Re: [MV] gas and fuel costs

Thats the first I've seen of the post from Joe Shannon. Did he send that
post to our list? hmmm wonder why I missed that,


Okay Joe, tell me why you are the VERY FIRST I've heard from a trucker
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.

I say there MUST be a subsidy somehow and they have been asked to keep it
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.
