Trucks Quotations | Page 2

Simply raising fuel economy standards for passenger cars and light trucks to 33 miles per gallon would eliminate our oil imports from the Persian Gulf.

We have crews that are standing by 24 hours a day, we have a loader parked around the corner for quick response and our plow trucks are always on the road.

Everyone's kind of going stir crazy, ... I think it's good so many trucks want to do this. But if it's not getting there, it's a failure. We're all full of supplies. Otherwise, we're just supplemental.

We're small so the fuel issue isn't as big, because we don't have dump trucks we run, ... we hire that out. It affects our grader but it's not terrible, and the police car uses a combination of township gas and Dandy gas.

When we are in full production, the trucks are rolling in and out of the plant all of the time. That's not happening now. They don't have enough people for full production.

When we got to Washington that day and discovered people coming in trucks and buses and on planes, in cars, even some came on bicycles and skates -- we were overwhelmed by that response,

When we first got here, it was just miserable conditions. We had to sleep in our trucks the first night, but as we went along, conditions got better.

This roundabout we have under design is going to be constructed in a way that will work. It will be wide enough for the hay trucks and the emergency vehicles. We're not reinventing the wheel.

The way it is now it can not continue. We need security, which we do not have. We need a government that enables us to work and does not create obstacles to our work. We need a guerrilla (force) that does not specialize in hijacking relief trucks and fighting each other and displacing new people, which has happened in the past few weeks. And we need funding.

We have no idea who's in the ports. And many of the folks who come in to service the ports, that drive the trucks back and forth, are people who don't have very distinguished backgrounds. May have criminal backgrounds.
