    I completely didnt understand any of that either than our fathers flipping in the dirt due to the coast of oil. Aint no dought!

    My Father was a an independent also.

    Thinking about it, He lead some type of Protest back in the 60's over something to do with the Cole mines in WV.
    I'll have to ask my mother what it was.

    I guess the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree huh?
    If I can help make a change in our industry I will " Somehow ".

    My wife is worried I'll cause PANIC and goto jail! I told her, We'll I shouldnt be in their to long. Once any amount of drivers hear that Im in Jail do to this talk here? It wouldn't be long till THEY themselves helped me get out!

    lol, I had to say that. It crossed my mind too....

    Is there anyways we can get each STATE to join into a group of drivers and just call a Meeting as you will? Like here in the next few weeks just try and round up drivers in EACH state and have SOMEONE from each state lead the topic in the gathered group of drivers?

    I do know that a Highway Shutdown or a STRIKE id very drastic.

    But you all, also know we cant control the other drivers! Just ourselves!

    THEY ARE GOING TO DO, what they Feel they need to do!

    Back to the Petition,
    Someone Re-Write it! And or Also how about really just Printing one OUT with 500 Name spaces, Addresses, Registered voter check box and contact info. Print that out and start handing it to drivers and HAND it OFF from DRIVER to DRIVER!

    The LAST driver or Business to sign it? Either Mail it to ME or Have them mail it straight to Washington?

    It would be passed from Driver Hand to Driver hand?

    Just a thought!

    What we need is a federally mandated linehaul charge $1.25/mile and a variable fuel surcharge based on $1.25/gallon diesel. The current fuel surcharge would be $0.63. ooida has a table illustrating the fuel surcharge and how it works.

    You know that is suspiciously close to the magic $2 that my husband says we need. You are RIGHT!! AND if someone doesn't figure out how to skim more off of it it would work!!
