Trucker Against High Fuel Cost
I want to give Chris and Meredeth a BIG pat on the back for standing up and telling it like it is! I don’t really agree with the strike, but I did slow down that day and didn’t drive as fast as I would normally. I don’t have an answer for all this either. But, when people realize that the reason that the cost of their food is going up because our fuel prices are going up, then maybe the common folk will realize they have to stand behind us and help us.
One thing I want to leave ya’ll with. PLEASE understand that our cost of trucking these goods across this great nation have done nothing but gone up while our pay and freight rates have stayed the same. Some of that is due to the big companies that put their trailers on trains and haul it for 80 cents a mile. Part is because the brokers are taking so much off the top.
I love driving a truck. It is not just a job, it is my life and part of who I am. Ask ANY driver that has been out there ruining the twin ribbon of asphalt for as long as I have and they will tell ya the same.

I have a problem with the liberals like the truckers in the clip who are calling for government controls. The answer isn’t more regulation like Billary and Hessein Obama want. Folks, we overwhelmingly supported re-electing George Bush (along with NAFTA) in order to secure our country against attacks from the Iraqi Al Quaida Islamists. Let’s not side with the liberal Demrats and try to punish corporations for being successful – only a pinko commie would do that.
