  1. Finally, and significantly…what?!?

  2. Let's go Brandon! I know of a trucker that cost him $1200.00 to fill his truck. Let's go Brandon again…..

  3. That energy secretary needs to get her as*kicked by the angry american people.

  4. MacDonald's is hiring

  5. Where will lot lizards like me go after this?

  6. The attack has been on the independant truck driver……..look at the number of OO 40 years ago until now………..it's all in the plan of the One World Order. Same with any small business. How many Mom and Pop truck stops had to close their doors over the last 40 years?…hell, Independant Mechanic shops…you name it. Corperations in line with Globilization are in on it. They are stealing the independant businesses…………..pushing small business out.

  7. Here's a thought from a simpleton American. How about repealing some of the road taxes on diesel fuel , like by at least a dollar or more !!!

  8. IF YOUT A TRUCK DRIVER AND YOUR SPENDING THIS AMOUNT FORGET THIS JOB ..WORK IN A OFFICE OR REMOTE IF YOU HAVE TOO
    EVEN IF ITS LOWER PAY TAKE IT!

  9. I fill my pick up truck at least 4 times a week. It's a toss up right now whether I should continue to work at a job I love or retire.

  10. Well what did they think was going to happen.

  11. ANOTHER PART OF THE PLAN ….. STRANGLE AMERICA …… MAKE US HURT.

  12. Enjoy your self digesting stomach.

  13. I sell HVAC Commercial equipment to local mechanical contractors. Been doing it for 15 years. Since Jan. 2021 we have had record price increases (probably about 50%) and shortages on material. I used to be able to hold pricing up to a year and maybe get hit with 5% increases. Now can barely hold pricing for 30 days. It's going to get worse folks.

  14. Liberals are reactive and not proactive. Feelings over facts…. 🤕

  15. but it was 182 a gallon under trump….

  16. Truly, only God can help us now. Everyone willing, needs to turn to Christ, pray, stay in the word, follow his 10 commandments the best you can, but mainly, accept Jesus as your lord and savior. Get baptized! You will be with him for eternity, no matter what happens here on this temporal world.

  17. “Without Trucks America Stops”
    Is that what they want?

  18. I’ve gone from paying 4800 a month in fuel to $10,000. The surcharge has increased but but it doesn’t cover my my portion which has increased $2,000 out of pocket. Everyone just imagine you’re paycheck being cut by $2,000 a month when you already have 3k a month in equipment you still have to pay for plus, road use taxes, electric log charges, insurance, yearly plate taxes, road use taxes and in Oregon per mile taxes plus having to pay a tax company to keep track of it all for you. Drivers who are already established like myself can weather the storm but I don’t see how any new owner ops just starting can make a living. I just paid $12,000 for tires bro it was only $8k 2 years ago, it’s a bloodbath…

  19. Diesel is almost $7 and Biden is blaming everyone but himself….what a loser
