is to get more union members. Dem's AB5 is why we are having supply chain problems.

Some on the left believe more in equal protection of the laws as a solution.

The “owner operator” pitch became a way for trucking companies to manipulate people to work for less money, worse hours and not have to provide any benefits.

It was incredibly predatory and a huge reason that trucking has (before the pandemic) a huge turnover problem and inability to maintain long term staff, they were constantly relying on new people to make the same mistakes that ruined the people they were replacing.

People are starting to wake up to the abuses of their employers and backing out.

What lefties REALLY believe in is power. The reason why dems want owner operators to identify as employees is to get more union members. Dem's AB5 is why we are having supply chain problems.

The left seems to understand socialism unlike the right-wing, who even appeal to ignorance of capitalism.

Owner operators are not victims, they are entrepreneurs. They do not want to be employees. Owner operator is what company drivers dream of becoming.

I see your point. Some on the left are for equal protection of the at-will employment laws for unemployment compensation so the labor force can learn new skills for modern times.

Uh huh. That's the story they're sold by the trucking companies.

But starting day one, they're "owners" under a tremendous amount of debt that they owe to the trucking companies. Oh, and they definitely have exclusivity deals so they're not really their own boss, they're stuck taking whatever their "don't call them a boss" offers them. Oh, and if they quit they owe the trucking companies thousands of dollars for their training programs. That's money they don't have because the trucking companies take a huge chunk of their "paycheck" anyway.

Do you know what the turnover rate in the trucking industry is? It's through the damn roof because they burn out people and are constantly looking for new suckers to convince of their shitty deal.

Entrepreneurs and self employed don't want that company crap, they can go to a company if they want to be an employee. They don't want to be mandated into identifying as employees.

With unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States, labor could potentially go to school as long as they want or until they command the market based wage they desire to provide labor input to the economy.

Bullshit. You've just posted how a commie sees self employment.

You got nothing.

Read this: Rigged. Forced into debt. Worked past exhaustion. Left with nothing.
This is a great report. Should have won a pulitzer. The whole thing is worth reading.

"Truckers at dozens of companies describe the same basic scene. They were handed a lease-to-own contract by their employer and given a choice: Sign immediately or be fired. Many drivers who spoke little English said managers gave them no time to seek legal advice or even an interpreter to read the contract."

I'm not saying being an owner-operator is always bad. I'm saying the trucking companies are guilty of some predatory tactics that are coming back to bite us all in the ass.

From my perspective, not only should we not have any security problems in our free State but we should also not have any fire problems either.

The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.

but we do when mayors tell their LEO's to stand down. Why would they do that?

I have no idea. I am not there. All I know is we have a Second Amendment and should have no security problems in our free States.
