There is going to be a Truckers Strike on April3 - 7 in Georgia and in a few other states. We depend on our truckers more than we realize. They haul trees out of the woods so we can have toilet paper, newspaper, and so on. They haul our groceries to the store. They probally haul almost everything that you bring into your home. The I W W Union has called and said that they will be shutting their trucks down on April first to support the truckers strike. These 16,000 trucks use 5,066,400.00 dollars worth of fuel a day. Some truckers have already shut down. Some will start on April second, but most of us are striking from April 3-7. I am asking for your help. Fill up your vehincle on later than April second. Don't buy gas for four days. Let's show Washington that we need some relief by sticking together. Diesel fuel is $4.00 and up a gallon. One guy worked all week and because it took so much fuel that week for him to work, at the end of the week he owed his boss $11.0. One trucker we talked to brought home $33.00 for a weeks worth of work. Another trucker brought home $78.00 for a weeks worth of work. What if you had been away from your family all week trying to make a living and when you got your check it was $78.00? Could you live off that? Let's work together to get the price of gas and diesel fuel back low to a reasonable price. Don't buy gas or diesel fuel April 3, 2008 - April 7, 2008. Please send this to everyone you know and spread this through word of mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
