Well I'm going to be a little generous here and explain from a trucker's perspective a video that made its rounds a little bit

https://youtu.be/M8sWsyAzYF4

So from the start of the video the trucker has obviously driven into a group of protesters, this is a severe problem tractor trailer trucks are very limited in the routes we can take, when you are 75ft+ long and weight 80,000 lbs the number of Roads you can drive on is very limited because they have to be engineered to handle us because we will crack pavement.

We need space to maneuver and we need roads designed to handle our weight.

The next thing here is that they're yelling at a FedEx truck driver to back up, I wouldn't even backup my rig in this situation, we cannot see what is directly behind us in fact most of the times and were backing up we curved ourselves to be able to see what was behind us when we start backing but then we can't see directly behind us

But this FedEx truck cannot backup at all

He is driving what are called Doubles, double trailers, or pups, or in cb lingo Wiggle Wagons, cannot possibly backup more than about 10 to 15 ft before they start going completely out of control

They are only good for going forward, not that I would go backwards even with a single 53-foot trailer because with this many people around me with this much going on around me to back straight up I would have to be getting out of my tractor trailer truck to look what is directly behind me because you could park a car behind me and I wouldn't be able to see them

So he did exactly what we are trained to do in and have orders to do, don't stop, go slow and keep moving, don't let our equipment get disabled and drive through the crowd to safety then stop where it is safe

And the funny part is is you can put a car in front of us and we will just move it out of the way, the weight of a car is basically a heavy pallet to the amount of power we have

I had a car slide out of control on winter roads and slam into me head-on at about 25 miles per hour while I was stopped, the car was totaled the driver had to be put in an ambulance and taken out, and I had to use two zip ties to stabilize cracked front bumper to drive it a 150 miles to get fixed which was basically just put a new front bumper on

My best advice is don't block the roads, we don't stop quickly, we weigh a lot more than you think, we have more power than you think, and we know what happens if a mob pulls us out of our truck, and at the end of the day none of us want to hurt anybody, but we want to get home at the end of our shift like any other worker.

John Ward does it again. This needs to be watched by everyone! I just think it's rude to use that tag.
