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

- 1Posted by $ rockymountainpirate 11 years, 7 months ago in reply to this comment.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.Permalink|

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.Permalink|

- 1Posted by ObjectiveAnalyst 11 years, 7 months ago in reply to this comment.I concur. When truckers have obstructed traffic in the past, it has made big waves even the MSM could not ignore. We shall see...Permalink|
- 1Posted by ObjectiveAnalyst 11 years, 7 months ago in reply to this comment.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...Permalink|
