What is the best portable GPS system I can buy with a maximum of $400?

The Amish do just fine without you. They have been doing fine without you since the 1600s. If you go on strike, I will go to Pennsylvania and become Amish. Or maybe Ohio.

Are there any public transportation(train, bus) that stops at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, CT?

I think I would be sad because without you guys I can't get presents and the such to my nephew in Phoenix. but on the other hand I'd be a little happy because for a short period of time I won't have to unpack, unload, and check in, and lift any shipment at work, imagine 90 to 100 boxes filled with shoes, all kinds of shoes, it gets stressful

what do you think about road rage? and what would say if you if were in that position?

Pray your family has another source of income. Unfortunately, punishing others by doing this also punishes your own family as well. I have the utmost respect for truckers. My husband was in transportation in the military and did a stint in civilian trucking. We also had a family friend who just left long haul after many years. It's a hard, necessary, and sometimes dangerous profession. You all have my blessings and thanks.

A months worth of no trucks causing stupid accidents or holding up traffic during rush hour commutes!

taking my road test?

I would imagine a lot of "us" would be ALIVE or not in the hospital because of it! Trucks, although providing a great service for America, are a hazard on the road.

How do I find the Marathon Fuel Stations in the Southwest?


I'm sure it would be a difficult time of adjustment, but I for one would welcome a ban on interstate trucking. Bring back this great country's railway system!

Why do people drive slower when the road goes from 2 lanes to 1 lane?


Honestly, I really do believe that something needs to be done about the over-reliance on trucking in our society. It does cause unnecessary accidents and congestion on the highways.

Upset about good traffic?


I really don't believe anything would really happen IF you did go on strike. Not all drivers are in a Union so I'm sure there would still be plenty of trucks to clog our Highways and kill us.

Yes or no: Are you annoyed when parents take an open buggy on public transport?

That would be awful. Truckers are crucial to the rest of us getting day-to-day necessities. However,I can't help but notice that truck drivers (as well as everyone else) have become increasingly dangerous. I had an extremely close call with a truck several months ago that I will never forget. I was trying to get on the freeway. I was being very considerate and making every effort to not slow anybody else down of make them speed up to let me in. Traffic was moving well and I had plenty of room to merge. Next thing I know, the very large truck in the lane had spead up and almost ran me into the barricade. It was clearly intentional on the driver's part and could've injured one or both of us. Why would any driver take such a risk?

Where can i find mileage on the internet?

We would implement a wide range, dedicated, automated rail system .
No more sleeping rednecks at the wheel and faster, more reliable service.

A Traffic Ticket (Los Angeles Area)?

i would be happy because you guys are all road hogs and you all scare me to death!

how to improve public transportation system?

freak out. we depend on you to transport the goods we purchase. Most people don't realize that. Like the person who said "Can we start this now?" Without you we don't get our food we purchase at the grocery store, the nice presents we buy our children for christmas, etc etc etc etc...i could go on and on.
i appreciate all that you sacrifice to do your job. i understand the dangers, but it has to be done.

Can EZPass work in other states such as Georgia or Florida? What would happen if it didn't work?

Knowing that the strike would most likely be publicized in advance, I would stock up on the things I'd need for that month, then take some time off work and hit the road for a relaxing and (for once) safe vacation. If anyone else has ever had the experience of driving on Route 66 with a bunch of truckers, you know how absolutely insane and agressive they can be. They are some of the most dangerous drivers on the road. A month without truckers on the highways? Bring it on!!

what is the road route to drive from thanjavur(TN) to mhow near indore (MP)?

Everyone would go hungry or thirsty. Of course you wouldn,t have to worry about XMAS shopping though

How much are gas prices where you live?

On strike from what, showering? I didn't think you guys did that anyway. You know, you'd have to learn to pee somewhere other than a jug... can you handle that?

does anyone know an average cost for movers from cali to tx?

Yeah, Yeah, like all the other driver strikes.
Assuming you're not just trolling and this could actually be accomplished, the country would come to a complete standstill until the government stepped in.

Pay per mile proposed schemes? Your views.....?


But, then again, I think you are just trolling...

How many miles do you have on your car?

i think i would starve and loose a lot of weight, which might be good because i am a fat pig....

whats the book called and where can i buy avoiding our service stations.?


Don't do it dude.....alll we ask is that you don't try to intimidate us car drivers by speeding

traffic reports online?

Rejoice, because then I wouldn't have to worry about idiot truck drivers on the Pennsylvania Turnpike trying to open my compact car like a can of tuna by tailgating me, not letting me merge in, etc..... I've had more close calls and bad experiences with 18-wheelers than with anyone else on the highway at 8:30am. And how about the ones blocking the left lane, when it clearly says "Left Lane / No trucks, buses"?

i need some advices on how to live on a mobile home, my mobile home is a real van..?


It's 2006, almost 2007.... we shouldn't need trucks. We should be using light rails, etc., where you can pack more in and keep the roads less congested. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have the infrastructure for that.

need to get driving directions to Oklahoma city bus station?

Rail is a good way to transport product,but how are you going to get your product from them . Without trucks you would have to do your shopping at the rail yard.I drove for 30 years and I agree its dangerous but it`s not the truck,it`s the drivers that do dope and the companies that don`t give drivers enough time to rest.
Just thought I would put my 5 cents in.

how much is 2/10ths of a mile?

well, having had many friends in trucking, and having dated someone(traveled with her too) also spent a summer working with a moving company on the road......shame on you!! my question is....what if the railroads came back strong?...then what would you do?and 1 more thing...if you got off the road......maybe you guys could take the time and make sure that all of your trucks were placarded right for us emergency responders

on the free way you are required to have your signal on how many feet before you have to change lanes?

i would actually drive on I-95 to get to work..it's much faster, but i wont do it because of my small car and all the truckers who whizz by me..kinda scares me. ( i know, i'm a whimp)

Have you been in the Cash Cab?

This sounds more like a threat or that you are fishing for validation of your importance. Honestly if there was a long strike many industries would be hurt badly and some companies may have to close. In the long run our society would adapt and either hire new drivers or find a new way to fill the void you left behind. No one is irreplaceable.
