Truckers protesting fuel costs

Independent truckers around the country pulled their rigs off the road and others slowed to a crawl on major highways in a loosely organized protest of high fuel prices.

Could this be the return of the train? (Well, for everyone except West "Rails To Trails" Virginia)

Maybe if the truckers would run the speed limit and not 10 mph above, they maybe could save on fuel. Just a thought.

True, genlock, that fuel savings would increase, but it seems that truckers are trying to push that goal to its ultimate realization by coming to a complete stop!

You can't afford to run your truck.
You must run the truck to fulfill your contracts.
You stop your truck.
Business plan.
