Excerpt:
"X user Chicago1Ray, who appears to be a Midwest truck driver, shared a video late Friday night detailing that a number of truck drivers will begin denying loads to NYC on Monday.

"I don't know how far across the country this is - or how many truckers are going start denying loads to NYC - but I'll tell you - you fk around and find out," Chicago1Ray said.

He continued: "We're tired of motherfking leftist fking with Trump. Okay ... Motherfuers start to get tired of this shit. Our bosses aren't going to care if we deny loads. We'll go somewhere else." "

    In France, farmers protest by dumping produce and manure in streets and close to gov buildings. Farmers get it right more often than Macron and Biden.

    Nice idea, but likely doomed to failure because there will be truckers that want the money, which there will likely be more of per load if a boycott actually takes place. I'm sure the commie government of NYC can eventually get illegals to drive for pennies, too.

      Or the Buydem admin will invoke the vague interstate commerce clause and send the FBI to arrest any resistance. D.C. NIFO
      The slim hope is for 10,000 truckers to cut off NY from deliveries and not state their reasons.

        Can't argue with that totalitarian possibility, either. I can envision the commie (D) governor of NY, upon request from the commie (D) mayor of NYC, granting special licenses to illegals to drive trucks and then use the license to sneak them into the polls to vote commie (D).

      Perhaps, but there is a current shortage of drivers (has been for four years now). Though there are some of the big companies (minus one - Yellow - which went under a few months ago) most are independent operators who can pick and choose the loads they carry. (I have worked for two transportation companies over the past 20 years and we saw rates go up significantly as a result of the shortage...) I wouldn't casually dismiss this. It's not a total blockade or boycott, but if you get enough drivers to simply take other jobs, shipping into New York will get really expensive really fast...

        I know what you are saying, blarman. A lot of things can happen. I suspect if the leftists that run NYC are pushed harder they will not mend their ways and will go more commie than ever. IMHO, their hatred of Free America through the populist personality of Trump will burn hotter when they get stung by a bunch of free thinking truckers and their supporters. NYC lawfare, already proven to have teeth, will be aimed at those truckers and anyone on the MAGA list of "enemies". Let's see if they start burning down their own city. Let's see what NY State or the Fed does. Grab a BIG bag of popcorn.

    And given the shortage of truck drivers on the market, this isn't an idle threat. At a bare minimum, rates on loads to NY will go up.
