cause of the fuel prices it has done alot of problems all over. I
am a truck driver since fuel went so high I've lost it all the 1st
thing to go was the 18wheeler i was buying and doing very good at
then I went back to being a company driver where cause of fuel
prices trucking company after trucking company went under and the
cost to ship anything went up shippers have stoped shipping or
slowed way down that in turn about 25% if not more drivers are
losing thier homes and livly hoods after i lost my 18wheeler the
next thing i lost was my brand new pick up i just lost my house and
in about a week from now i will lose my wifes new pickup and I lost
her a week ago cause we are losing it all and it was to much stress
so she took off while she still had a truck to move her things and
so she can find a job 1500 miles away from where we lived at. it's
all about the fuel cost as long as it stays up or getting highier
we all will lose out and no matter how much the U.S.A. steps in to
help that will only fix things for a short time cause people still
have to eat,work and live so insted of paying for that house they
are putting the money in the gas tank. cause of the fuel prices we
lost 3% of trucking companys and still more and more close down.
drivers get fired fast cause they have to run thier trucks to stay
cool or warm and that fuel cost companys dont want to pay for so
they fire that driver. in trun that driver looses things at home. i
went from making $3500 to $4500 a month down to $1300 to $1400 a
month my bills where about $3000 a month and i did great but now i
have lost it all thanks to the greedy people of fuel prices soon i
will be out of work as a truck driver and lose even more at that
point I'll have to be on unemployment till walfare steps in and the
way things are going there will be about a millon trucks drivers
out off work within a year or so if things don't change. what will
happen to us when the feight cant be shipped, the food stops cause
there are no drivers left to haul it if things keep going the way
they are the few trucking companys left will be getting $50 a mile
to haul your loads that means bread will cost $ 25 a loaf and milk
will cost about $28 to $38 a gallan cause of the shipping cost who
can or will pay for it our restraunts will close cause noone will
pay $20 or $25 just for a burgger without the frys or a drink where
will it stop how many people have to loose thier homes,thier cars
and suv's and trucks before it stops. the housing,and auto makers
are in it deep and losing the game faster than they can handle at
some point within 20 years the usa will be broken and we will make
others look so good cause they didn't let it happen to them what is
happing to us right now. I hope who ever reads this will think
about it all and the whole of what is happening and will happen if
we all dont do something now it wil be us and our kids that pay for
it later not the grandkids to come it will happen before that point
think of what you can do and do it before it's too late, a wise man
that has lost it all, Don
