Then one day – at the pump – the mighty mechanical behemoths found they were being squeezed off at the nozzle. Yes, the wicked diesel dynasty was holding them up for gigantic price increases that they could ill afford. It set the economy on it's head. For they haul all the products for America's infrastructural lifeline.
Some of the once majestic machines began to wither under the strangling thirst.

There was nothing left to do but to organize and go looking for reasonably priced diesel fuel.
Somewhere they had heard the mystic initials, K.D.V. It would become their holy Grail.

They hired rogue wild-caters to journey to the middle of the East searching for their own source of economical, sulpher-less diesel (for indeed, that was what they have been deprived of all these years); thee fuel for their impoverished driver masters. But alas, it was not to come from these sands
	They became more militant as anger rose. Some attacked and ate homes of those of the blue shirts who they thought to blame for this horrible diesel draught.

	Trucks that had been sidelined burst out of their yards and garages to fight back against the danged diesel cartels.
They broke into libertine halls, taking over the dance floor to plead their case to high living oil barons; who looked the other way when the dreaded KDV was mentioned.

In the meantime, the movement continued expanding throughout America; all regions.
Former road warriors took up battle line positions to take down the high price of fuel.

		They hired an accomplished, skilled, no-nonsense mercenary to help organize their cause against $3+ diesel fuel.
But that just brought a counter attack by those in power.
			Guards were posted at the border.
Even seasoned veterans took up watch in the heartland of the continuing conflict.

Wounded casualties were returned and unceremoniously
put out to pasture in Walter’s weed hospital

Today, most are in hiding. They await the day they can economically transport again all the goods and produce America needs to support its infrastructure and way of life.

When, in the end… all they wanted to do… was make ends meet……
