This is just a simple poll to see the percentage of how many will or wont be shutting down their trucks in support of the 2008 trucker shutdown on April 1st.

The poll is anonymous, so you have no fear of being identified, and you do not have to be registered here to vote.

If you vote "no", please select the proper selection that fits your decision.
 
my choice is no (company driver) i can't afford it. besides i'll be in rochester , NY dropping off a load on monday morning.
 
yep i know thats why i said i would be working it.

OK, I was trying to be a smartass here but you won't play along :bounce:. The thread title is Are you going to be shutting down on April 1...

Monday is March 24 and April 1 is on a Tuesday...

So I am going to take, my tonka toys and go home now, because you don't want to play right..

yeah usually i'm up for a good arguement but i'm just not feeling it right now. hang around and i might want to later. lol
 
Well, if this percentage was to translate to the entire trucking industry, we truckers would really be making some noise next week!
 
after long thought i have decided that i will participate in the shutdown since i most likely wont have a truck assigned to me yet.i think its time to get the media envoled if we really want to get the word out..what do yall think??
 
We have been doing all we can to get the media involved.

The trucking shows are talking about how the media is finding out about the "strike rumors" and seeking out truckers to talk to, when all along, drivers have been emailing and calling the media to let them know about this.

If you haven't yet, contact the media in your area.
 
I will be shutting down on the 1st as well now we need as firecracker said to get the word out so we can get the impact we all want.
 
Friday the 28th was my last day. I have parked my truck at home. It's not going anywhere for $4 a gal. fuel! I'll spend $3.25 for gas and go out and mow my lawn.

YES I WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN
 
I work for a small company maybe 10 trucks...as far I know we are not shutting down. According to the owners they are still making money for now. But fuel is $3.84 for them as of Friday. If it were to hit $4.00 then I would probably think they would shut down also.
As for me, I just started back to work...I really can't afford to not be working.
