    Nope, $500 dollar payment, which isn't nothing compared to some of you. but with a $22,000 Pete I am not going to complain, but with that and only clearing 700-1100/week is starting to lower each week, is going to break it for me.

    Apparently the price isn't high enough yet............. 50 to 60 degrees and trucks all around me are idling away just like before.


    I don't get it!

    here is what I am waiting for, there is going to be a small strke started somewhere by 20 30 maybe 50 truckers and its going to hit the news as soon as I hear about it i am going to shutdown and get on the puter ,cell phone and the good ol cb and let people know that it has started and now is the time, it shouldn't take more than 12 hours if everyone would do the same that the business is shut down, it is the pack mentality, once this gets started it is going to go like wildfire mainly because 90% of the truckers are pi**ed and are just looking for a way to vent their frustrations,
    Like I said last night the industry is a powder keg just looking for a match
