Not only America. With Mobil-exxon earning over $40 billion in profit for the last financial year,they are earing about $78,027 a minute, that is $1300 a second. How long does it take you to earn $1300. Parking up your truck is a graet idea, but why don't we expand on it. Where do the oil companies earn their money from? They earn it from the fuel stations we all buy from, weather they be truck stops, petrol stations, fuel stops, anywhere you can buy fuel from. Parking our trucks is not hurting the oil companies, only ourselves. Why not park them at the service stations. I recond there are enough trucks in this world to park at every fuel station for a major hurt on the oil companies. Park your trucks up at night from 6pm to 6am every night at every fuel station for 7 nights. No one can buy fuel, the comanies wont earn any profits, and the tucks can still earn a living during the day. A rolling strike. Shut all fuel stations down for 12 hours a day for 7 days. See if that would have an effect. This would have to be a world wide thing so it would have maximum impact. Have a good think on it everyone. Set a date so everyone in the world will do it at the same time. Keep the rubber on the road and stay safe. The fuel prices are hitting everyone around the world. Not only America.

On April 1, a large number of them shut down their rigs to protest — among other things — skyrocketing fuel costs and demand government intervention to rescue the independent trucker.
