    Yeah, Bennie. I think we all remember your critique of 2020 protestors/rioters.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I'd be very surprised if the rigs are allowed to enter DC, even if it means setting up 100 or more checkpoints to cover every highway and secondary road leading into the city.

    Too little, too late?

    This sounds less like joining the Canadians speaking out and more like going in begging for a response.

    In any case they should bring empty trailers. This is DC they will surround and the natives their will kill you for your watch, never mind for your cargo.
    Let's go Brandon !!!

    Either way, this could be interesting.

    The People’s Convoy Route (subject to change)

    Day 1: Wednesday, February 23 Morning – Depart Adelanto Stadium, CA Evening – Arrive in Kingman, AZ for overnight stay
    Day 2: Thursday, February 24 Morning – Depart Kingman, AZ head east on I-40, toward Lupton, AZ Evening – Arrive in Lupton, AZ for overnight stay
    Day 3: Friday, February 25 Morning – Depart Lupton, AZ on I-40 eastbound thru New Mexico Evening – Arrive in Glenrio, TX for overnight stay

    Day 4: Saturday, February 26 Morning – Depart Glenrio, TX Evening – Arrive in Elk City, OK area for overnight stay
    Day 5: Sunday, February 27 Morning – Depart Elk City, OK area Evening – Arrive in Vinita, OK area for overnight stay
    Day 6: Monday, February 28 Morning – Depart Vinita, OK area Evening – Arrive in Sullivan, MO area for overnight stay

    Day 7: Tuesday, March 1 Morning – Depart Sullivan, MO area Evening – Arrive in Indianapolis, IN area for overnight stay
    Day 8: Wednesday, March 2 Morning – Depart Indianapolis, IN area Evening – Pause for rest in Indianapolis, IN area for overnight stay
    Day 9: Thursday, March 3 Morning – Depart Indianapolis, IN area Evening – Arrive in Cambridge, OH area for overnight stay
    Day 10: Friday, March 4 Morning – Depart Cambridge, OH area Evening – Arrive in Hagerstown, MD area for overnight stay
    Day 11: Saturday, March 5 Morning – Depart Hagerstown, MD area Evening – Arrive in the DC Beltway area
    I'm puzzled by the schedule from Hagerstown to DC. It's only 1 1/2 hours or so unless they plan on crawling along at 20 mph.

    There are many restrictions and roads that ban commercial trucks into DC. Lots of low overpasses also restrict where trucks can go.

    With a thousand rigs on the road, perhaps they expect traffic to be rather slow.

    At least it's a Saturday so the normal rush hour won't be in play at least for the group Finders posted the schedule for.
    There's apparently more than one group that will be here on differing days.

    I did when my office was on the Orange line. I live at the end of the Orange line. Where my office is now it would take longer to metro than to drive.

    There's a cool overpass over I70 just outside of Frederick with a pedestrian walkway. I may just go check it out.
