    I'm guilty as all the rest but this thread's purpose was to discuss PRICE not what was causing it.

    Lets get back on topic. I can split some of these posts off to form a new thread if you guys like.

    Hello guys and girls....


    Im a newbie here, my name is Mike, and I'm just gonna get right to it.

    I am not a trucker, I've never been even closely associated with one. However, I have thought of you guys alot lately, especially "Owner/Operators", the guys that don't get fuel breaks or discounts...

    I realize how important 'ALL' of you are to us, and that without your work, much of america would go hungry.

    It isnt just the fuel prices that worry me for you guys, but the threat from Mexican drivers and companies as well.

    I wanted to open my posting here by letting you know, that you have been in my thoughts in prayers for sometime now, and I will continue to remind others just how vital you guys are to all of us.....

    Thank you,
    Mike R. from TN

    You know what the sad part about this thread is, in 5 years from now when we look in this thread and see an old picture of the pump price of $4.25 were going to wish it was $4.25 again if were still trucking then...
