    The scary part is there are always those few who take things to the extreme and don't think things through to the end results. Hopefully everyone will be able to talk some sense into the ones who get out of hand..................

    I am parking my trucks Monday the 24th even if only for a day or two. I have contacted my customers and they are behind us. I met with our Congressman last month and his office has emailed or called me every week since then. I even had two of our customers and the local Freightliner dealer write letters to the Congressman about the effects of high fuel prices. Everyone's talking, let's start on Monday and acually do something. Stay home an extra day or two for Easter, see what happens. Join our convoy next month in Indiana!!
