As truck drivers across America prepare to protest rising fuel prices, local business owners are wondering what will happen to them if products aren't delivered to store shelves.

Additional Information

ORLANDO -- Truckers across the country were expected to go on strike Tuesday. See related story.

Independent truckers said they were not getting adequately compensated for the high cost of fuel, and would protest in hopes of getting better pay.

The truckers planned to either not drive from April 1 to April 5, or to post signs on their trucks explaining why they were protesting, and drive at a maximum speed of 45 mph.
