Word is the convoy coming through Georgia and the Carolinas is almost 700 trucks long. It’s a great start.
Go to the border and park your rigs gents. Don’t let anything pass into Canada until the mandates are either lifted or little potato resigns. Whichever comes first.
Shut it all down.

Are the truckers going to be our Minutemen? Some of them are putting their dicks on the chopping block. “They” have to have the truckers. God Bless them.
This group has the best chance of any to fight the tyranny being thrust upon us by evil governments. I support their efforts.
Not to mention…
…they’re all driving 80,000 pound WEAPONS.
Good for short, quick attacks, perhaps, but readily stopped by an armor-piercing round from a 30.06 or a 7.62mm through their engine blocks.
Best to have a bunch of firearms in those rigs too ….. Just in case.
No need for weapons… simply stopping ALL cargo is enough to bring about the desired results… When lil pony can’t get his soi latte’ things will get desperate.
I was thinking they might be necessary to stop authority types from pulling drivers from their cabs and commandeering the trucks, in order to reopen the border. It could happen, especially in a country already descending into extreme authoritarianism.
What are these truckdrivers going to do when armed Port Authority Agents and police [maybe some military contingents] and other “special agents” arrive armed to the teeth and point those arms in their direction?
I don’t believe this to be beyond the realm of possibilities considering Trudeau’s incredible willingness to trample on all people’s rights, without so much as batting an eye. It’s surreal — the calm manner in which he and others so calmly suppress human rights, and it’s EVIL.
They can and its certainly not above them to do this, as all communist regimes have done in the past. But they simply do not have the manpower to arrest and ‘comandeer’ the trucks.
Should they go this route… Then they will have overplayed their hand and the entire country will turn on them. Most of these law enforcements live among us… they do this… they may not have a home to come back to. Its a two sided coin.
But hey… Its canukistan, it cold and winter and we can be an obstinate bunch when pushed a little to far. Trustupid substitute drama teacher says they won’t back down… lol we’ll see… my money is on the truckers and all of us that support them.
Huge shout out and thanks to our American patriots coming up from SC in support.
They won’t shoot them if they just do nothing. The optics would be bad. If the government wants to get real shitty the truckers should simply disable their trucks in a strategic location and walk away.
18 wheelers. Parked trucks with18 flat tires should put a few tons of sand in the gears for quite sometime.

I don’t make the memes. I just post them. If yoar sensitive about spelling the internet mite not bea the rite plase four yew.
Especially when auto-correct or some glitch messes up your text. Humans are fallible, but it takes a computer to really screw things up.
Coffee and computers… helping humanity to screw things up faster…
The inventor of the ‘spell checker’ just passed away recently.
May he rest in piss.
okay … that was actually pretty funnee
well played.
I saw that on another site earlier in the week.
It fits perfectly here.
Computer may need an update?
Auto correct and spell check do not see context. Eye think ewe no watt aye mean. I try and reread every post but still do not always catch an error caused by clumsy fingers.
Misspelling on purpose also works to get people to re-read the tweet and better comprehend it. Auron Macintyre often misspells stuff, and he has a unique ability to distill issues down to utmost salience. I don’t think it’s by accident.
Thanks for that Observation, Iska! That actually does make a good bit of sense, and now I see it with new eyes.
Been there, done that
Old sales technique. Also putting a letter upside down or backwards wowrks pretty good unless it’s an O.
Ime ok with all kinds of mespelled words until someone spells “lose” loose. Then I losse it.
I love to throw in wrong spelling just to get the ECs riled up . EC was a most excellent spelling Nazi. Mags…. I’m looking at you..
I’m just out here raising rabbits and living off the fat of the land.
This is my Flemish Giant and her kits, plus one orphan I stole from another mother as an experiment. She feeds it, but she knows it ain’t hers.
Those are my Pyrenese’s old dog crates. These “babies” are five weeks old. Look how much bigger they are than the orphan, also five weeks.
That looks like a tasty wabbit dinner Maggie. Did you eat all of the rabbit in a jar yet?
Not that bunny… that is my pet rabbit and she will live in the back yard. What happens with her offspring will depend upon my success with the lionsmane buck. He may not be tall enough. We’ll find out.
I haven’t eaten canned rabbit for a while. I did grill a couple of young bucks not long ago. My friend Larry paid me for some rabbit food with four “dressed” rabbits from his freezer.
Kind of ironic.
This has to do with rabbits how? Did they get hit by a Canadian truck?
I get really upset about semicolons.
I get upset with a blocked colon.
I get more upset about clogged colons.
Nothing a double dose of MiraLAX® and a gallon of water can’t handle.
Just make sure to stay home that day. And grab ahold of something bolted down or you’ll rocket into the next county.
Hmmm…The average American has up to 20 pounds of impacted shit sludge lining their colon…maybe that’s the real reason for all the road rage???

