[lunachic]

are you going to help figure out a plan of action or just sit around and ?
Your trucks are really gonna suck as planters,
I wish I knew how to do one of those polls,cause I wonder how many of you really have any care at all about trucking.
Sitting around on the couch bitchen is not going to fix this.
I bet not a one of you can even come up with one idea!

My old 74 Ford Range/Wagon with the sets out makes a great greenhouse for starting plants for the garden.

I emailed 16 Bloomberg business journalists from around the world, 8 Congressmen, six newspapers, 4 members of the U.S. Energy Dept, and 341 or so people in my email address book, with the following.

Hey grey, I've been doing the same. Then I painted my deck. Tomorrow I'll hound em again. So yeah, Luna we got some ideas. Wanna fight about it? Just kiddin. lol

[lunachic]

lets write a story,
When I lived in the perfect world, but I never knew it. I went about my life beliving of rights and freedom.
I could go to the store and feed my family well for $100. aweek.
Everyweek-end we would wash and clean and look at the big rig sitting in our drive.
Sometimes we would have bbq's, and sit there drinking a few cold beers and talk about the times we had on the road.
Trucks would line the road, we played music ate well make fun of movies that had trucks in them, after all only a driver would pick-up on all the bloopers.
lot's of good stories of the road.
Anyone like to tell some?

ur right I just posted on it,

[lunachic]

Ok, I give up, just not worth it,hubby gone weeks at a time, for whats left that works out to our pay what ever the fuel sur charge is. last week .48 per mile, to get the food and such to the warehouse, to pay a lumper who make's more then a truck, cause of union rules, so the warehouse can have there trucks del. to the stores.Who's drivers are paid by the hour with benifits.
And not one person can figure out what will happen when the o/o and small trucking co. are gone.
That's pretty sad. was hoping someone would realize what life will become with out the indep.But I guess not.
Just understand once we are gone it will be forever, if we dont stop it now there is know turning it around.
night everyone

What do you have in mind? Boycotting an oil company is a flash in the pan. A rally around Washington just cost money and gets us nowhere. What the hell do YOU think we should do?
