The high cost of fuel...time to unite on a shutdown and do something about it.

Get back to me on the OUTCOME , oh wait NOT GOING to work , because the minute I park my trucks , my customers will be looking at the 20+ bottom dwellers banging on the door to get their FREIGHT.

 

i don't know about others, but I actually make MORE revenue when the fuel prices go up.....

 

Like SHC says, if you have a good fuel surcharge program in place, higher fuel prices can bring in revenue above and beyond the increase in fuel cost, especially if you are fuel efficient.

And I would like the OP to explain to me how shutting down the transportation system in the US will change the GLOBAL price of oil, which is the biggest driving factor in the fuel price.

 

I get FSC on 6.5 mpg and actually get 7.5-8. Fuel can go as high as it likes, and Ill geep raking in the difference

 

Seems some think that a shutdown is the RESPONSE to everything , but do not realize it WILL NEVER HAPPEN , try and get 4 truck drivers to decide on LUNCH and see the hassle now magnify that to the co ordination of a NATIONWIDE shutdown.

 

Heck, i can't even agree on where to go to dinner with the fiance LOL

 

Darn, I'm all out of sick days! Oh well, maybe next year.

 

Remember when the air traffic controllers tried this in the 80's Reagan fired them all and then banned them from ever working as controllers again. Oh then got different people in there to fill pulling people from all over including the military. So all they really gained was loosing there jobs and if trucking went down I imagine it would fall into the same provisos that would allow them to use the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 Just saying

 

sick days what are those???
