Ottumwa area truckers join protest TNT Trucking of Eldon has temporarily closed its doors in protest of high gas prices By MARK NEWMAN Courier staff writerAnthony said he can’t have a job which is essentially a break-even proposition.
We’re spinning our wheels just to spin our wheels,” he said. “I carry 300 gallons in my semi. At $4 a gallon, it’s a $1,000 bill every time I stop to fill up.” But for awhile, said the trucker, those wheels won’t be taking him to his Missouri home. “I’m staying right here in my truck, in Eldon.” The Associated Press contributed to this story. Reporter Mark Newman can be reached at 683-5358 or by e-mail at mgnewman@mchsi.com
