    just call the press and say you were driving your car home and you saw a "whole bunch" of semi's pulled over on an overpass with strike signs on them and you want to now if they are covering it so you can hear about it when ya get home.

    Its escalating, I am almost positive that it will happen. i used to say that we would run even f it hit $10 a galoon, but now i am not so sure.


    i feel its catching wind, and if one wants to be part of history in the making, ne best give it some serious thought. tomorrow if i am out there and someone says lets shut er down now, i am on it. mainly because i want to be a part of something big. and this is BIG! plain and simple.

    We Need to STRESS this to ALL the drivers if they dont comply the dont comply... DELIVER YOUR customers GOODS...

    We are all known for that! We Do whats Right, we help one another and WE take care of our customers freight.

    It's ALWAYS been that way!

    Thats not good publicity to the company we are leased to or who's freight we are hauling...

    NO NO NO... rofl...
