    Hello all,

    I am not a trucker. But I am doing a bit of research to find out if the protests are affecting your routes. Mostly, I am just a curious 'prepper' (I have a news website), and am active on another forum that discusses survivalist issues.

    There's been some talk about how the protests could affect trucking, but nobody knows for sure and there's mainly conjecture being passed around.

    Could you be so kind as to enlighten me?

    Thank you so much for taking time out to help me out. :)

    I haven't had any problems but I have a tendency to avoid those areas where the protests are being held like the plague anyway.

    I don't mind the protest just get out the #### interstate. Go protest at the courts & police stations. Protesting in the middle of I-75 in Atlanta, I-95 in New York/CT or I-70 in STL ain't going to solve a #### thing. But to answer your question, No, they haven't

    I don't get it; police kill someone with a criminal background and people protest. If the police coddle the criminals, people protest that the police aren't protecting the community. No, it doesn't affect trucking because the protesters IQ's are too low to qualify as a truck driver. Protesting is an excuse to take off work or delay looking for work. Protesting is a big scam pulled off by lazy people and people with mental health issues.

    I hate those protestors. That is sure way to destroy your own country. They should be all arrested. I been for long time in one country where we had protests like that. Overtime those protest become worst and worst and on the end country fell a part.

    I think protests like that should be banned and those people should in jail for 1-2 year each.

    It's not really a problem. We hear about it on the CB and just go around it, like we do when there are accidents that block the road.

    The cop wouldn't have shot him if he hadn't put himself in a situation where he could be shot. One less thug to put up with, plus the state doesn't have to spend thousands on his future imprisonment.
