Should CB radio operators prod truckers to strike?
 
Weren't fuel prices so low for so long because of trucker strikes?
Should truckers develop a "stealth strike" by taking 30 minutes to
fuel up, delaying loads? Seriously, if you loose a month, or a
quarter's worth of your income to rising fuel and inflation, why not
strike if people cannot buy things? If every trucker took an extra 15
minutes to fuel up, would that send a signal?

Do you think foreign factory workers are going to be happy when their
lines shut down due to port's being full? Should the local
longshoremen join in?

Do you have any idea how much time it takes to pump 100 gallons of
fuel? Between the act of getting fuel, and waiting in line for fuel,
30 minutes is very often a pretty fast fuel stop. There's a reason
truck stops have massive parking lots after the fuel islands: Getting
fuel is the last thing any trucker wants to do. They get fuel then
stop for the night.
