Trump-supporting truckers are saying they are refusing to drive to New York City after the former president was slapped with a $355 million fine in his fraud case last week.
A conservative social media influencer and trucker who goes by Chicago Ray posted a video clip in which he claims that some of his colleagues are going to stop making deliveries to New York City to protest the ruling, issued in Manhattan Supreme court on Friday.
“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the past hour and I’ve talked to about ten drivers … and they’re going to start refusing loads to New York City starting on Monday,

TEN drivers? Whoop-de-doo. That's just spitting into the wind and won't hurt NY at all. It'll take a thousand refusals to wake New York up. Now if 1000 trucks were also to mosey to and through NY at only 1 mile per hour....THAT would be a REAL party.

Give it a chance, #1. This is just kicking off.
IIRC, the average supermarket has a three day supply of food and NYC already has a lot of food deserts due to theft by the usual suspects. The ensuing food riots could make the George Floyd days look like a kid’s tea party. But without the tea and cookies.
Meanwhile, keep the buses of illegals coming.

#1, you can't get to 1000 without 1. Everything has to start somewhere. And if it remains 10, it still had an impact. But I imagine it will grow. This is like people online complaining that SOMEONE needs to do something.... but that someone is never them. These people are doing what they can, and they are a beginning. I say kudos to them, and pray their number will grow. If it doesn't, I still applaud them for taking a stand. I have a sign in my classroom which reads, "you'll never regret doing the right thing". These truckers are doing the right thing. Good on them.

Driving a truck into NYC is not a picnic in any season or political climate. A trucker must get in, unload, and get out before 5:00 am or remain in a gridlock that is New York rush hour for half a day. You can tell by the eastbound truck traffic on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania on Sunday night, it's heavy and intense. This word will spread quickly as truckers communicate better than anyone via CB and HAM radio. This could put the nails in the coffin for New York City and the feds can't do anything to anybody about it for NOT driving into that jungle. Leave it to truckers to come up with the perfect response. Judge Engoron will go into hiding for months after this disaster plays out.

Following the Bud Light example, there are things that can be done to get NY's attention.
Planning on going to Niagra Falls or the upstate mountain resorts, don't.
Shopping on on line at a NY based company, don't.
Planning a corporate meeting in NY, don't.
No Broadway tickets, no tickets to any stadium or concert.
No more Madison Ave hires for PR.
No more clothes from the garment district.
Follow the lead of the truckers.
Bud Light show that it can be done.

With any luck, Noo Yawk is about to find out what Jimmy Hoffa said years ago about the secret to his union's power: in America, whatever you have was brought to you by a truck - even if it's another truck. The Rotten Apple residents all think they're the center of the universe. It would be great fun to watch them all beating each other up for a dozen eggs and a loaf of bread.
Go get 'em, truckers! MAGA!

Smells like a psyop to me. Some libs say a massive MAGA trucker's strike is going to happen and then when it doesn't MAGA looks weak. I hope it is for real but I have doubts.

There's a bible verse that says 'Despise not the Day of small beginnings!" This applies to our truckers who refuse to drive into New York because of what the New York Courts are doing to President Trump. God bless you truckers! Go get them!
