It is bad enough that the price of contracting is in a slump due to companies trying to save their stockbrokers a buck at our expense, but now fuel has reached a 60-70 cent per gallon increase in the last six months. That is equivelent to a workers paycheck per every two trucks on the job. And the little guy trying to do installs out of his POV. I just cant imagine how he make ends meet at todays prices. I am hoping that the trucking industry strike soon because America will not listen until we are slapped with a castraphic disaster that effects everyone as a whole. As an aireal lineman we incurr a lot of expenses due to traveling, using our pov on the job, and just getting to and from the job. If it dont break soon America as a whole will suffer. Bush needs to get off his a@@ and do something quick. It wont be long now before companies start folding, economy starts slumping, and recession sets in. Just my opinion about the gas prises vrs the pay rate of this industry. I invite all opinions to this subject. the "Lostlineman2"
