TRUCK CONVOY PROTEST * USA - Truckers plan go to the state Capitol
Los Angeles,CA,USA -Trading Markets -Mar 29, 2008: -- Independent truck driver John Bender Jr. has a passion for the road, but the escalating cost of diesel fuel could cause him to park his rig for good... Bender, 37, will add to the more than 1 million miles on his 1998 Freighliner rig when he drives to Harrisburg Monday to participate in a truckers' protest at the Capitol at 9 a.m... Truckers will start lining up at 6 a.m. at Exit 77, Route 81, just outside Harrisburg... The truckers want to draw attention to high fuel prices, their opposition to Act 44 -- which allows for tolls to be placed on Interstate 80 -- and the possible lease of the Pennsylvania Turnpike to private investors... On Tuesday, many truckers won't drive as a way to highlight the importance of the industry to the economy...
