Breaker 1-9: Truckers' strike bantered about

 

Truckers Plan to Park Rigs in Protest on April 1
Created: 3/28/2008

 

I think someone forgot to tell Truck Drivers in New York .I was talking to a couple of truck drivers ,and asked if they were going to shut down for the strike . Well they looked at me as if I was talking Spanish,French or whatever, (i speak good ole English)
They had no idea what on earth I was talking about. They haven't heard about the strike or shut down .. These guys looked so suprised . They said they have their CBs on and listen but have not heard zip........

Truckers Plan Convoy to the State Capitol.

 

It's a newsfeed for traders on Wall Street, and around the world. US Truckers' action is on their radar. Big money is watching global unrest over food and fuel prices. Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, North Asia, and the US of A.

 

Is the strike definitely on for April 1? If so, I'm in. How do I find out just how many people are going to participate? Tryin to find definite answers, someone help me out...please.

 

I can't believe the number oh hits when I search " trucker strike 2008."
