May 16th One Hour Shutdown

dang but if we were all "broke down" with the appropriate road triangles out and 4 ways on..

I dont see what tickets they could possible write.

Instead of always looking for the negitive try looking for something positive..
dont be a pessimist try being an optimist

 

Not a pessimist...nor an optimist! I work with common sense and forethought!

Strikes do no one any good! Been there done that with the teamsters in Vegas back in the late 70's. For the time we lost doing the strike, the "money lost not earned" was never made up. It was lost, gone! And the union didn't care...we got our $75.00 for groceries for the week...and nothing more...who won(?)...the union by increasing our dues to make up for the "expense" of providing our grocery funds!

BS if you ask me....trucks parking on the sides of the roads will do nothing to improve our lot in life or in finance...especially for one hour!

 

I don't see how this would make a difference. We're just going to have to buy fuel one hour later than usual that day.

I thought the reason diesel is high is because many passenger automobiles run on it now...

I remember when diesel was exponentially cheaper than gasoline.

 

Highway diesel is high because there is no alternative....the oil companies have us by the short hairs....nothing moves without diesel...so the price continues to climb.

What few trucks are using natural gas need to be within the area for refill of tanks...the national network is not available...and I haven't heard of any plans to change that!

 

So you have no intentions of disrupting anything?


Then how the #### do you intend to get peoples attention?

 

In one hour....just what could happen?

Oh I get it....a giant meteor could crash into the earth on AlGore's home and destroy any future for Global Warming enthusiasts!

 

What about the 2,998,000 truckers that didn't listen to satellite radio?

The April 1 shutdown worked good. Let's schedule one each month. Maybe one day we'll get it right.

I could see everyone an hour late for delivery and fighting/complaining at the consignee because they can't get unloaded, lol.

 

and the lack of refining capacity near Cushing, OK are believed to be responsible for the higher diesel prices.

What? Where is that? I didn't realize Cushing was the hub for U.S. refining activity. Guess I need to get out more often.
