Truckers Clog New Jersey Turnpike in Price Protest (Update3)
By Chris Dolmetsch
April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Truckers clogged the New Jersey Turnpike and other
highways today, slowing traffic to as low as 20 mph (32 kph) as part of a
nationwide protest against surging diesel fuel prices, a spokesman for
the highway said.
Trucks moved slowly at various points along the 148-mile (238-kilometer)
turnpike this afternoon, and about 200 drivers gathered at the Vince
Lombardi Rest Area in Bergen County, said Joe Orlando, a spokesman for
the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. The highway has a maximum speed limit
of 65 mph.
``It's time to say, enough's enough,'' one of the protest's organizers,
Brian Cunningham, 42, owner of Wolf Creek Logistics, a 20-truck company
based in Mount Vernon, Illinois, said in a telephone interview. ``Drivers
are going broke every day.''

A: Nobody.
This trucker strike is more than I see people like you doing to
protest high fuel prices. Why don't you get that beater of yours out
there and drive 20MPH through Downtown Denver, numbnutz?

Not uncommon for the trucker to be told "get rid of it" when a consignee
refuses a load, or part of it.

Thus wasting even more fossil fuels. if they can't afford to work
they should by all means protest but not by such asinine means. they
all should have been arrested.

Actually by law *all* participants in the BTP should have been
arrested. the difference is that those people knew full well that
what they were doing was illegal and I can only assume were prepared
to accept the consequences.

Well, if you're that intent on abiding by the rule of law,
you should definitely join the call for Bush and Cheney
to be sent to the Hague to stand trial for their war crimes.
