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.

Mid-day here, truck traffic is as high or higher than it's been in the past. I agree- this is way too disorganized to have a real affect. It'll be seen as a few people in a few places protesting, and everyone will just shrug it off. Good thought, good intentions, but poor execution.

I'm hearing that in North Carolina CB chatter about the strike is non-existent and trucks are on the road as usual.

The upside is that I've found more info than ever before on the shutdown online today. Maybe when more drivers get to taking their breaks later today/tonight there will be more parking their trucks.
