Do truckers really hold ultimate power?

Not for long:

It's alright but it's no On the Waterfront

I'm gonna watch that one too. Can't go wrong with Marlon Brando...........

 

[jefferz]

what if they put the trucks on the rails

Then we'd call it the Hyperloop.

 

[IloveTHIS]

I'm sure if every single trucker in the world went on strike, Amazon/Walmart would role out some new infrastructure using huge ass cargo planes to transport everything within 50 hours. Products would probably be 20% more for a little while but the world would definitely continue on. Truckers are overrated.

We're gonna have robot truckers soon so they would want to hurry up if they want to do this.

[Bacco]

they carry all the shit around, food and medicine

could they shut down the planet if they wanted it?

what if they decided to see the world burn

They're going to be some of very first victims of automation, i don't like their chances of conquer world

 

[PlayswellwithLawnDarts]

We’d have to kill another Teamster Boss I imagine

 

[faustian]

The Autobots would destroy the recalcitrant truckers and Optimus Prime would then clone himself into fleets upon fleets of friendly delivery trucks to meet all our logistical needs

 

[BEER]

Their ability to constantly do meth and fuck hookers is out of this world.

Salute to them!

 

[dildos]

confirmed- truckers are Illuminati.

leader of the Autobots = a trucker

the truth is revealed

i can live for about 5 years. truckers can live for about 5 days

 

[Renard]

Nope. They are unskilled labour and easily replaced with new recruits. The training program required is 120 hours, that's nothing.

is it doe, is it

 

[froggyluv]

Nice. But Stallone made a more appropriate movie to reference.

 

[Alphaboy]

Yes.

Everything depends on truckers.

 

[Thrawn33]

We still have trains and boats. So not a complete shutdown.

They have to get from port to store somehow....and more trains would suck ass....

 

[Plutoburn]

Robots can already drive majority of the way from destination to destination. Once programmers figure out/collect enough data for AI to drive all the way, truckers are fucked.

A while ago I read this article where they were talking about these giant blimps that can carry way larger loads longer and faster.
