Trucker Strike 2008
Symmary:
Friday, March 28, 2008 Trucker Strike Coming? It would be a wonderful thing to see. But so far, nobody has been able to settle on a date for pulling the big rigs off the road. “If they were to shut down (trucking) for a couple days they’d give us a blank check.” Benjamin Cooper, 77, smiles when he talks about the wildcat trucker strikes during the oil crises of the 1970s. I say do it, Truckers. In this day and age of “Just In Time” supply policies, and an expansive warehouse on wheels system in place, it’s important to appreciate just how reliant upon the Trucking Fleet that we have become.
