Start by paying for our healthcare – for the DOT medical exams and cards and all the paperwork – for the sleep apnea tests – for the high blood pressure and diet pills, the exercise programs, the right food and the gastric bypass operations. YOU PAY FOR IT!
We’re sick and tired of your ridiculous unfunded mandates. OOIDA, the ATA and the trucking media say nothing. But, YOU PAY FOR IT! We need you, our government, to start paying for it right now.We can’t wait. Put up or shut up.
Since when did a democracy elected by “we the people” – that’s you – order “us” – the people - to get healthy in order for us to hold onto a job? That’s nonsense. Just who the hell do you think you are!
We should tell YOU want to do, not the other way around. You want my BMI lower – YOU PAY FOR IT! You, my government, seem to think it’s ok to tell me how to live my life, what to eat, when to sleep, when to work – all in the name of safety – then YOU PAY FOR IT!
You give billions to Wall St. so they can pay out millions in bonuses and travel and entertain each other first-class. So I DEMAND, right now, you pay for my health and medical care. That’s for EVERY driver! Not a loan, not a handout, not a bailout, not a rescue – no – just PAY FOR IT!
You start taking care of us right now. Make us healthy. Make us safe. No questions asked. You want healthy truck drivers? Then, YOU PAY FOR IT!
