    Peopel are saying they see normal truck traffic but what I have seen is normal local truck and big company truck traffic. I see very few independant trucks out here.
    Back to my 50mph trip. Nobody shoot me please, already almost got run off the road!

    I'm seeing normal truck traffic here as far as big company trucks ."Faux" news has started playing the "poor shippers/company drivers are scared of impending violence against them if THEY don't shut down" angle to the story now.How the hell they get away with calling themselves a news agency is beyond me.

    This has turned out to be a bust. As I roll thru Az its just another day with the same amount of trucks.

    No organization just alot of CB bellowing.

    I've been parked for a week. I just hope the true solution to the problem gets realized and resolved. I have been trying to get some hhg drivers that I know to participate as well. Has anyone else noticed the increase in bobtails and abandoned equipment?

    this has just started and already you are about to give up, oops I just saw that you are rolling and never even gave it a thought to support your fellow drivers that are trying to help you

    Non truckers are not seeming to understand this very well.We turned a regular customer down yesterday to move a dozer for him today.He really wasn't to crazy about it but he agreed to reschedule(he needs to learn to call further in advance anyway).He said I was only costing us money because nobody else was going to shut down and since now I'm only working a day or two a week, he said he really couldn't understand it...Way to show support huh???This thing needed MUCH better PR work before it took off.

    Yes I am rolling under a good paying produce load. I don't realy care how my fellow trucker is doing, they do not put food on my table. As a INDEPENDANT I will do what ever I have to do (legally and safely ) to be number 1. Business wise I will cut someones throat before they cut mine.

    The days of one for all and all for one are over.
