One thing I don't understand is why is it only the O/O truckers going on strike? If it really was about fuel prices, wouldn't the trucking companies also be feeling the pressure also? It should be affecting everybody equally. Do the trucking companies get some sort of bulk discount on fuel that O/O truckers don't? And if that were the case, it wouldn't matter what the price of diesel was, they're always going to be on the short end of the stick.

Rather than going on strike, why not just charge more to cover their fuel costs? Like I mentioned before, a strike is ineffective unless there's some company or corporation losing money over it. Just refusing to drive isn't going to hurt anyone in the short term except themselves. This is all just thinking outloud, because talk of a strike seems to have died down pretty quickly.
