“Truck drivers have CBs, will travel. As soon as one truck is stupid enough to display anything like Nazi, fascist, confederate, etc, that driver(s) is going to be confronted by other drivers immediately.”
So you say, with best intentions. Exactly how will this confrontation happen? Honking a code? Ramming the offending troll truck at 70MPH?
Can’t you understand how easy this convoy will be to sabotage?
The fact that infiltrators are expected, will let everyone know they have to watch and listen for the bad guys. Chatter will identify anything suspicious quickly, and that driver will be stopping somewhere if only for a minute.
About 18 yrs ago I was trucking west one winter night on I-74 between Champaign and Bloomington, Il, when a clever plan developed to get a bad driver in a car off the road. The guy was possibly under the influence of something but was not driving eradically. He just wouldn’t get out of the ‘hammer’ (fast) lane.
He would drive along side a slow truck, and hold up traffic. If the slow truck slowed way down, the nut would stomp it up to the next slow truck and drive along side it. He would even drive in the fast lane to keep from being passed, then move to the slow lane if someone tried to pass on the right.
I was about a mile behind and heard the whole sequence, and flat as it is through there could see it unfold:
The dude caught up to a couple of slower trucks that purposely ran side by side, which forced him to pass on the shoulder (emergency lane), but that didn’t work because a truck in front of the truck in the right lane moved over too and slowed down. Now there were three trucks side by side blocking this dude at 65 mph. They slowed to about 50, as other trucks came up from behind. He had nowhere to go, as there was several inches of snow off the pavement (pavement was dry).
All this chatter had been monitored by a state trooper who came up, with discos on, and blew by me in pursuit. The chatter alerted the trucks to move to the slow lane, and let the trooper through.
If the trooper hadn’t come, the plan was to ‘escort him’ up the next off ramp. There was one trucker involved that said he had done something similar in the past. He calmly directed the whole thing, and was the truck that blocked the emergency lane.
