Two communiques from Trucker Strike at MySpace:
S. 2910
This Act may be cited as the `Trust in Reliable Understanding of Consumer Costs Act' or the `TRUCC Act'.
To contact your Senators and your Representative in the House, call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and provide the operator with your home zip code. The operator will connect you with the offices of your elected representatives. To voice your opinion on the TRUCC ACT.
And this bit of real-life horror:
OK we all read about truckers getting robbed and loads getting stolen from them on a daily basis from all over the United States. Or at least I do but it hits home now.
Tonight (5/19-08) while my husband was waiting to get fuel in Maryland. A man came up to him and demanded that he give him all of his money. The man had his hand in his pocket like he was holding a gun. He obviously was not too smart considering my husband was still in his truck but had the window down. Husband told him to hang on, grabbed his gun and stuck it in the man's face and told him he better be moving on. The man ran off and nobody was hurt but this could have been tragic. I honestly do not know what I would have done if this would have turned negative real fast. Concealed weapons permits DO come in handy after all.
So for all the drivers out there please please be careful anywhere you stop and no matter what you are doing keep your doors locked and your eye balls and ears open. I hear about truckers getting robbed a lot or their loads getting stolen and I have a bad feeling it is only going to get worse.
Stay Safe.
Yes, stay safe! With diesel fuel so expensive, find a way to prevent siphoning. And watch your back while filling that tank!
God bless the American trucker!
