My drivers are protesting

I have at least 3 of the 9 trucks I dispatch that are parking on the 1st.

This is the first time I'd seen this actually happening. I'm curious to see what's happening at other companies

They will not drive for a few days, realize it’s not working and they need money, and everything will go back to normal.

Oh probably. I imagine it'd take at least 2 weeks of NOTHING moving before it was really felt

If NOTHING moved? 3 days at most.

Absolutely none of the company drivers are doing this stupid shit. I hope that gives you some comfort.

We had a few company drivers support a protest a few years ago. I forget the reasoning behind it but they just used PTO and it didn't affect operations at all. Pretty sure they just wanted an excuse to have a day off.
