    The rates will rise to those areas and they will bill served.

    The empty threats of “trucker strikes” are just that.

    The rates probably won’t even have to go up all that much either before some office jockey force dispatches his immigrant company driver to go pick up the load.

    What good will a security guard do when police in riot gear haven't stopped them in certain cities?

    Good point.

    Also, a trucking company may ON PURPOSE send a truck in to 'see what happens'. They may have it worked out they get nice money from their insurance if 'this and this happens'.

    Drivers need be careful.

    What a load of crap.
    Fear mongering is what that video is all about.

    He mentions Minneapolis, when nothing has been going on there except for the beginning of all this.
    There are a few small areas around the country, and that is all.
     
    gentleroger and DirtyBob Thank this.
