With the cost of fuel on the rise, some are feeling the pinch in more ways than one.
Some truckers say they are so fed up with the cost of diesel fuel, they are going to strike April 1st.
Todd Wiggins is one of the owner operators planning to put his truck in park. Wiggins says he has to pay for his own fuel, and with the cost of fuel on the rise, it's hurting his pocket.
"If you run hard in a week you may spend $2,000 to $3,000 dollars on diesel,"says Wiggins.
He says big rigs hold around 300 gallons on average, but they only get about seven miles per gallon.
By parking their trucks to get their message across, he says it may hurt everyone.
"If we're down for a day or three days, you know you may see prices in the grocery store rise,"says Wiggans.
