Oakland, CA. At the Union Pacific Rail Terminal truckers have had enough. Trucks are pulling over in solidarity to protest the rising fuel costs they must shoulder. Most of the truck drivers are only being compensated for 12% of their fuel costs. “We want to work.” Said many of the owner-operator drivers, but they can’t afford to when their fuel costs exceed the fees companies pay them to haul the loads. Four years ago companies negotiated to pay 5% of the fuel costs above $2.00 per gallon. Dr Tags: diesel, fuel, truckers
