Rising Fuel Prices Worldwide Causing More Truck Strikes

It's all about the cost of fuel...and no matter what it's caused by, speculators, lack of refineries, you name it... there's not a damn thing you can do about it except watch it go up and up.
Yes you can do something about it - quit buying it - sit down and do the math - would you be better off working locally perhaps running heavy equipment. Investing in buying and selling used semis. Sell your own and keep track of everyone that calls and help your friends sell theirs too for a fee. Help yourself while helping others get out of their debt nightmare called trucking. Change is painful but sometimes it is the right thing to do. Just because you have been trucking all your life doesn't mean you have to now. Take control of your life and your finances - think about who is really running things.
