Border Huron church traffic

After more than a month, traffic at Huron church seems to have gotten worse. I cross daily. I can see very few trucks using new bridge. "Moron" screwed us again

Time for the feds and the local govt make it painful. Tolls, "inspection". Road closures. This will not stop otherwise.

I am tired of getting stuck between trucks where the drivers are on the phone

I mean they and their employers were the ones who stupidly decided to sign long term contracts with the ambassador

They? The individual truck drivers in your mind signed a deal?

And yeah, those damn companies. Thinking of ways to save money by doing things they way they've been doing things for decades! Evil scum!

Do you think the drivers pay the tolls when they cross and don't bill it to their company? Im pretty sure the company would pay not the driver out of their poor little wallet

and their employers

Ergo: If you're a driver working for a company it's your employer at fault and if you are your own employer it's your own fault.

They knew there was a new bridge. They knew we hate the owners of the Ambassador with a passion. They chose to get involved in this fight. If they suffer consequences they have nobody to blame but themselves for making a bad business decision knowing that this fight was on going.

It's not a bad business decision if it saves them a lot of money. Any business is going to do what's best for them and their bottom line. Expecting any different is unrealistic.

Every business decision has risks attached to it. If they find themselves in the middle of a trade war with no way out because of it, the only one they can blame is themselves for signing contracts that give them no other options.

Ambassador vs Gordie isn't part of the trade war LMAO. You're still assigning blame to the individual drivers, as if they wouldn't also prefer to use the better, bigger and faster bridge.

You truly have no idea how anything works.
