BrianR--Last night on the local news they interviewed a local trucker lady. She mentioned that maybe people don't care for the truckers but they move America. I see what you're saying about the slow-down causing more ill will, but it's silly that people have that attitude. I, for one, appreciate what you have to do. It can't be an easy job. Go truckers.

As for the strike, I think it's at least a small way to maybe get people to see how hard the fuel prices are on the trucking companies, and especially on the independent truckers.

You guys aren't a bunch of (insert company here, I will decline) people making 35 bucks an hour who strike every time someone looks at you sideways, and expecting the industry to figure out a way to survive and to hell with the future. You are trying to protect your livelihood.

I applaud the truckers!
