For years, the only way into Detroit was to stop at the 76 Truck Stop outside the city. Get delivery instructions to the warehouses and dump the loads there. That adds a shuttle cost and storage cost to everything going into the city.

All you need is a few who want to go side by side VERY slowly on the bridges and tunnels.
That's normal NYC traffic.

i have a family member who is a truck driver and he has refused to go back to NYC for ages now.
Geez I bet. Watching those big trucks trying to navigate downtown around Grand Central, in the rain, millions of people not giving a shite crossing the road.
Could not pay me enough to put up with that stress.

Don't be ridiculous and stupid if they have loads currently, they will deliver. Dollars and employment mean something .

Someone will truck it in.
Just be at a premium which will add to the cost of goods inside NY.
A lot of these people walk and depend on public transportation.
I would sit back and charge a NYC upcharge, toll tax fee, and NYC legal fee, to all my loads going into the city.

I’m not a trucker; just passing along the info since it’s been on my X timeline quite a bit today.

Sure. But I’m pretty sure they're talking about not taking any future orders/shipments that require an NYC dropoff.

They didn’t say they were quitting their jobs. There’s plenty of business to be had in non-NYC zip codes. It appears that’s an adjustment these guys are willing to make.

Bet these truckers’ final straw was when Biden said they had to help pay off student loans for the purple-haired Women and Gender Studies majors. That or help pay for Zelensky’s new beachfront property and luxury vehicles.
Or maybe even when they realized their tax dollars were funding illegals’ flights across the country….as they drive it for hours on end.
I don’t know. So many final straws it could have been.

The “Freedom Convoy” was going to shut down DC a couple of years ago
The “Take our Border Back” convoy was going to head to Eagle Pass and shut the border down
French Truckers and farmers were going to shut down Paris, the city “only had 3 days of food”
Will a couple of dozen guys not go to NYC? Sure. Will it amount to anything? No

Disruptments of anything going in or out in a major metropolitan area can be felt immediately
Take a city that a lot of poor people are already on edge bc of shipping in of illegal immigrants and taking up of resources on top of that & you have a recipe for disaster
Miss a few fresh food deliveries and some trash pickups & we could see some more summer of love videos out of NYC

Like all 12 truckers that were part of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy?
Posted on 2/17/24 at 4:47 pm to EKG
Lots of bluster....lots of talk like God's truckers who were largely missed as a spectator event a few weeks ago
Posted on 2/17/24 at 4:49 pm to EKG
Send them 100% of the illegals while we’re at it

It won't happen. Keyboard promises

So one random truck driver’s video is supposed to represent the intentions of all other truck drivers in that part of the country?

Thread is about NYC, and you talk about the entire state of New York. Weird.

As a retired trucker of 44 years, this is just CB talk. Nothing to it.
