Truckers are purportedly organizing a boycott of New York City, refusing to transport shipment to the big city. This action follows the recent civil fraud verdict against former President Donald Trump, who was fined $355 million in a civil fraud verdict on Friday.
Judge Arthur Engoron issued the ruling on Friday, which also includes a three-year ban preventing President Trump from serving as a director in a New York firm.
According to one trucker’s social media post, the decision to boycott arose in response to the verdict, with some truckers already informing their employers.
In a video posted on X by a driver named Chicago Ray, the trucker mentioned that he had conversed with fellow drivers, and they unanimously decided to stop accepting loads destined for the city.
He mentioned in the video, “I’ve been on the radio chatting with drivers for the past hour, hour and fifteen minutes. I’ve spoken to at least ten drivers, and they’ve all agreed to stop accepting loads in New York City starting Monday.”
I don’t know how far across the country this is, or how many truckers are going to start denying loads to New York City.
‘I tell you what, you f*** around and find out. We are tired of you leftists f***ing with Trump. Motherf***ers are getting tired of this s**t.
‘Our bosses ain’t gonna care about these loads, we will just go somewhere else. Do you know how f***ing hard it is to get into New York City with one of these?
‘I don’t wish nothing on nobody, but what I am hearing, this is real. We will see, leave Trump the f**k alone with the bulls***. It’s election interference.
‘I hate to say it, but truckers are for Trump. Ain’t no motherf***ers are for Biden.’

Addressing reporters outside his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Trump blasted Judge Arthur Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James.
President Trump asserted, “I’ve paid around $300 million in taxes while newcomers flood into New York and attempt to oust me. These individuals are radical left democrats, they’re irrational. This amounts to election interference.”
Additionally, he said that the Department of Justice and Joe Biden were behind the initiation of the case, labeling it as election interference..
