The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association says many of its members believe diesel prices at more than $4 a gallon is making it difficult for them to stay in business.
Truckers say they’re not benefiting from the rising costs of food and clothes that is blamed on diesel prices.
Members hope today’s strike might pressure President Bush to stabilize fuel prices by using the nation’s oil reserves. But many truckers still doubt the strike will be effective because trucking companies are not on board and there is no central coordination.

What is with diesel costing more than gasoline anyway?
Diesel is a by-product of making gasoline, and is a much less refined product ~cheaper to produce. It used to be cheaper than gas, as it should be.
This fact along with the oil companies' record profits should have us all steaming mad!!!! - 3 years ago
