Perfect Fuel Prices!

I myself really am not whining about going broke. I can just sell my truck before I get in to deep and go somewhere else. As a matter of fact, I was in the situation of getting out of the military, paying for my own college which I have a year left, and going to do something else with my life other then trucking. I am speaking for the ones that I know who are to deep in this ##### and who can't do anything other then to fight for their jobs, investments and etc.... So your nose thats high in the air thinking you know the solution, and tells everyone else to quit crying, blah blah blah and do something, well what exactly are you doing other then getting on here too and suggesting other solutions. How about you go and do a little to back up your ideas mister professional super trucker, instead of putting others down.

 

Where is your solution Sir?

What part of Striking was not my my first choice did you not get????

Being independent has its benefits and its detriments. By striking, we're calling to attention our conditions. If attaining attention helps to get the public on our side, it may put pressure on congress to permit us to become Energy Independent.

Do you not realize the immediate impact on crude and natural gas futures that if the president announced that congress agreed to let us extract oil and gas off of California, Alaska, Florida? The traders would be pulling their money out right now and the futures would nose dive even before one drilling rig was moved to any of the "known" fields. Add to that the permission to build and/or expand refineries and power plants. The speculators would be motivated to put money back in to securities, the dollar would once again be the monetary benchmark instead of the *&^%*& Euro.

That's my solution...getting the public involved and educating them. Because if we fail, the only options are the bottom feeders, and the Mexican trucks. Both of which don't give a rat's behind for safety.

Do you have something better or are you going to castigate me for adding my opinion/solution to the problem?

 

You dont sound like you own any trucks, im making money, i am not going to go broke as the only payment i have is the truck and thats not even worth to be called a truck payment, which will soon be paid for. Go join OOIDA or something and sue the government with them, im sure you will get a QUICK response! Or better yet just keep asking for a higher fuel price, its drivers like you that are blind!

 

Takes a lot to make me gasp when I'm reading but this did... I don't think that adults expressing their concern, problem solving, theories, fears, etc. should be turned into a pissing party. It shouldn't be a bragging party for the halves and have nots nor personal attacking somebody for their thoughts.
The bottom line is there IS a big problem, HUGE problem and something needs to be done.
