If even 20% of truckers “get Covid” it will cause a world of hurt for some people.
There is a huge difference between losing 20% of your trucking capacity nationally and a percentage of them refusing to go into a city.
Hate to break this to you but independent truckers pick and choose all teh time where and where not to deliver. My BIL has been an OTR Trucker for decades, he long ago decided going into NYC wasn’t worth it, and hasn’t taken a load into the city in decades. Others make the same decisions for whatever reasons they have.
Trucking by its very nature is diversified, so to have an effective boycott isn’t impossible, but not easy. Independent drivers do whatever they want, pick and choose loads by whatever criteria they want. Shippers if they can’t get drivers to deliver up the price offered for shipments, and while some drivers won’t budge, others will.
I support what they are trying to do, but color me skeptical it will have any major impact. For every Trump supporter who will refuse to go into NYC for this, there are a ton of foreign born drivers who care nothing about US politics who will enjoy the higher prices they get to go there.
We shall see.
