The government and oil companies, aren't they one and the same with who we have as our current President? You actually believe this is about supply and demand. Please!!!!!!!! And believe me it is more than just a few angry truck drivers. This is about people in general getting f**ked every time they pump fuel into their vehicles whether or not it is a big truck or a personal vechicle.

They have the right to set prices how they see fit and you choose whether or not you want to use those products at that price right? You really want the government to set prices on goods in this country? what about setting prices that you can charge to haul for? I wonder what anyone wants done really? are they prepared for the slippery slope that it might bring? |
I think you are finally getting it, if we all choose not to use that product (fuel) at the given price, then maybe, just maybe they will lower the price.
If everyone continues using their product at this current price then what the hell, they will just raise it even more. When is enough, enough. |

I see nothing "foolish" about it. That is the whole point. Don't you think the rising fuel cost have disrupted the lives of the American people. For what, their monetary gains. Anyway we both have different views on this and that is cool. I do appreciate your input.

This will be fixed by attrition. Those with poor business sense shall perish. The cost of fuel is NOT going down this summer. The shipping rates will not go up as long as there are enough desperate O/Os to haul anything for nothing. Eventually enough of these guys running without a profit margin or a safety net in the bank will have trouble ($$$ to fix) and be forced out. When enough do, the shipping rates will go up. Pure capitalism doing it's thing. While I am new to trucking and have a lot to learn, I am not new to small business. How foolishly many O/O's operate their trucks is stunning. The fact that they ever made a profit makes me look forward to the day I can be a O/O. |
Yeah, the oil prices are Bush's fault. Okay. Study on, Slugger.
