I've heard a lot of talk today about unions and union truck drivers.
I just want to recognize that even the smaller owner-operators are pretty important. I had a lot in my riding prior to.... A lot have gotten out of it because of either the insurance, the fuel costs, or the wait times. Like we said already, there's a lot of time they waste if they're an owner-operator.
I have a question abut fuel, because, as we know, it's getting a lot more expensive. Is that going up? Is that money going to take away from money that perhaps we could pay that company or that individual to stay in the industry?
We heard earlier that when there's no training.... Could there be an incentive somehow that would help in the long run, as opposed to just paying more? You're not changing your vehicle; you're going to be driving the exact same vehicles, the same trucks.
