    I'm doing the protest trifecta starting tomorrow. I pick up in Berkeley CA at noon, deliver in Portland OR and Seattle WA over the next 2 days. Glad my insurance is paid up.

    Posted in another thread but I should put in this one. I found Snap Map where you can zoom into wherever you are in the country and see what people are posting from their phones. Basically can tell exactly where the riots are and what is happening in real time like your on the ground.

    They also said the truck driver did not run or break through any barricade, but must have gotten through before they were put up.

    So sure it is the drivers fault, are you?
    Maybe you should wait before declaring judgement when you really have no facts in the matter.

    I drove all the way around on 1960 to avoid going thru town just in case. Wasted an hour and a half but better safe than sorry.

    Yeah If this is going to continue I'm going to tell my company to pay for actual miles or send me home because I'm not going to drive through disputed territory or war zones.

    Once upon a time I received hazardous duty pay for this type of work. (Not to mention, I was also carrying an actual real assault rifle, with several others also carrying the same weapons with a world of defense around us other than that)

    The old saying rather be caught with it than w/o. Even in commie ny the Sig stays by my side and a lot of other drivers do the same

    Well, if there’s ever been a time for Truckers to strike, nows the time. That settles it, I’m officially on strike.Sounds so much better, than sitting around collecting Unemployment. I will remain on strike, till July 25th, at least, when my Unemployment runs out. Meanwhile, who’s with Me? Solidarity!!! No demands, no complaints, just on strike. I knew as soon as they had their a##es covered, with toilet paper, they’d start showing it.

    What would the strike be about? Better quality roller dogs and softer #### paper for their hiney. Also gonna need some translators for the 3-5 other non English speaking.

    Free flip flops and Adidas clothing maybe to bring in more ppl. LOL sorry
