Today's CNN news at noon had a short blurp on this - guess a bunch of independents are already pulled over. Spokesman that they had on TV said that he planned to be down about a week (maybe more); that they didn't want to hurt anyone but that they needed Congress to pass a bill that was before them allowing the fuel surcharges already being charged to be passed through directly to the trucker. Didn't realize it until I just looked it up but it appears that the companies can charge it but don't have to pass it on unless negotiated that way.... lot of legaleeze in the article I was looking at but it didn't seem to be fair to the trucker. (What else is new with businesses????)
Oh well, we'll see if anything really comes of this.
