As an engineer, the part that makes me giggle 😉 is the 18 wheelers have several Fail-Safe devices that prevent the truck from going out of control and crashing.
If any ONE of these devices is missing, damaged or rendered inoperable, the truck will NOT move. Truckers know this; so just sending several big rig tow trucks won't be enough. They will need to bring a support vehicle filled with every variety of air hose, shackle, fuse, o-ring, brake actuator, relief valve, etc, etc, etc just to get a few trucks out of the way. Multiply that by 100 trucks and several hours per truck to diagnose what's missing or damaged, we have ourselves a naval blockade on land.
I kept saying that to people who insisted that arrests were imminent. They would be counterproductive because the lorries would remain. Only the honking would stop. (Mind you, as an electronics engineer, I could easily fit a simple circuit that would continue the honking until the battery was disconnected!)

We have the power now (we always did).
