Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Truckers Strike Forum We all hear of a trucker strike. Let's put all the trucker strike threads in here, please so they will more organized. What do YOU think of a trucker strike due to outrageous fuel prices? The April 1st strike fizzled as expected. $5/gal. or more MAY make truckers stand together...if even then.

So what are you saying? Do you think there will be a day where there is NO trucks on the road? I didn't think so......


How many people said that when gas prices get to $3 a gallon they would stop driving their cars to work? Probally alot of them, now out of all those people who said they wouldn't pay the prices how many are still paying over $3 a gallon for gas?

Lets quit whinning about the fuel prices and start rasing what we charge to haul their freight.

thats funny right there, In Frankfurt germany the current price of gas (convereted to gallons and dollars) is $5.57 a gallon of fuel! But isn't the Euro strong right now? Europeans hae been paying WAY more then us for some serious time now but the Euro is STRONG.
