Chehalis, WA,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Clarissa Kell-Holland -April 10, 2008: -- With less than 24 hours before the April 11 fuel boycott in Chehalis, WA, was set to begin, Sherrie Bond, the event’s organizer and OOIDA member, said the response she had received this week has been overwhelming... Sherrie Bond and her husband, Bob, are log haulers and are feeling the squeeze of high diesel fuel prices and low-paying loads. They have planned the fuel boycott for Friday, April 11, in Chehalis, WA. The aim is to bring together everyone from a wide spectrum to protest record-high fuel prices and to direct national mainstream media attention to this issue... The boycott will begin in the predawn hours Friday at Exit 72, west of Interstate 5 in the overflow parking lot that the local frozen food plant in Chehalis uses for their trucks during harvest... Her goal with the fuel boycott is to gain national attention to the truckers’ plight...
