Nation's truckers considering work stoppage
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 12:04 PM by Texas Explorer
in protest of high fuel prices.

Just now on CNN, Rick Sanchez spoke with several truckers at a truck stop in Georgia. When asked by Sanchez if this was true, all the truckers at the table answered in the affirmative and said that it would be a nationwide stoppage defined as parking their trucks for up to TWO WEEKS in prostest of the cost of fuel.

Can you imagine?

Edited to add: I've never asked to have one of my OPs rec-ed up, but I really would appreciate it for this one because I'm hoping to hear from some truckers about their experience and maybe we have some here on DU.
