You are absolutely right. Wife of a trucker, here. While he will sympathize with the message, he is not likely to steal his company’s tractor, go to DC and rightfully lose his job over it. Godspeed to any owner / operators who may be participating though.
How many owner operators could really afford to do this?
Yep. They'd get a lot more drivers responding just by simply parking the rigs enroute to the delivery. No laws as such are broken and it would have the same impact sending the same message. That would also make it a nation wide possibility as well.
I don’t see any reason why millions of non-truckers, pickup truckers, bikers, automobile drivers can’t participate in an event like this. The message has little to do particularly to truckers and more specifically to Americans. I made two trips to that cesspool this month and am not opposed to making another trip next month.
