That would be my advice as well. Not sure what a few thousand trucks can accomplish going to DC. In the end, if Gubmint leaders chose to use them, resources of the Gubmint will always prevail. On the other hand, if a few hundred thousand truckers refuse to make deliveries into blue coastal areas and deep blue cities........just disappear........no pickups......no deliveries........no nothing........things get dicey in a hurry.

As a lobbyest once told us.......now and then you have to put a choke chain on those old dogs to remind them who is boss. They (old dogs) ought to know better.

But before all that, you have to have a cause and objective the general public will support and get behind. Otherwise, protestors are the bad guys.

Buddy of mine came over yesterday. Had two bobcats to skin. Was afraid he would screw it up. I am not able to pull yet but told him I would do the cutting and he could pull. So while we are catching up as I hadn't talked to him since fall he mentions his grandmother died. Got the second covid shot. Made her sick like it does a lot of people only she didn't recover. Coincidence? Maybe. Who knows. WEhen it comes to gene therapy, even when called a vaccine, I think its reasonable for people to make their own choices. especially since this gene therapy isn't keeping anyone from still carrying and transmitting the virus. It only MAYBE protects the person receiving it.

This thing has gone way past the virus. Its about the politicritters screwing the people over left right and center and just out to control the masses, no matter how. Sooner or later things will get messy, when the critter that think are in charge find out that they are not.

What do they not have to deal with? The trucking industry is federally controlled at all levels, even to the point of when a trucker goes to sleep.

The visual of a few thousand trucks is a powerful image. If the truckers just stayed home, the leftist media would ignore the fact there was a boycott at all.

That's not what Trudeu said in the court room. It's on video.

Yes, some people like the choice to protect their own health.

Warrior, they force you to park but the boneheads still don't sleep. No matter the occupation there is always a few. Legislators like to think they can legislate people into being responsible. The only result is the responsible majority end up penalized for the actions of a few boneheads. The boneheads just keep on being boneheads.

Was your obesity caused by racism? Were you saying no to your own health when you chose to take in more calories than your body needed to maintain a healthy weight? I don’t want to be a rebel. I’m just sick and tired of bureaucrats and politicians who think they have a right to control my life from cradle to grave.

Your racism comment shows the extent you are controlled.

Ya, I'm wondering how truckers boycotting is defined as racism. The answer will be interesting.

Seems like a copycat excuse to burn diesel. I am still waiting for someone to tell me what the point of this might be. As mentioned above, truckers have no vaccine mandate in the U.S.

Monkey see, monkey do.

It’s a secret. They can’t tell liberals and sensitive republicans until it’s on.
