In your video you can sure tell the company trucks from the owner operators.
Modern aerodynamic tractor is “probably” a company truck (or a trucker with decent math skills), and the Flat Nose tractors though cool as shit are “probably”
Owner Operators….& any extra lighting (beyond driving lights) Is for sure an Owner Operator.
Any protests like this, west of the Ontario/Manitoba border, is a waste of money and time.
We are dealing with Lib tarts here!!

Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturing Association, said the trucking shortages, now exacerbated by the mandates, will cost parts makers in both Canada and the United States. His members will now be competing with those wanting to move all kinds of goods as they seek truck space and drivers.
While Volpe is a strong supporter of vaccinations, he said the way the mandates were brought in by governments in both countries wasn’t handled well.
“They have to be sensitive and flexible to what is happening,” Volpe said.
It looked like the government was going to be flexible in favour of keeping goods moving when late last week it announced the mandate would be delayed. However, less than 24 hours later, the government returned to its previous position and has refused to consider pleas from various industries.

LILLEY: Trudeau made trucker shortage worse, but you'll pay for it — Toronto Sun
Canada’s already fragile supply chain was struck a blow last week by the Trudeau government. It couldn’t have come at a worse time and will ultimately drive up the cost of everyday goods. The vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers comes as the industry deals with a severe shortage of drivers...
There is a $2 Million go fund me page open and they are up to $1.5 Million in funding to support the protest
Support our truckers. Phuk the politicians. Without the truckers we would not be living the life that we are living now. Go, truckers, go.
PS: I love those three new words "truck off, Trudeau". Ya, fascist Trudeau, truck off arse hole.
WARMINGTON: Convoy of truckers against vaccine mandates ready to roll on Ottawa

A fundraising effort for a convoy of protesting truckers heading to Ottawa from across Canada has topped $2 million in donations.
With more than 26,000 people donating, and thousands of truckers expected to protest vaccine mandates and cross-border supply chain concerns, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may soon see a groundswell of emotion, anger and concern.
Truckers are planning a massive demonstration on highways across the country, with many set to leave British Columbia Sunday before landing in Ottawa on Jan. 29.
“To our fellow Canadians, the time for political overreach is over,” the Freedom Convoy GoFundMe page says. “Our current government is implementing rules and mandates that are destroying the foundation of our businesses, industries and livelihoods.”
Those organizing the convoy say “small businesses are being destroyed, homes are being destroyed and people are being mistreated and denied fundamental necessities to survive. It’s our duty as Canadians to put an end to these mandates.”....More
I am all in, brother. It is time to end this pile of covid bullshit once and for all, and let's all just take back our rights and freedoms that we once enjoyed as freedom loving Canadians that were stolen from us almost two years ago. But I will never be satisfied until all of those politicians that pushed all of these illegal and discriminatory covid mandates are all arrested, charged and put in prison for the crimes that they have committed against Canadians and the despicable crimes against humanity. This must never be allowed to ever happen again over some fake and phony big pharma made up globalist pile of donkey manure and possibly a lab created virus.
Go, truckers, go. Truck off, Trudeau.
They should bypass Ottawa as that will only give snivel servants more time off . Clog all Toronto arteries and that will get attention .
I think that every Canadian should bypass Ottawa. It's has become a home and a place for liars, cheats, and thieves to thrive in. The only thing that will get their attention is with lawsuits against the government because even though I am all in favor of these truckers and their plight it appears as though our derelict and useless politicians will just look out their office windows and will laugh and stick their middle finger up in the air at anyone who dares to demonstrate.
Probably the best way to demonstrate is to go to their homes and demonstrate in front of their homes and stay there until they finally do listen to we the peasants and finally get the message that we will not tolerate their hatred and intolerance towards we the peasants anymore. Just saying.
Yeah, the 'rally' at the border was STUPID here (NB/NS).
There was an MVA and it took an hour and a half for a tow truck to get to the scene. No one hurt, thankfully, but...
Not that it mattered. "Freedumb!" And no these idiots on parade did NOT stand up for "All" Canadian rights or freedoms. Certainly not mine.
But...
Here's what occurred to me after seeing the posts about the 'trucker's on parade' today.
Say Government - both provincial and fed - stop doing things with Covid. Just said "Okay, will of the people, they want us to stop, so we will."
Do these people realize what that means?
A) No Government help at all to anyone (it's limited now, that'd stop for all)
B) No vaccinations for free; you pay out of pocket for them.
C) No vaccinations required; the big issue for most everyone. So no more vaccinations. And when people start getting sick, sicker, or dying? Well, who is to blame?
D) International travel isn't stopped anymore. So people are 'free to travel' as is being desired. And now person X from Y country brings in a variant even worse than what we have now.
E) Back to vaccinations; no one gets them. But wait, immune compromised people or others at risk now can't go out or do anything, or chance exposure to Covid and suffering or dying from it... what about their "rights and freedoms"?
So ask yourself, what is the REAL issue here?
IMO, the real issue is people hate being told what they have to do regardless of the 'good' it is for (I look at it as they never grew up past the age of, say, 9 or 10 mentally, socially, empathically). The real issue is that they don't trust the governments THEY elected, or their 'fellow citizens' elected. The real issue is that they have trusted so easily and followed so blindly (sheeple?) the conspiracy surrounding the vaccinations that even if you give them proof of their error, they don't care.
The real issue is we're all sick and tired of this thing having control of our lives in a way nothing else ever has, without understanding that the very same people who are all about "Freedom!" are part of the reason this keeps BEING an issue.
Covid for the issue of supply? Nah, that was starting a while ago.
BTW Truckers and trucker supporters, 1) The US is implementing required vaccinations too; so will Canadian truckers protest at the US border? 2) Why aren't you protesting big companies? They're more involved in all this than even the Government.
Lots of other things that aren't being protested/brought up; easier to blame the Government.
Sorry about your luck . Change the name to Chuck and it will rhyme. Everyone will be complaining when it starts to hurt wallets and bellies . Must be nice living with the comfort of a government cheque .
No the USA is not enforcing vaccines of truckers.. keep up the Fake News
Caught some of the convoy on Hwys 19 & 1 on the island. Tonnes of support along the way.
Cool beans!
