April 1st (Yes, I know that is April Fools day) is scheduled a 1 day truck shutdown. Most of those participating are owner operators, and they are doing this due to fuel prices. Those already under a load are encouraged to deliver it, and not to cause too many problems. They arent looking to crash what is left of our economy. I was listening to a trucker radio program last night, and whole owner/operator fleets are going to shut down. This is also getting MSM exposure. These guys are pissed. Some were willing to shut down for a week or more. How this translates to actual numbers, your guess is as good as mine.
I know that this is not the 1st time this has been brought up, but I am getting a different vibe from this. Things are reaching the breaking point, and if this snowballs, watch out.
Take this for what you think it's worth.
