-- Weeklong protests by Brazilian truckers demanding lower fuel and toll prices have spread, causing shortages of gasoline and other products...

The movement quickly spread and on Wednesday they were blocking highways and other roads, mostly in the agriculturally rich south, southeast and central-western parts of Brazil... Truck drivers are also protesting low freight prices and are demanding that freight costs be based on the distances trucks travel to deliver goods. Freight costs are currently determined by tonnage...
