  In trying to verify that, I talk to Larry Daniel of America's Independent Truckers' Association (AITA).He says that since the beginning of the year, an average of roughly 750 companies have folded per week.In his statistics, a "company" can be a single truck or an outfit of hundreds of trucks and contract haulers.So Daniel says 40,000-plus truckers doesn't sound unrealistic, adding that he believes it will take an act of Congress to buoy the industry.

  Larry Daniel, president of America's Independent Truckers' Association, said high fuel prices hurt the trucker more than the consumer.
  
  While the higher cost of fuel might raise the cost of some goods "a few cents," it could cause the independent trucker to lose his livelihood, Daniel said.
  
  Daniel said freight rates are based on a benchmark diesel fuel cost of $1.10 a gallon.The fuel surcharge is based on the actual cost of diesel and is supposed to make up the difference in cost.
  
  He said independent truckers normally don't have the means to assess the fuel surcharge like larger trucking companies do.
  
  Daniel said large trucking companies will not haul freight without a surcharge.He said shippers will try their best to avoid it.The end result could spell the end of many small trucking companies and independent truckers, Daniel said.
  ...
  Daniel said trucking is no different from other businesses.
  
  "I don't care what industry you pick; you have people going into it and people going broke," Daniel said.

  Larry Daniel, the president and founder of America's Independent Truckers' Association Inc. in Clinton, Miss., said that some truck drivers have maxed out their credit cards and are at least a month behind on everything they owe except their trucks.
  
  "They are full of hope that things are going to turn around," he said.
  
  He said that independent truckers don't have the ability to demand fuel surcharges.
  
  "If the shipper knows that a trucker is going to levy a fuel surcharge against a load, he's not going to hire that trucker," Daniel said.

  Adding to truck drivers' woes is that many shippers are unwilling to pay their drivers a suggested fuel surcharge that, at today's prices, is about 49 cents a mile, said Larry Daniel, president of America's Independent Truckers' Association, a driver advocacy group in Clinton, Miss. As a result, truckers who accept loads from those shippers must shoulder the entire burden of rising diesel fuel prices.
  
  "Independent truckers need the cash flow to pay their bills, so out of desperation they take loads even though the shipper won't pay the fuel surcharge," Daniel said.
  ...
  Daniel said the strike is ill-advised anyway, because it financially hurts truck drivers who can't afford to lose work.
  
  "Our position is that truckers need fuel surcharges, not strikes," Daniel said.But he conceded that drivers lack the organizational clout to force shippers to pay the surcharges.
