Trucker Dan is proposing a National Trucking Shutdown as follows:



April 1, 2008 is when My trucking Co & thousands of others are shutting down at 8 AM on that date. From that time on we will no longer accept any loads at ANY price until such time as our FED Gov admits & puts into action a plan that will give all O/Os some help.



Here is what I would like to see happen,

1# suspend ALL Fed & State fuel taxes until such time that this economy is back on its feet

2# Fed create a FED Oversight Committee to oversee Ins Premiums Charged for Class 8 trucks Insurance

3# Stop allowing Large Trucking Fleets to self Insure, this would make a more level playing field for all trucking Cos

4# Fed Regulations for Brokers & Shippers that are enforced, with set max amounts they can charge.

5# Standardized Fines from Coast to Coast for safety violations. In other words if a log ticket cost $50.00 in Missouri then a log ticket in California should only cost $50.00



I will not return to hauling until our Gov. the people we put into office gets off their butts an does something to help this Industry my email address is dlittle@uscattlehaulers.com

Send me an email if you plan on shutting down on April 1, 2008

Some are asking what date is the shutdown & what will happen ?



Here's the what, why, & when of it.



The reason for this shutdown is not to hurt this country in any way shape or form. But is in fact a peaceful method of sending a message to Washington, D.C. That we do indeed need help & our industry is the backbone of life in America as we know it.



The why of it covers issues that you & I as truckers, both O/Os & Co. drivers face on a daily basis. These problems range from excessive Regulations ie., Fuel, Federal & State Fuel tax's, excessive DOT regulations on NON-SAFETY related items, Excessive Insurance Pre., The list goes on & on.



The when of it, is APRIL 1st, 2008 {see www.uscattlehaulers.com } I & several others picked that date for a reason. April 1,2008 is Aprils Fools Day, that being said, we as an industry are going to send a Strong message to the otherwise FOOLS in Washington, D.C. that "enough is enough"



We Will Be Heard.



I & Thousands of You have been telling people for Years now, that a change needed to take place.



Well, here's your chance to Stand Up for Yourself & let The World know We will Stand Strong. "one for all and all for one"



Thank You & God Bless each & Everyone of you,
