Trucker protest convoys to D.C.

“Your food, toys, computers, they're all hauled by truck drivers. The backbone of our trucks is diesel fuel to power them. And this rise in cost is hurting trucks, in turn hurting supplies to your stores.”

Drivers from 27 states, including Pennsylvania, are heading to Washington DC in hopes of gaining some attention. via WHP-TV Harrisburg

Ya know, IT just blows me away. FOX NEWS had min. coverage on this, but over and over on this bigot Rev.jw, who cares shut up already.

My other thought was the lack of TRUCKER'S that showed up!(400) I too wish I could of been there, but that's money on fuel I can't afford, I SUPPORTED the shutdown JAN 03-08, also APR 01-05, NOW MAY 01! I can't afford to play around with you guys any more! I'll continue to show my support diving 55mph, while you all blow my doors off, and that red ribbon on my left mirror, will still be there, the only one I've seen, So whenever you guys get your $HIT TOGEATHER I'll be out here waiting on ya, ready to SHUT THIS BIG RIG DOWN Wherever, Whenever it your call...SHOW ME SOME NUMBERS.........OR JUST GO BROKE
I commend the guys that made it there but what did it gain, The Government ELITIES probably had a good laugh, these ASSJACKS just don't get it.

All AMERICAN'S NEED TO MAKE A STAND, UNTILL WE DO NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE..........

Hate to be the bearer of bad news and all BUT these protests are useless without OOIDA'a support. Untill that happens and there is a MASS shutdown, you know more than a few hundred trucks, no one will look. Maybe if all the trucks delivering to Walmart just didn't deliver and sat in the parking lot blocking the entrance, maybe that would make the news.

I just don't understand the american public, prices are higher every day,everyone is whining and crying and fussing about gas,diesel,milk,bread,etc. The oil giants are laughing,congress don't care, opec is breaking it off in us, and we just suck on it! Untill the public, not just truckers, make a stand, it's never going to get better.So WAKE UP AMERICA or shut up and keep sucking.
