Thats the first I've seen of the post from Joe Shannon. Did he send that
Okay Joe, tell me why you are the VERY FIRST I've heard from a trucker
I say there MUST be a subsidy somehow and they have been asked to keep it

post to our list? hmmm wonder why I missed that,
concerning the price of fuel? When I go in to Flying J with my sixty series
Freightliner (my play toy) and pay a thousand dollars to fill it up I hear
all kinds of pick up and car owners complaining about the high cost of fuel
but when I sit in the drivers lounge or the restaurant I hear ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING from the truckers concerning the cost of fuel being twice what it
was a short time ago.
quiet, nothing else makes sense to me.

Joe, after looking at the stuff like IFTA, IRP
and the amount of paperwork, I don't know how you
guys do it.
