Independent Truckers Call for Strike Thursday (+ video)

(Columbia) - The national average for diesel is $4.02 per gallon.

The Independent Drivers Association reports South Carolina's truckers are scheduled to join the strike Thursday.

South Carolina's Trucking Association says it could be a total shutdown or they could simply stay-at-home.

Either way truckers must decide if they're in it for the long haul as diesel prices soar.

For Readie Davis, his truck is home away from home.

"I'm mostly on the road 2 or 3 days; I'm not your typical driver that stays out three weeks," adds Davis.
