Why are we so concerned with fuel prices?

Will increased fuel costs put you out of business?

    I won't run much below 62 and prefer 65 with 80 being an option if I'm empty in Nebraska .
    I prefer slower speeds that keep the idiots passing me that think trucking is a race and I can get stopped when they wreck .
    Time will tell if fuel pricing gets theyre attention and if not the used truck market may loosen up due to repos .

    Good thing truckers protested the mandates 3 years too late after 95% of university students are vax’d, your kids have been masked for 3 years, government established authority/power they don’t have and everyone who didn’t want the jabs has been fired.

    Brilliant.

    See you guys in 3 years to protest these high fuel prices and low rates.
