April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Truckers clogged the New Jersey
Turnpike and other highways today, slowing traffic to as low as
20 mph (32 kph) as part of a nationwide protest against surging
diesel fuel prices, a spokesman for the highway said.
Trucks moved slowly at various points along the 148-mile
(238-kilometer) turnpike this afternoon, and about 200 drivers
gathered at the Vince Lombardi Rest Area in Bergen County, said
Joe Orlando, a spokesman for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
The highway has a maximum speed limit of 65 mph.
``It's time to say, enough's enough,'' one of the protest's
organizers, Brian Cunningham, 42, owner of Wolf Creek Logistics,
a 20-truck company based in Mount Vernon, Illinois, said in a
telephone interview. ``Drivers are going broke every day.''

What is this, FRANCE?
Oh, wait, this isn't France, and this protest won't do a gosh-darned thing about the price of fuel ... after all, we put Oil Barons in Washington about 8 years ago, and they've been working the plan ever since.
Good luck, truckers. Sincerely. You're all going to be replaced with migrant (har!) drivers soon enough, who will be pulling down the equivalent of half your pay. It's all part of the great plan to destroy the American middle class.
