I know a lot of drivers. A lot. And at least 75% of them are all in on Trump. This is a rumor that will go nowhere. Kind of like the rumor that gas was going to jump up another dollar this past week. I bought gas at Wawa Fri at 4.41, today it was 4.07.

I have heard more chatter about this and I say good. A Media boycott of the white house over the constitution. A truckers boycott over diesel. Throw a workers strike in there, too, and then we're talking.

There is no proof of this. Just a couple of random videos people are taking as gospel. They tried to tell us this was happening last October too

Stop spreading lies. I have several friends who are truckers and they are telling me that no strike is planned and that the vast majority of truck drivers are corporate drivers whose companies pay for their fuel

Rumor and only the independent truck drivers. The majority are COMPANY DRIVERS.

Truckers DO NOT NEED TO THREAT, They will be Shut down just because they can not put fuel in their Trucks.

Too bad it’s all media chatter, like a stupid game of telephone. Same thing happened last October

Most drivers work for companies and don’t pay a penny for the fuel they consume. At least not directly…
