truckers in south florida are proud owners of their trucks. i do not know where you get this info from about trucker support for teamster plan? we do not support giving up our trucks to drive company owned trucks here in miami or port everglades florida. these are lies.

This really sucks for truckers in south Florida. Wonder how much this latest mayor in Fort Lauderdale has recived in campaign contributions from the Teamsters to stick her nose in truckers business? Most Cuban American owner-operators are very proud of their trucks down here so this should get very interesting soon.

I cant believe this. Big trucking companies want to further their own business by putting the small businessman (trucker) out of business? These truckers have the right to be independent and not be owned by some corp conglomerate. The Home Depot tried to do that to All American Home Center in Downey. They did everything they could to put the family owned home improvement company out of business. They failed. These truckers need an advocate to speak up for them.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Virgo

Mercury is turning retrograde at just the right time, because it's telling you to consider the validity of your long-term aims and aspirations. If they stand about as much chance of seeing the light of day as you do of winning the Lottery, then you need to streamline them or even abandon them and start again. So think about what you want from life and how you're going to get it. Children and romance may be quite erratic during this phase.
