Truckers won’t deliver to copless cities. Truckers from all over the country are weighing in on the possibility of cites that are defunding the police and they are saying they will not take loads to such places. Truckers have it tough enough without having the law on their side. The title “truck driver” is considered one of the most dangerous jobs in america, so having no protection would take that to an all new level. Imagine if you will a truck driver delivering a load to a lawless city? Now imagine the the statistics of robberies, muggings and even murders climbing at record speeds. Truckers have been answering the call to deliver during the corona virus times and they have even made some deliveries to areas where the riots have taken place but that is where most are drawing the line. Truck drivers would not only be in danger of being hurt or killed but they would also be in danger of being prosecuted by such cities if the trucker were to defend himself and hurt a potential attacker. There are many reasons why truckers will not deliver but the bottom line is it is a no win situation.

You are the captain of the ship drivers

TalkCDL Trucking Podcast — All about Trucking

We have been telling drivers for many years that they are the captain of their ship. Being told you have to deliver into a danger zone such as a lawless city is not different than being told you have to drive in unsafe weather. It is also no different than being told to run past your allotted hours of service or even asked to drive when you are tired and feel unsafe. There is absolutely no difference and if you decide to give in to pressure and take a load into a danger zone such as an area of rioting, you will be held responsible. When you move forward in the direction of danger, you are the one with the final decision and the courts will hold you accountable more than the rest. Ultimately you must make the decision of refusing that load even if it means your job, period.

A city without trucking

Truckers won’t deliver to copless cities. A city that has cut off their supply of essential resources is a city that will fall. Imagine a city that does not have goods coming into feed their children. After a week no more water in the shelf, no gas and food altogether will be hard to find. Every person that is a good hard working skillful laborer will leave in search of a new life. The only ones Left will be a lawless generation. Sixty Five percent will not know how to survive with out help and will start looking for others to rob. The ones that stayed being that are capable and have stored up food and money will become targets. The ones that do know how to plant and hunt will also become victims. Is a short time the city will look like something out of a Steven King movies. Have you ever seen the movie “Escape from New York”? Just a mad house run by hoodlums and only the strong survive! A true apocalypse!

The this blue line

The thin blue line is a concept developed by cops. It is said that if you are a cop, you should never rat on your brother cops. The problem with this concept is this. |The only ones preaching this are the ones breaking rules. Then bad cops that bully the good cops into protecting them when they hide evidence, beat someone down or even make false arrests. These cops are trained from rookies status to protect each other whether they are right or wrong. The problem with is a cop takes an oath to protect all people and uphold the law. This needs to be applied even to police that break the law.
