Will Independent Truckers Survive?

Isabel Lyman / The New American:
Think you've got it tough? Spending up to $80 bucks to fill your tank with gasoline? Consider my husband's numbers. Last May it cost Wid $800 to fill up his big rig with 300 gallons of diesel fuel. Today it costs him $1,200 -- that's over $4 per gallon for an 18-wheeler that gets 7 miles to the gallon. Ouch.
