Truckers are going Galt. They intend to shutdown Washington D.C. We can all participate in the national strike by several means.

    It's the bottom line for him. He'd have to get a load there and back, but he might if that happened. I'll see him again tomorrow so I'll ask.

    Is he of the mind that he would if he could? I wonder what other truckers think about this. They are a very independent bunch.

    I talked to my trucker friend and he hadn't heard anything about it. He wouldn't have gone anyway because he only wants to run the 14 western.

    Owner/operators only make money when that truck is rolling with a load. There is a concerted effort to put the owner/operator and small trucking firms out of business, so I'm surprised the strike wouldn't be about that rather than Benghazi. I'll call my trucker friend in a while and see if he even knows about this. I'll report back later.

    I applaud their efforts, but their statement needs some serious editing.

    I concur. When truckers have obstructed traffic in the past, it has made big waves even the MSM could not ignore. We shall see...

    I would appreciate the feedback. My brother in law is a driver, but not an owner/operator, so I don't think his boss would appreciate an unscheduled road trip to Washington with his truck...

    This could be effective. Virtually everything is moved by truck.
