An Illinois State Police spokesman says the trucks blocked the three lanes on I-55 near Chicago by driving three abreast and slowing down. Master Sergeant Luis Gutierrez says the drivers were ticketed for impeding traffic".

buying fuel will continue after this shutdown, whether it'll be gasoline, or diesel, and the prices won't go down......how many more shutdowns can o/o's really afford.............or sympathetic company drivers....??? there are only so many vacation days, you know.........
Man, it's the negativity of people like you that is the reason that none of the other shutdowns ever worked. You aren't even a real truckdriver......you're a damn yard jockey for Christ's sake. Instead of being so damn negative about everything, why the hell don't you try backing these guys up that are litterly fighting for their lives and their livelyhood. Maybe if you actually used all that energy in a positive manner and helped these guys fight all this bullshit you might help them WIN !! Give it a try man, or at least give it a break. We're all tired of hearing you whine and cry about nothing being worth it. Get A Life Man.
No duh? Fuel always going to be bought. Its the fact that....nevermind, im not arguing with a sleep deprived Super Trucker. Ur nothing but Negative.
get ya some more high speed chicken feed and stay up a few more days. k? k. =)
I believe the focus of this thread has been totally side tracked. IMO every trucker out there should be participating in the shutdown. Kids in college, mortgage....how the hell is that being paid when you can't even afford to roll down the road, unless of course you're a "company driver"
