I think this 23-percent are people who haul mostly only in the south and see zero-chance that a no-police stance will occur in any southern city.

It’s like bringing up Nashville. It’ll just never happen....same for Dallas.

Since Minneapolis is on the front side of this....lets see how long they survive without an adequate logistics situation. If you can only buy food from a grocery operation 100 miles outside of town....how long will gas supply trucks still stock up gas stations in Minneapolis? National Guard will get a call to provide convoy efforts, and we will be in the Afghanistan model.

This is playing out like ‘Atlas Shrugged’.

I read the book a couple times, and you are RIGHT!

Excellent.

Why isn’t it 100%? Nothing is ever 100%. Some drivers are black. Some won’t say so, but they will look for ways to avoid delivery.

77% is big.

Truck drivers are in big demand. They don’t have to go anywhere they don’t want to go. Employment is not a problem for them.

It’s called undecided. And some people never answer any poll. It’s OK to not respond.

This is the reason why the police are being disbanded so they can start the “cleansing” process earlier. With not deliveries it’s only a matter of time.

I’m recently retired from long haul trucking which means I’ve picked up/delivered in just about every Democrat sh!thole city in America. There is no way I would do it if the police were defunded. Not only for personal safety reasons but also for political reasons.

If I were a CDL, I wouldn’t deliver to Mineeapolis or Seattle, either.

You wouldn’t have to. Truckers have no shortage of work opportunities. They can pick and chose what they want to do. Why run the risk,of damage to your rig or lose valuable time and money stuck in a riot situation? Too many other safer and more profitable jobs out there for them.

DJT has been neutered by the FBI, the DOD and the military Brass

You can add the backstabbing GOP to that list.

This is playing out like ‘Atlas Shrugged’.@@@@@@@@@@

When you walk away from Collectivism in any form and refuse to play their game they are powerless. They only coerce, take, and confiscate (in the end at the point of a gun with or without the cover of legitimacy) for their ends justify their means.

Collectivists by nature are not builders, creators, or lovers of liberty. They are licentious by nature, unable of love, compassion, or care for either themselves or their fellow man.

These people do evil and love the doing of it and according to Romans God will give them over to a reprobate mind. It’s what we see playing out in real time today in the streets and in the mainstream media.

Pray for our Nation, our Leaders, and our people for WWG1WGA!

There is a shortage here in CA. On of my fellow Knights of C is a truck driver and the industry needs more. The good thing is due to shortage he picks his rates (which is higher) , and his routes.

There was a time 2 weeks ago and the company said “Washington state”. He simply asked “where in Wa.?” and it took a lot of prodding to say Seattle. He knows a lot of truckers dont go to major cities nowadays and for good reason.

Actually, big fleet drivers cannot refuse any load. They work under a forced dispatch mode. Refuse and you are fired.

Not so. Every communist nation nationalizes industries and forces people to work doing what they're told ... or else. Their power in a civil society relies on consent of the people. But they do not want a civil society, they seek a totalitarian state where we do what we're told at the point of a gun. Ever single time this is how it plays out with communism. Fortunately the left has never had the power to pull that off, but make no mistake, that's their goal.

The fact that the military leaders (SecDef, multiple former generals) are basically supporting a leftwing mob and the cops proved to be willing servants to enforce illegal and unconstitutional lockdowns makes me concerned that the left is far closer to having the guns than ever before.
