Supposed to start at 9am this morning and circle around the capital (heard on the way in this morning) more power to them, I hope they clog the hell out of DC traffic! not that it can get any worse than it already is on a daily basis

Talked to my retired sister this morning, they're feeling it, just in everyday needed items. Have been for about a month. They've never really complained about gasoline because they're used to not being able to afford that.

All the power to them. I think the best that the truckers could hope for is that they start getting paid better to cover the cost of fuel. Unfortunately, I don't think anything will happen to the price of fuel. I could be wrong though, I hope I am.

My Dad has been a trucker his entire life....and retired in December. I think he is more relieved then anything, he has had to raise his hauling rates like 5 times in the past 18 months! Customers just don't get how expensive it is for the truckers right now! Their prices go up for fuel........our prices for EVERYTHING will soon follow!

just saw it one the news. doesn't seem like their getting that much attention though. i agree with them, but what exactly did the last one accomplish?
all those dump trucks should be loaded with manure, that way they can leave them something to think about.
