Trucker Strike
Anybody notice anything today? These guys cant get nothing straight... These clowns today was talking about blocking up the NJ pike. I was trying to coach them into it! .. I would've loved to seen them all lined up. Anyways, guys on Sirius was calling in saying the strike is the 3rd... another said 5th thru 8th... Who knows... I didn't see much going on in PA or NJ. I did hear they were protesting on the NJ pike rest stop for a lil bit. Keep on trucking ......

On New Jersey's Turnpike, southbound rigs "as far as the eye can see" staged a short lunchtime protest by moving at about 20 mph near Newark — jamming traffic on one of the nation's most heavily traveled highways.
At a Turnpike rest area in North Jersey, about 200 truck drivers carried signs and protested high fuel prices.
Outside Chicago, three truck drivers were ticketed for impeding traffic on Interstate 55, driving three abreast at low speeds.
Near Florida's Port of Tampa, more than 50 tractor-trailer rigs sat idle as their drivers demanded that contractors pay them more to cover their fuel and other costs.
Truckers drove around the state Capitol building in Harrisburg, Pa., March 31, honking their horns, in a protest organized by Myerstown owner-operator Mark Kirsch, leased to Rose Transportation of Pitcairn. Kirsch said he began organizing after the price of diesel increased 75 cents in two weeks.
These are just a few I remember hearing off of the CB today.
Anyway, there trying.....watch out who you are calling a "CLOWN" by the way.

yep just remember us CLOWNS deliver 97% of every thing you own!!
we are not clowns we are extremely hard working people who do our best out here.
just remember you wont hear about those 10 drivers who stopped on the side of the road to save a family of people who wrecked their car but yet you will hear about that 1 driver who was in an accident involving the 4 wheeler every night.
and its a PROVEN FACT that 77% of all truck crashes last year (2007) were the fault of the 4 wheeler not the fault of the truck driver.
just remember that when you call us drivers CLOWNS!!

One more black eye for my industry....
This was an ill fated, poorly organized mission to nowhere. They couldn't even get the date uniformly agreed upon. The only reason that it got any coverage at all is because the news media loves to demonize truck drivers.
How embarrassing.
