#1 - I'm looking for you folks to do a piece on which candidate would be best for trucking and of course, truck drivers. Not just owner operators, but all truck drivers, including company drivers. I'm pretty sure that the "mainstream" media won't do this. I'm also pretty sure the pinheads over at the ATA are going to support McCain. Who is OOIDA going to support?#2 - Ya'll claim to have 16, 998 members in Texas. According to your breakdown, you have 7,629 in PA, 5,655 in CA and 3,655 in NY. What's going on? Why so few in such large states? Could it something to do with your stodgy, pedestrian, unimaginative approach to marketing your organization? It doesn't take a lot of money to sound interesting. How long do you intend to remain "static" with 162,248 members? Your membership numbers in these big states should be triple+ what they are now. If you want me to remain a member - I could use the money to join AARP - let's try to get out of second gear.
