I am a trucker. I've not heard word one about this except on this board. In trucking if you refuse a load you might as well start looking for a job. If company X won't go there. Bet money Swift or some other cabal owned company will do it. Owner operators might boycott New York city. But times are bad for most on the road. Most are going to take the load to get a paycheck. We've got family to feed and payments to make. I'd love to see it happen though!
I'm a trucker. Most truckers won't go to new York city anyways. I won't unless it pays very very good! Company drivers will be fired if they won't go. Big companies will pick up any slack. IMHO this is a nothing burger! I'll be shocked if it turns into anything! Though I'd love it to be true! Before someone argues low stock shelves, yes there will be hoarders based on the video but.....
One fly in this ointment is that if Big Companies picked up the slack, then why Colorado got its ass kicked when all of the truckers boycotted the entire state a few years ago to protest the unfair sentencing of a truck driver?
Something tells me that "Big" Companies are not as big as they appear to be...
Let me get a down toot also. You speak the truth. Owner Operator's don't go to NYC. But somebody will go. Brokers are the only part of trucking that are making money right now. A broker will pay more than what they are getting for a load to keep a customer. And some non English speaking driver will go.
Still will need to find such a driver, make sure that they are properly insured (and that insurance might go up depending on the driver's history, or insurance might be outright refused under certain circumstances), and hope that they do not cause an incident during the job, or take care of the headaches if the incidents do occur.
All of that and more will be malfunctions in their machine, and every point of inefficiency means one step closer for the city to collapse, because cities like NYC are more fragile than you think...
Agreed fren, outside of the fringes of social media I'm not seeing much discussion about all this trucker talk.
Speaking of which... whatever happened to the mega maga freedom convoy bound for Texas? Or was that just another over hyped nothingburger event? Shit was being propped up all over alt social media accts as if it were truly something similar to the Canadian Truckers habbening but then nothing but crickets....

Apples and oranges! If you were a trucker you'd understand.

and prices will go up.
