Not sure that vid convinces me. I guess I have to believe that dude would not go out of his way to make a fake claim so I believe he believes what he is reporting.
Funny, if you look at the other side of road, it is thick with truck traffic. Those trucks had to come from somewhere, and most likely NYC. If they came from NYC, then they most likely would have traveled into NYC at some point.
When NYC residents stomachs, and backbones that clacking together, I'll be a big believer.
I like the video opens with a semi right in front of him.
Then after he tells us these three lanes are restricted to truck traffic and we start seeing cars zoom by.
The video then mentions a trucker who didn't want to go to NYC, so his boss gave him a different load. So what's the effect of that? That doesn't mean that load won't go to NYC.
But how do you know the truck traffic is headed to New York City? Northern New Jersey is just as populated as is Long Island. Also both highways you listed connect to upstate New York and New England.
I don’t know that all the truck traffic is heading to NYC, just as there is no way of telling from the posted video that there isn’t truck traffic heading into NYC. All I know is that truck traffic on I78 and I80 heading toward NYC is the same as ever. I also know a handful of commuters who work in NYC who have reported no shortages much less notice of an alleged trucking strike. That of course is anecdotal evidence, subject to skepticism, at least as much as the video.
Thanks for bringing this info. I asked my friend who still lives in NY and he said it's going on but no effect just yet.

I think a lot of those trucks are either day cabs (without sleepers) or shipments that originated somewhere in upstate New York or New England.
Reefers -- restaurants are going to miss their fresh foods.
Nah. This guy is full of shit. 75 miles due west of NYC. Truck traffic heading East on I78 and I80 is 100% "normal."

Refer = refrigerator. A refrigerator car on a train or behind a road tractor is commonly called a refer.
At least NYC is getting food through Norfork Southern and CSX.
