  • whats the average mpg for euro rigs

  • she said 16 wheelers

  • sure does history does repeat itself...sorry for such late reply

  • if that doesnt hapen and the whole eliminating-the-middle-class does happen, expect many nations to fall to middle-eastern super-powers in 50-100 years just like the roman empire. like teachers say, "history repeats itself"

  • owner operators are going out of business??? truck drivers are middle class along with cops, teachers, and firefighters. those ritch fukers are happy because they dont worry about this shit. i hope the good old days of $1.22 a gallon of diesel would come back. every high price today would fall

  • i know this is off topic but the whole digital tv thing is to obiously free up tv antenna signal that would be for rfid chips those corporate son of a bitches want to implant on everyone. how will they do it??? through the food u and i eat. this is all true what im saying. the iraq war was a false thing...no wmd's were found. nafta was used for the benefit of rockafeller and other powerful fams and a sick plan to elimitate the middle class so only ritch and poor exist. wonder why so many

  • jamal, true. its ridiculus

  • It's a lot worse here in the UK I pay about $8.50 a US gallon... You guys complain but you have it so easy compared to the lorry industry here and normal people...I'm not saying you don't have it hard, But lorry drivers here don't only have high fuel costs to compete with, other lorrys that come from frnace where fuel is cheaper, hence foreign lorrys are more competative if they don't fill up here! $4.5 pergallon is a stupid amount of tax.. You guys pay little tax it could be worse!!

  • Fuel then brokers hiding under a umbrella of secrecy, 935 carriers with 10 or more trucks fell last month. Costs are up at the store, but rates are not being passed to the trucks. The middle guys are padding their pockets. The shippers are dictating the rates. Big bank brokers. When secrecy of rates is allowed, people become very Powerful. Consumers pay a high price for this secrecy.

    We have no negotiation out here. We could use the consumers help to tell Congress what is going on. Corruption!

  • fuck you
