Trucker not taking on loads because of fuel cost.
Spoke with a client yesterday who said that he has not worked in 4 weeks due the the rising cost of fuel.

It seems to me that maybe we could do a fuel bailout for the truckers. This way, they get back on the road and the increased cost of shipping does not get passed on to every business and then on to the consumer.

If we can give billions to Ukraine, why can't we help Americans?

Truckers should not have wasted precious fuel, driving around Canada protesting and such.

Same here, I think they drove to DC for a "protest "

Re: Trucker not taking on loads because of fuel cost.
I just had to increase a trucking cost by 200% to cover my fuel cost. The old fee was $200 and the new fee is $600. This is going to a farmer only 4 hrs away.

Anyone who thinks truckers won't stop trucking because of this..you are wrong.

By the way...it has nothing to do with the freedom convoy. This has to do with TPTB wanting to starve us out...plain and simple.

Re: Trucker not taking on loads because of fuel cost.
I do roadside assistance and I've been on strike for 4 weeks as well. I've been building gazebos and making good money doing that and I'm going to sit out of the roadside assistance game until the motor club start paying more money.

Re: Trucker not taking on loads because of fuel cost.
I think for this trucker it was more about economics than it was protest. I'm sure he would love to be on the road making income for his family. But when your fuel cost has doubled but the load pay hasn't, may as well sit home and not make money rather than be gone from home a week and make no money.

I agree with the poster who said it's intentional. I just don't get how wrecking the economy helps the elite or the rich in any way.

How does keeping people in poverty benefit those in power? Most of us would love to just be able to make our living and mind our own business. It seems like they are just pushing us to the brink.

Watched about half of 1984 last night. So familiar, the constant barrage of fake news in the movie mirrors real life right now.

Thanks to all who contributed to the thread.

Because that would make way too much sense and actually help Americans- something this satanic, illegitimate administration is completely against.

Great idea, though.
