The Coming Horseman

Diesel fuel has reached another milestone; it has surpassed the $4 mark across much of the nation, according to AAA.

Because of this, many independent truckers are organizing a nationwide strike starting April 1 through April 3. After paying their monthly truck note, then having to deal with soaring diesel prices, independent truckers said they don’t have any money to support their families or pay bills.

It's all good... Mexican truckers will take up the slack. But stay off the freeways, those highly trained and safety oriented professionals have already amassed an impressive record of smashed and burning highway wreckage across America.

Oh... just in case you're wondering... independant truck drivers do make of the majority of truckers in America.
