…how bad the traffic must have been.
Truckers parked their rigs on a busy freeway outside Los Angeles on Friday morning, snarling rush-hour traffic for miles in a wildcat protest over high diesel fuel prices. About 700 protested at separate rallies.
Three tractor-trailers stopped in the northbound lanes of the Golden State Freeway in Commerce, 17 miles southeast of downtown, according to the California Highway Patrol.
“They just sort of slowed traffic down, parked their trucks and got out,” CHP Officer Ricardo Quintero said. “They just took off in a car.”
Who exactly are the protesting against? Is it the goverment or the oil companies? One thing’s for sure, they’re not the only one’s feeling it at the pump lately. It costs me $22 to fill up my tank. Yikes.
