While it is of the utmost importance and a matter of National Security to keep the trucking industry working and profitable it's not something that most Americans care about until it affect them.

The hotel is owned by the Jumeirah Group, formerly Jumeirah International Group) is an international luxury hotel chain and part of Dubai Holdings, which is owned by Dubai Government.
