Bah, I'm no republican. I'm just always right. Anyhow, these guys are sick of being cut off in traffic and scowled at and having their kidneys beat all to hell. They are tired of the police pulling them over and harassing them. They have families to support and lives to live. They are no different from any one of us except now they are taking what little power they have in this world and putting it to good use. Good on them for showing their solidarity.

 

I'm sure if someone in an ambulance was in that much peril, they would find a way around the traffic or well...that's what they have helicopters for. We're talking about civil disobedience here, not raping and pillaging.

i think one of the truck drivers was an ex-graffiti artist or tagger.... his sign he made looked like it was tagged up h: but then i read it and it said something about protesting high fuel prices.

 

Link?


Those Truck Drivers are giving the rest of us a bad name

But I understand them

 

Crazy :O

 

Can anybody give me a company name the is on the side of the trailers??


I could tell you exactly why they are striking if I know the company name.

Also give me the Highway Number too

 

they are protesting against high diesel prices

 

Why are they complaining?

Most of them have a 50 Gallon Cap in California

And if they would sell those Square Nosed Rigs that only gets 4 mpg and Got a Streamlined one the can get 6-7 they wouldnt have to worry

 

if everyone is selling their rig, they wont get a good price for theirs and then how will they afford a fancy new one?

the straw that broke the camel's back.

 

Square nose rigs go for anywhere from 110k to over 150k with monthly payments around 2k

BTW, this is a Square Nose

A Streamline one goes from 80k to 130k with monthly payments around 1.5k



BTW, Its very easy to get Financing for a truck and most of them get paid around a Dollar a mile
