The problem is that the independants make up a small fraction of the trucking industry. The companies can't afford to have sitting trucks.
They have to get the companies in there to have any wieght. However, most companies with any size usually forward contract their fuel or have adjustable fuel charges.

Yeah, pretty much.
The problem with the strike is that their is no organization/demands/spokeperson. The only thing that is being done is increasing the awareness of how important the trucking industry is to our economy/dialy life/etc.
The thing is, you park you truck, decline a load or whatever, they will find someone else to haul that load. There will always be somebody out there that will haul it for a few dollars less.
