WiseOne's Comments, I AGREE with a HUGE gas tax hike on CARS...but, trucks should have NONE to bring down prices! IF these buttholes want to drive around in their SUV's, incessantly, make them PAY! Truckers have no choice but to deliver our goods! These buttholes I see driving around all the time with SUV's, boats, etc., do have a choice and they SHOULD pay big time for doing it! I say make American's HURT BAD by tearing their wallets apart on gas...but leave truckers alone!

Rail ( getting freight closer) in conjunction with truck transporting which is what intermodel transportation is, may be the answer to many driver complaints about the company's.The railroads can move freight around the country to distribution centers ect. which make the logistics/costs more efficiant. I am sure if i querry this idea i'll come up with information to validate it. Well, does anyone know about this ? A reduction of trucker hours on the road (i.e. safety concerns),high fuel costs and company equipment/road ware and tear, not to mention the driver shortage, would be the major reasons to adopt such a plan. Look, if a newbie ( going to trucking school soon) is thinking about such a model I'm sure the corporate transportation exec's and politicians are. I'll get some info. soon. I know it's around. thanks.....
