BHW comments: This is one of the best pieces that I have seen yet, she did a good job pointing out the fact that truckers aren't getting compensated fairly for their loads.

There were 4 of from the local in Harrisburg PA monday - there was an open forum by the penna trucking assoc. - only 9 guys were in attendance - 7 were union freight haulers like me - and 2 were trash hauler OO's
we saw 5 trucks downtown all day...
3 were bobtail trashhaulers owned by Kyle Millisevic from stroudsburg penna.
CBN reported a "convoy"
? -
What was the video I saw on this site, of all the trucks going up into Harrisburg, was that staged?
-
I can not figure that one out - we were right downtown at the forum which was in the capital building -
room 112A I believe - we came out and returned to our cars and drove back to carlise that afternoon...
anyone know the time frame???
our meeting was 9-noon monday...
maybe the video was shot later. -
I think it was while you were in the meeting.
-
Man - I don't think so... - I am a bit confused now since when we left we saw nothing but the usual traffic all the way to the river and across and back to route 11.
on a side not - the irony here was all the guys running "as normal" with red ribbons on their CB antennae!
that is kinda like saying "we support our troops - but we also like to give AL queda donations too!" -
Take a look at this thread and the videos.

wow... watched about 5 videos..
two were listed as "9am" - weird.

we left the building at 12:09 (just looked at what time I called wife on cell)
I know there was a lot of radio buzz and talk but I for one did not see this kinda turnout.
(twilight zone again I suppose) -
I HATE when things like that happen. You know some thing happened but never saw it, and don't know how or why that happened. Leaves a guy with a weird feeling. -
I was in Bayshore new york (long island) on 9/11...
slept right through it.
(super fly comfy sleeper cap with diesel purr putting me to sleep..)
woke up about 6pm and noticed a lot of traffic going towards jersey...
got within 2 miles of GW bridge before I turned my CB on...

22 hours later I was in jersey...
man they did all but strip search us that day...
well anyway - glad to see the videos of the guys in harrisburg...
wish more drivers were present at the forum - we had 2 local press members there joting down notes - but I think they would have been better set to gain info by having the forum at the petro in carlisle.
