    This image is fresh out of my PHOTOSHOP. My sites ready to publish new stuff this week. And I've parked the trucks for the week.

    I was informed today we MAY or may not have a lease when we return. I said I've got to stand behind my brotherhood and if so, them I was looking for a LEASE when I found your's!

    ITS TIME BROTHERS! BE STRONG!
    All the best,

    Here's one. I sent in an email to these people about 2 week's ago and there's finally something on it here.


    "
    Rumors of a possible truck driver strike are speeding up around the country and here in the Ark-La-Tex.
    The word at truck stops around Shreveport is that at midnight Tuesday morning, independent truck drivers will park their rigs and hit the picket line.
    Many of the drivers we spoke with say diesel fuel prices are so outrageous they're hardly able to turn a profit.
    Many drivers believe if the strike is successful, it could bring the country to a halt in a matter of days.
    Truck Driver Gene Hobson said, "Everything to the consumer is hauled on a truck an average to five times between raw materials and finished product."
    There is no centralized organizer for the strike. Word is being passed to truckers CB to CB."

    This is for the Shreveport I-20/I-49 and surrounding area's. Shot at the Flying hook off 20.
