Hate to see them make the sacrifice alone but I wish them well and resolve.

“ I think this is overblown but maybe some truckers can comment. I would be happy if I’m wrong. 16% of truckers are independent, doesn’t sound like enough. Some will be too worried about money to get involved. I don’t know how well indy truckers are doing these days.”

Truckers will know who is delivering loads to NYC and those rigs may have problems if they stop and leave their rig unattended for even a short period. They will be treated just like Union Scabs.

Truckers and Farmers are the lifeblood of society.

You sure got that right!

Oh, Lord! Please send us more of them deplorables!

Like these aholes, right here - https://corp.gamaus.com/, a shady business syndicate that operates in the grey areas of retail. When you click around that website you see lots of stock photos of caucasians around, maybe even some black. Find and click the link for the board of directors then you see what's really up. They buy large amounts of inventory at places like Costco, Sam's Club and some various of under-table sources, shuttle it around to warehouses for distribution to the membership stores. Saw some of these same jokers buying up entire aisles of fresh meat and other groceries with cash back in 2020 when the covid lockdown ordeal got into full swing. They were making sure their businesses were gonna stay stocked and with luck be a sole supplier who could set their own prices in whatever jurisdiction they were in.
 
They were rather wobbly and seemed to be circling the drain, until covid hit. Then suddenly they were in the money and even expanding operations. They HAD to have snatched up covid relief money, and a LOT of it too, there's no other explanation.
 
I won't set foot in any store with a GAMA floor mat or decals on the door. I know what they are, what they do.

Correct, but one reason for Aldi to limit such outfits from cleaning them out of stock is that Aldi has a limited selection of everything by design - they have a smaller and cheaper-to-run store as a result. The problem for that model is that if someone cleans them out of several staples on a regular basis, their customers *will* go elsewhere rather than make multiple stops, causing a net loss. Stopping people from clearing out stock solves that problem quite nicely for them.

To be fair, the warehouse stores like Costco and Sam’s Club are actually set up to do that and market to business specifically to do that. If you look, both those companies were originally opened to sell to *businesses* and consumers were an afterthought.

The loads and costs will shift around. If only 25% of the rigs that are permitted boycott NYC then the cost to get loads in will go up a bunch. If it gets to 50% they will suffer high prices and shortages. If it hits 75% then NYC is in trouble. We will see.

“living in New York City”

I’d have to be hauled away in chains to go there.

But resale, outside of the contractual chain? The problem is that they bypass contracting with and buying direct from manufacturers, which gets them into legal trouble. I know guys from Dr. Pepper and other suppliers that would routinely bust those places for such end-run activity. No, they're shady.

Did any of those truckers take out loans from a New York Bank?

If so, that Soros bimbo Letitia James could haul them into court, steal their trucks, railroad them and fine them millions.

Don't borrow from New York Banks - borrow money from Florida banks.

If I were a trucker, I would happily join a boycott of deliveries to NYC, Not only because of the persecution of Trump but mostly because it is a nightmare to drive in the city.

I didn’t say they weren’t shady. Just pointing out that a business buying from Costco or Sam’s Club for resale is what those two’s business plans *are* and those people aren’t shady for doing that, particularly since they’re allowed to do so by their suppliers. If they’re buying from other non-warehouse stores and reselling - yeah, that’s absolutely shady.

The first injustice with this law is the invisible, un-knowable line you cross into fraud liability during ordinary commerce with a fully sophisticated bank.

The second is the absolute lack of a limiting principle in terms of how much you’ll be ordered to pay for your unavoidable transgression.

The third is the humiliation of having your payment enrich a government 100% controlled by your political enemies.

And the fourth is the absolute lack of any appellate option unless and until you pay the full amount of the judgment up front, at least into escrow.

What a perfect storm of injustice.

For different reasons, the East Coast of the U.S. is currently being simultaneously deprived of ease-of-access by inbound seaborne shipping through either the Panama Canal (drought conditions) OR the Suez Canal (Houthi attacks).

That leaves rail and OTR trucking.

Disrupting either to any appreciable extent while seaborne freight is being choked off would seem to constitute a real threat to supply/pricing stability going forward.

This situation really ought not to be brushed off as obviously insignificant.

How soon before this is illegal and they are all arrested and their trucks taken.

They should stop delivering booze to NY.   Maybe that would help some of these engoronic pinheads we've been watching there acquire some decency and common sense for a change.
