WV TRUCKERS PROTESTING HIGH FUEL COSTS

(04/04/2008)

You might want to stay away from Charleston today. Organizers are expecting 200 to 300 truckers to join a rally to protest high fuel prices at the state Capitol. The truckers are protesting the price of diesel fuel, which has jumped to $2,400 or more a week for most of them. Back in 2000, fuel costs were $600 a week. The rally will start at Flatwoods in Braxton County and head down Interstate 79 to the Capitol for a meeting with Gov. Joe Manchin. Kanawha Boulevard is being shut down to give truckers enough room to park.
