Convoy of dump trucks circle U.S. Capitol in protest of fuel prices
posted in Cars |
More than 100 dump truck drivers convoyed to Washington, DC, honking their horns while circling the U.S. Capitol to protest high diesel fuel prices on Thursday, April 10.
Truckers met in Forestville, MD, to line up for the convoy to DC. They drove in a loop several times around the National Mall to raise Congressional awareness on the impact that recent changes in the economy, including fuel, have had on the trucking industry.
One dump truck had a sign attached to the side that read “Fair compensation,” according to The Associated Press.
