[QUOTE="sledge, post: 22254, member: 148"] I worked as a Diesel Mechanic at a truck stop garage for many years. I was there through the 70's and 80's .. and the only reasons why the trucker strikes didn't work then , is the same reasons they won't work now ... the average Owner Operator can't afford to stop long enough to make a difference . and the Union drivers ( if there are any left ) won't help , because they are afraid they'll loose they're job. It would take all of them ...or at least ( Most ) to make any difference , and they Just Can't Afford to let the truck sit. . . . . as for the price of Gas , they pretty much set it when and what they want . we was camping in Manchester Tn. in the fall of 2009 when some storm was in the Gulf , and the gas went to $4.99 for regular here and this happened before the storm ever even hit . they was saying it was because of all the damage...... What Damage. around here there was talk about Price Gouging but..I never heard anymore about that. they know the American people will buy it , no matter what the price ... . .maybe not as Much , and Only what we Have to Have to get to and from work... it will take some Hard Choices to help this problem. .... and I don't pretend to know how to do it. :fiddle: [/QUOTE]
