Ha! I trucker I was talking to the other day ($2300 or so for a tank
of gas!) said "The Towers wasn't shit-- if you really want to hurt us,
you'll hit the trucking industry-- 6 hours without trucks moving on
these roads, and the shelves would be empty-- everyone wants to save
money so only has the bare minimum on hand" and a bunch of other
enlightening stuff.
The battle going on between the various trucking deals is pretty far
out. I wonder who will come out on top-- but I doubt it will be the
little, independent guys.
