Having said that though, the Niemöller quote is over the top. Niemöller was referring to people being executed in Nazi Germany, not drivers getting citations for air line leaks in the United States of America, the most free nation in the history of the world. Comparisons like this are insulting to the very real victims of WWII and those living under real persecution around the world.

If truck drivers were ever able to get together and organize, we could all take a vacation during Roadcheck, we could shut this country down. Every single item bought in a store, and every single raw material sent to a factory, was delivered by truck. Truck drivers make all other jobs possible. It might be time truck drivers do something to remind the country who the real job creators are.
