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.

Get a lot of crude oil at the pump do you?

Just kidding.

There is significant lag in prices going down, unlike when they go up.

OK Ronno I see your point and concede its a good one.


HOWEVER...........explain this...... when the price of crude goes up the price at the pump sky rockets like an F-16 getting out of town.



But when it drops the price at the pump trickles down like a hot air balloon.

Well. I know a lot, but not everything.

Can't answer that one. I suppose I could find the answer somewhere.
