Truckers Block Highways in Seven Hour Fuel Protest
Truckers halted traffic on major arteries for seven hours protesting lowered speed limits and rising diesel costs. Some spokesmen spoke imprudently, others realistic about energy crisis downsides, and reports suggested fuel oil price hikes at some truck stops.
