It seems more uncommon than common for OOIDA and the ATA to agree on something, but about the Canadian trucker blockades, they do.
"'I do not support any disturbance or destruction,' said Lewie Pugh, executive vice president of OOIDA and a long-time truck driver. While the group opposes the cross-border vaccine mandate that has inspired the Canadian protests, Pugh said the demonstrations are beginning to cost truckers the public’s support and goodwill.
"And the industry’s biggest trade group, the American Trucking Associations, said Thursday that it 'strongly opposes any protest activities that disrupt public safety and compromise the economic and national security of the United States.'” (Source)
If the Twitter posts under the trending #AmbasadorBridgeBlockade are an accurate indication, this outspoken minority of truckers are doing themselves no favors by behaving as they are.
