Pentagon approves requests for National Guard as trucker convoy eyes D.C.

I'm not aware of any vaccine mandates for truckers in the US.

The only one in place would be if they wanted to enter Canada. But hardly any U.S. trucks go to Canada anyway. Most cross-border shipments are hauled by Canadian carriers, 95% of which are already vaccinated, so this isn't and never was a real issue.

I work with a LOT of truck drivers and the smartest one I know told me recently that he isn't vaccinated but, if a state like CA were to implement a vaccine requirement, he would get it because freight rates to/from CA would soar overnight and he would gladly take that money.

The rest of the drivers I know are working their asses off instead of screwing around with this shit because rates are at historic highs and they are making more right now than they ever have.

This D.C. protest has barely caught the interest of trucking industry media, yet MSM is lapping it up. That leads me to believe MSM is trying provoke another FreeDUMB Convoy or Jan 6 for the sweet, sweet clicks.
