CHEHALIS, Wash. — Some truckers plan to protest the high price of diesel in a demonstration Friday at Chehalis.

Organizer Sherrie Bond of Bond Trucking says fuel costs are hammering independent drivers and leading to increased consumer prices.

She says truckers will gather Friday in Chehalis (at exit 72 off I-5).

The AAA auto club reports the average price of diesel in Washington today is a record $4.15 a gallon, more than a dollar higher than a year ago.
