>From Tennessee:
Diesel fuel has reached another milestone; it has surpassed the $4
mark across much of the nation, according to AAA.
In Tennessee, diesel fuel is going for around $3.95 a gallon, but in
24 other states, it's at least $4.02.
Because of this, many independent truckers are organizing a nationwide
strike starting April 1 through April 3. After paying their monthly
truck note, then having to deal with soaring diesel prices,
independent truckers said they don't have any money to support their
families or pay bills.
