Hundreds of truckers gathered in Washington DC on April 28 to protest the high cost of fuel. The truckers say Washington lawmakers have been far too silent on an issue that has grave repercussions for the U.S. economy.  They called on Congress to stop subsidizing big oil companies and demanded a cap on the cost of fuel.  VOA's Mil Arcega reports.
