I can't imagine it happening, but I am convinced that the only way that the industry will get any message is if a very large percentage of truckers park their rigs for a day all on the same day. THEN it might be a statement that will get some attention. And even then it's still just a MIGHT get some attention.  |
Something like what you are describing was attempted earlier this month. The problem was that it wasn't a very organized protest. Eight miles of trucks is a significant number of trucks, especially when they are all blowing their horns. What I think needs to happen is that the US needs to stop depending on foreign oil. I read that, just in Alaska, we have enough oil to support our needs for at least 100 years.
