Description
Late on June 13, 1979, truckers began blocking off every fuel station along I-95 in the Bangor area. During this latter part of June, independent truckers blockaded gas pumps in other areas of the state. Independent truckers used their trucks to barricade the fuel pumps at the Dysarts Fuel Stop near Bangor, Maine. The truckers were protesting the high price of diesel fuel.
