Not going to happen.

Biggest problem is that the trucking game is very cut throat. Guys are always trying to undercut each other in the Houston area. And I doubt it's different in NYC.

Sure some will. They'll make other decisions later. Trucking is as cut throat an industry as it comes. It's why drivers get treated so shitty at times. Some won't but someone will.

Not just independents at least some trucking companies are joining the boycott:

Oooh I'm drivin my life away

Well, the truck stop cutie comin' on to me
Tried to talk me into a ride, said I wouldn't be sorry
But she was just a baby
Hey, waitress, pour me another cup of coffee
Pop it down, jack me up, shoot me out, flyin' down the highway
Lookin' for the mornin'
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away

remember the Canadian truckers? they were stopped by their bank accounts getting frozen by their govt.

I hate to rain on any parade but Biden would do this...

owners, yes. Truck drivers are like mechanics, they can leave here today, and work there tomorrow.

The food hoarding on top of any slow down in deliveries would exacerbate this bigly.

Again, all it will do is raise the prices going into the city.
It is already expensive enough to haul into that city.

I’m not a Trump fan.
But I would love to see people do this.

Things like this give me hope.

They will be called the worst of names by the cathedral.
