That's the right of the American worker. We can't ask them not to use what resources they have just because it's inconvenient to us.

I only make .25 cents a mile, Since I dont own my truck.

That dollar per mile goes to owner/operators for pay, truck payment, oil/fluids, repairs, insurance, permits, and of course FUEL.
