Chicago, IL – The co-owner and vice president of a large refrigerated fleet is speaking out and issuing a warning to leaders and residents of cities defunding police.
In a series of recent national and international media interviews, Mike Kucharski, co-owner and V.P. of Illinois-based JKC Trucking, is pulling no punches when it comes to the growing “Defund the Police” movement.
Kucharski, who is a second-generation truck driver, says he was once attacked by an intruder who burst into his truck while making a delivery, and refuses to send his drivers into areas without the presence of law enforcement.
“No load or cargo is worth my driver’s life or safety,” he recently told Canadian radio show host Roy Green. “JKC supports our drivers and police is the critical part of protecting our drivers on the road.”
Kucharski indicated JKC drivers are also expressing their concerns.
“Most of my drivers have already come to me and said, ‘Hey, are we going to have to go into these states?,'” Kucharski told Green.

GREAT GREAT posting... I saw that and was going to post it too but you beat me to that....
Truckers gotta realize the power they have. And you are RIGHT Mr. @kemosabi49 ... as more trucks encounter violent demonstrations and are caught in those, they will refuse going there again... More power to the truckers and trucking companies that speak out and refuse to go to those unsafe places...
