I'm not sure what they hope to accomplish with their strike. I doubt it will work. Of course, oil is dropping in price again anyway, and they'll probably try to claim credit for it.

Don't know what they are trying to do with this, but this is the third protest by the truckers around these parts in the last 2 weeks.
