    I don't want to be negative but, does anybody have an idea what to do next if this doesn't work?

    LOL. Ya, its called bust ### and try to recoup the money you lost from sitting all day Tuesday.

    Look what it took to get this "plan" going. Don't push it. ;)

    I can see a slow down tomorrow, but rolling by the evening.

    Hopefully folks will stay home at least until Monday. One day can't make much difference, except to make the nay-sayers say they were right. It's going to take at least 5 days to make a dent in the stores.

    I am in Iowa, 750 miles from home. I do plan on striking if there is really going to be a strike. I haul oversize and although the fuel is high, so have my rates increased. I'm just wandering if anyone in this area plans to join in. Clear Lake, IA exit 194 I35

    I can say that it sure seems a lot quieter out here right now. I'm west on 80 in central PA. I am going home and will sit and see what's going on. Mid-day we had over 2000 people looking at the strike forums, and has been no more than 500 since.

    Yea, in 750 miles I think you'll be able to hear or see something. Although your not on the most talkative or scenic route in the world. lol

    What are we basing a success on? News reports? Lighter traffic reports? Upheaving the nation? This website? I have to have a source to monitor. My stupid little news station won't pick up the story until the weekend. ;)

    Looking outside at the PILOT, parking is full, fuel islands empty. Radio is quiet as well. Not many trucks on I-35 either. Cooincidense or strike? Who knows, time will tell.
