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...

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

and prices will go up.
