I have been telling my family members to stock up also. Of course my warnings were usually tied to date fagging. I quit doing it because I know my children were starting to think mom was crazy. That's ok, I have enough to feed them too.
I started in 2008 when Obama got elected. Had my timing off a bit but it sure was nice when I changed jobs amd was most of work for a bit and had our own storehouse of food. We didn't shop for 2 months except for perishables like eggs.
Mormons been operating like this forever. If you have Mormons nearnyiu they have stores that baseline all this stuff and books on how to best operate it.
I've got a small stockpile for friends and family in case they desperately need it. My family comes first, however having an allocation for my friends and neighbors seems like the Christian thing to do.
That's a good point. But I would assume that a truck strike would affect them also. They are not in control of their total logistics. They do have to rely on truckers who are not direct employees I assume. Another good way to strike would be to look at all the bridges that connect the country together and park the tractors all at the same time. I know that when the I75/I71 bridge had to have some work done, it made this area miserable trying to cross Ohio to KY. Now take that all over the crossroads of America and you have something.
Agree. Another idea, instead of all that truck "weight" ON the bridge, I say block the bridge on both ends so no traffic can cross. Then others park trucks behind those blocking the bridge. GO TRUCKERS!
This needs to happen. It will hurt a lot of people in the short term, but pain tends to wake people up.
One more time: STOCK UP!!
Been fully stocked deep for the last 7 mos and rotating stock since. We good to go. Let’s, NOT, role truckers!
I am eating green beans & corn dated 2012. Still taste great !
Store bought canned goods ?
i have to consume a case of expired mini V8's down the hatch
Anyone else like SPAM? My wife thinks I'm crazy. Fried SPAM sandwich or with eggs for breakfast...love it.
I absolutely love spam. Haven’t had any in years but it rates right up there with bologna. ❤️👍
Give it to your local convoy & go get more
Well, I've been telling my family and friends to stock up for 3 years, can't say we didn't warn them.

Same here, though one of my adult children and her husband are even more stocked up than we are. I raised them well :)
At times it's like boy who cried wolf with how many times over the years people have been warning yo stock up.

What about Amazon freight? Wouldn't they keep their chain going?
Dont get me wrong, I want this to happen, but I'd hate for Amazon to circumvent the other companies.

If you ever see Amazon distribution center, there are Amazon trucks on one side and every trucking company you can imagine on the other.
Would be good to tell all supporters of the strike to do a boycott of all purchases (barring life saving products) until the strike is over.

Yes I'd stay off the bridges, many are so badly in need of repair
Yes, Main interstate bridges in key logistical location can create major choke points.
That 75/71 thru Cincy was a disaster!
They can't touch it.
Amazon will be good with what they already have in stock.
Just layed in 250 lbs of fresh beef from my son in-laws ranch.
Donate to your local food bank if you have your own.
There is no chance of an American trucker strike.
What makes you certain of that
