This is going to be big trouble for our economy. And count on truckers striking eventually. The small ones are losing their a**es.

Those who pass on fuel cost can keep going indefinitely. Those who eat their own fuel cost will not be driving much longer. Strike = nothing except possible calling out the troops

“And count on truckers striking eventually.”


I’m surprised they haven’t already.
Eventually, it will reach a ‘tipping point’.

When stores can’t get food....

To quote an old phrase,”The next revolution is three missed meals away.”

My husband is an 0/0 and he said on his last fill up the pump stopped at $950, and he wasn’t full. There’s trucking co.’s going out of business so these stations are capping it. Maybe it’s more because the pump can’t compute the $1000.00 mark? I don’t know, but alot of smaller co.s are going out of business.
