Independent Truckers Planning Shutdown

Crude oil is running $100 a barrel and it costs $50 instead of $35 to fill your car, but you carpool occasionally and watch the number of trips across town so you're doing all right so far.

Take a good lookk arround at the diesel pickups, super large suv's with boats being pulled behind.... Do you think these people really give a flip? Not much because they can afford not only their toys, but the gas that goes in them. Now I work as many hours that I can (and have for 45 yrs) and still can't afford to retire. All my gas purchases goes on a credit card!
