    Many of us have thought about this idea when it comes to getting our point across that we arent going to pay these HIGH fuel prices and how our RATES suck!

    Here's is an IDEA to get a STATE by STATE convoy going in EACH one of our HOME states and SET for a Specific DATE.

    We all know TRUCKERS both O/Os and CO Drivers. We need to get them to help us start a ROLLING convoy on a DATE and again in EACH STATE.

    Take that convoy into TRAVEL plaza's and ROUND up MORE trucks!

    ONCE WE'VE GOT a hand full of trucks both O/Os and Co's?

    PULL EM OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Your ROLLING CONVOY in your State will get a point across alone!
    Again we need a DATE to do this!

    And also need a LEADER in Each STATE or each PARTs of a STATE.

    I know Jammer And I can Handle OHIO!

    He'll HIT the COLUMBUS / AREA, and I'll HANDLE THE CLEVELAND,YOUNGSTOWN,CANTON,AKRON Area!

    Comments? PLEASE STAY on TOPIC!

    Aren't convoys illegal? Be careful what you do - don't get in trouble over it.

    A convoy is not illegal. We have already asked the State Police to escort us and asked our Congressman and Representative to ride with us. Why does everyone come up with this thought that anything you do is illegal? Shutting down your truck is not illegal, neither is parking your truck in a parking lot and putting signs in the windows. I work for myself and if want to "go on strike" who is going to fire me or arrest me? As long as you do not block the roadways, park illegally or cause violence you are not breaking the law. No one can force you to work.

    But convoys do block roadways.

    This is why I thought they were illegal:

    Maybe this is outright incorrect but I have heard and heard recently that convoys are illegal. I may be wrong - I just don't know and was passing on information I thought was helpful, that's all :)
