If I recall right there where I believe 3 trucks on the NJ turnpike on April 1st that slowed waaay down..they had just as much publicity than the convoy..many truckers still driving..soo slowdown would have the benefit to safe fuel, draw attention and would have a bigger participation rate??
JMHO..your thoughts??
an added benefit..you piss tons of people off!!

Slow down would put a hurt on alot. all those people tring to get to work. The everyday hussle of the regular office working class..................I like that. When? only lets plan it right this time.
Weeelll..I think it should be FAST..as a direct answer to the oil spike! People are still pee'd off..I know I am!
yea, but we need to get the word out. And it spreads faster on C.b.
everyone can contribute not just the trucks.
Hell I can force the local rock haulers into it. On the 5th I had them at a crawl for running..lol
I think it is time to face the cold hard facts. If Diesel starts to rise again next week (and it will, it is just a question of how much) We won't have to worry about a shutdown, a slow down or anything else, it will be all over for us, unless people are going to get out their and litterally run their trucks for FREE.

The word needs to be out on the road or someone could get hurt.
we dont need them running 10 at 60 m.p.h.+ and come up on a crawl because they did'nt know.
pick a date and get the word out, I'm sure because of the potenal danger the papers and T.V. stations will run with it.

Well I don't believe "overplaning" will help..crap the government is talking and talking and doing NOTHING..maybe just hang a sign on the truck and slow down..hopefully people will join in..get the word out too..cb, radio (sirius) OOIDA..so truckers know whats going on..need to find the minimum LEGAL speeds for each state.. Speed limits in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minimum speed limits
In addition to the legally defined maximum speed, minimum speeds may be required. There is little evidence to suggest they are enforced.[citation needed]
Connecticut limited-access divided highways have a minimum speed of 40 mph (65 km/h),[106] but they are not always posted.
Hawaii has a minimum speed posted along much of Interstate H-1 of only 10 mph below the speed limit. The minimum speed is usually 45 mph when the speed limit is 55, and 40 mph when the speed limit is 50.
Illinois interstate highways are usually posted with both minimum and maximum speed limits, except in some urban areas, particularly Chicago. The minimum speed is almost always 45 mph.[citation needed]
Iowa rural interstates have a maximum speed limit of 70 mph and a minimum speed limit of 40 mph, and U.S. Highway 20 between Interstate 35 and Dubuque also has a 40 mph minimum speed, even though its interstate-quality road is signed at a 65 mph maximum. Other four-lane divided rural highways are signed at 65 mph, with no minimum speed (with the purpose of allowing slow-moving farm vehicles to use the road as well).
Michigan freeways are usually posted with both minimum and maximum speeds. The minimum speed is currently 55 mph for all vehicles, despite a maximum speed limit of 60 mph for trucks — effectively permitting trucks only a 5-mph range of legal speeds.[15]
Mississippi has a minimum speed of 30 mph on four-lane U.S. highways when no hazard exists. Strangely, there is no law for the minimum speed of the state's growing number of four-lane state highways. The minimum is 40 mph on Interstate highways and on 4 lane U.S. designated highways which have a 70 mph speed limit, but this minimum shall be posted.[107] In 2004, Mississippi posted minimum speed limits (40 mph) on all rural Interstates, but this minimum speed limit was already state law before the widespread posting.
New Hampshire has a minimum speed of 45 mph for all sections of Interstate Highway where the speed limit is 65 mph.[citation needed]
New Mexico has a minimum left lane speed of 65 mph for all sections of Interstate Highway where the speed limit is 75 mph.
In New York State, a minimum speed limit of 40 mph has been set on the entire length of Interstate 787 and the entire length of The Long Island Expressway. The New York State Thruway does not have a firm minimum speed, but there are signs advising drivers to use their flashers when traveling at speeds below 40 mph.
North Carolina has blanket minimum speed limits on interstate and primary highways only when signs are posted. The minimum is 40 mph if the maximum is 55 mph. The minimum is 45 mph if the maximum is at least 60 mph. These minimums do not apply to vehicles that are towing other vehicles.[109]
Ohio posts minimum speed limits of 35 mph in the downtown areas of Akron and Cleveland, where the maximums are generally 50 mph.[citation needed] There is also a minimum speed of 45 mph posted on Interstate 70 in downtown Columbus, where the maximum limit is 55 mph.
Oklahoma has minimum speed limits posted on more or less all interstate highways that are 25 mph below the maximum speed limit. For example, on the turnpikes, which have a maximum speed limit of 75 mph, they are nearly always accompanied by a sign stating a minimum speed limit of 50 mph.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike has a minimum speed limit of 15 mph below the speed limit. Therefore, the minimum speed is 50 mph when the speed limit is 65 mph, and 40 mph when the speed limit is 55 mph. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission also states that vehicles that cannot maintain this speed on a level road may not use the turnpike. This minimum speed is not generally posted. Motorists are required to use flashers when traveling below 50 MPH on Pennsylvania freeways with a 65 MPH speed limit and below 40 MPH for highways with a 55 MPH limit.
In Tennessee, a minimum speed limit of 45 mph (70 km/h) is effective in some metropolitan areas where the speed limit is 55 mph (90 km/h) or 65 mph (105 km/h).[citation needed]
In Texas, I-10 within the El Paso city limits has a minimum speed limit of 45 mph.

It was reported as "Trucks as far as the eye could see." I had found reports of anywhere from 250 trucks to 350 trucks which participated in that slow-down. I also found reports of participants stating there would have been hundreds more if it weren't for the concern of being arrested and vehicles impounded for such a huge gathering. If need be, I will try to locate the articles from archives.

I do not know the exact numbers..BUT I do remember there was a chopper in the air and they interrupted programming to show the 2 or 3 trucks that "made a jam"

Yea, but what you are saying is, stay off the interstate if you want to run. If every one drove at least 10 to 15 under know matter what road you drove would'nt it be more effective. Which if you looked at IIronmans post the avg. is 10 to 15 under the posted and since this is not just the the trucks and some states differ in trucks to car speeds. In a avg. month I might need to drive 75, maybe once if that, I take the back roads . I live off a road trucks use to bypass the scale, It's 45 m.p.h. then 55 m.p.h. The cars use it because they can make up time rather then driving 75. Is this just the trucks or everyone?

If, and I say if, you got 300-400 trucks (vehicles) participating in a slowdown, who in their right mind would even consider impounding vehicles? In the first place, it would cost a small fortune to do, and would take quite some time and planning to get it done. This government thrives on scare tactics. They have the people so bullshitted and scared that they don't want to do a damn thing anymore for fear of what their government might do to them. Have you ever heard of Safety In Numbers? Believe me, there is an awful lot to it.
kool, I can really mess with the rock haulers............................
and everyone else who does not join in.
That means everyone except for emergency joins the slowdown.
on every road.Weather your going to the store or work.
because if you dont someone ahead of you will.
pick a date.............................................. .
