The Independent Truck Driver Dilema & Strike

We see them on our streets, freeways and highways. We often pass them off as those damn trucks whizzing by or scaring us. But the fact is the independent trucker is just like us. they have families, homes, mortgages and bills just like you and me. But in this ever expanding global economy the independent trucker is experiencing a big squeeze. With the rise in the cost of crude oil, so goes the cost of diesel fuel to drive the trucks which bring the goods to market that we all crave. Unfortunately the truckers wages arent growing to meet those rising costs of fuel because of the expanding global market and our ever increasing desire for "that better deal". Prices are going up on everything. From groceries to gas, clothing to household services, costs are going up. And the independent trucker is feeling that too. A strike is in the works and could severly impact prices further.

Very cool other services. Voice Box lets me leave a message about organizing that anyone can call 24/7!
The message center has 15 mail boxes that even email me when someone leaves a message so I don't fill up my small cell phone mail box!