Maybe the meme meant those that could not get in would sit with the boarder. $100 per night.
It’s a meme and by law, there must be at least one misspelled word.
he could just be spelling it in canadian
Maybe it’s a homage to the Third Amendment.
There are mny on TBP who make grammatical and spelling errors of whom I am chief.
Don’t youu mean cheif?
This will benefit both sides of the border. Truckers HAVE the power, not the govt, not the police, nor even the military. The little guy with resolve has all the power. Its why they fear us, and so they should, revolutions begin in pubs…
Lets all go to the pub…
Thank You Francis for posting this… cheers brother
Oh, Canada! My heart will explode if you can pull this off! ❤️🇨🇦
I have no idea if anything will come of this. But it’s nice to see people standing up for themselves for a change. It’s also a lot better to focus on the positive things happening around us. Too much bad news is not good for the soul.
Yes! I agree. It’s a long shot for sure, but at least they’re trying!! And, the massive support they have is awesome.
Not so sure its a long shot anymore…
Excellent.
I heard they froze the funds
Unfroze. There is a small team of lawyers and accountants handling it ‘sources say’.
When all is said and done any remaining funds will be donated to veterans associations.

You betcha.
As a kid when this came out, I used to have the lyrics memorized, ha. I loved it when they crashed the gate doin’ 98. I’d talk to truckers on my dad’s base station when he wasn’t around.
“I’d talk to truckers on my dad’s base station when he wasn’t around.”
Is that you, Teddy Bear?
Sadly, the Politicians and MSM will just label them right-wing MAGA extremists and blame all future shortages and problems on them
lol…. thats a given… and theres few that believe it any more… People know exactly who the problems are and to help short list that, it ain’t the truckers and their supporters.
I did my “google experiment”..this is when I type in something like “Canada Truckers” and see how google and the media spin things.
First, I had to type the entire words before Canada Trucker popped up in the autofill option. Then I got the expected, “Go FundMe to block funds, White Supremacists hold nation hostage and “Trucker Convoy is Canada’s Jan 6th”.. seriously, it is a mental disease and they spread the sickness all day, every day.
Its communist propaganda… did you really expect less???
Its google whose motto was “Do no evil’. It was apparently to long for brin so they shortened it to just ‘Do Evil’, they hate being told no…
Like no one thinks or operates outside of the Trump sphere
I think especially after this starts Saturday and lasts for I bet a week or more that those medias will suddenly look like idiots more than ever for pretending not to see the gravity of what’s really going on. The world is watching this and I think it will empower millions more to dig their heels in.
Could there have been any better show of force imagery!!!! Thousands BIG STURDY FIERCE trucks rolling together in force and a message of ‘no turning back’ glaring determination – the trucks that represent the lifeblood of living!
STUNNING development. There’s no way this isn’t going to be a historical turning point.
two weeks max… and mandates across the country disappear…
Or the military comes out
Our military??? ROTFLMAO…. snort…

Godspeed to the greatest Canadian peacetime mobilization ever (even tho this is an actual war)!! We even made the Guinness BOR for the longest convoy. If we don’t win here we are truly doomed. Please support us with everything you can muster.
Yep, got it. Good point.
It’s about time
This is What Democracy Looks Like: Brussels, Belgium (Today)
This is what we need to see spread all over the world…especially in the West!
This is what happens when police use brutal force to intimidate the citizenry into government compliance. People are pushed to either comply or start using violence in return and it will return.
The truckers are leading the way in noncompliance and they hold the power. Let this example lead the way before the violence becomes necessary. And if it becomes necessary, then target those responsible, government leaders, gates, bezo, brin, shwab etc etc…
Name one other group that wields as much power as the trucking industry has.
If they’re cohesive they can do great things and I hope they do. Cohesion is the problem though. At Southern California seaports the shipping lines, importers, exporters and unions are all powerful and are awash in money. The truckers, though, are at the bottom of the barrel because they’ll work too cheap. They can’t get together to become a power center and increase their take. It’s too bad because they could wield enormous power.
Who in the fuck made the meme for this article? It makes the piece seem as if it was prepared by an uneducated idiot. It’s “Border” — NOT “Boarder”. GOOD GRIEF!
Yoar a litle beehind the cerve hear buddy.
HAhaHahaHahahaha … YEP! Saw it after I wrote and posted. Tanks. Yur a Guud Gi! 🙂
I’m telling you if they can’t get in they will sit with the boarder. $100 per night.
You’d better believe self-driving trucks will be a priority in the next BBB plan.
Too bad it is a pipe dream that current technology can’t solve.
I wonder how they deal with flat tires. stuff happens.
Nailed it! I would like to add to your sentiment if i may . … if truckers on both sides of the border encounter resistance, is it not our obligation to get in the fight? Yes. I’m including myself. Bout time I (I’ll just speak for myself) stop letting others carry my water. What will I do? I’m not sure.
But if this isn’t the rallying cry, I don’t know what is.
It’s really a good thing!
motley, we can all get sick for 2 weeks. Don’t go to work.Don’t buy anyhting. Go Galt on a small scale.
Two weeks. It’s not always just 14 days anymore. We’re in the third year of two weeks to flatten the curve.
We are a RR community, and one railroader copy/pasted his coworker’s letter (below) on a local community fb group with 5000 members. BNSF-Berkshire Hathaway- Warren Buffet is just asking for a little help: (and Xiden is supplying the willing replacement workers)
I copied and pasted from a co-worker to briefly explain why there is currently talk of a strike with BNSF Railway employees over a soon-to-be insane attendance policy change. He is credited below…
I’ve been contemplating what to write and who to write it to ever since BNSF announced their new attendance policy. First off, I would like to address the fact that their reasoning for instituting this new policy is to remain competitive and service their customers more safely and efficiently. To address this matter, I would just like to point out that when I first started with the railroad in 2004, Matt Rose was CEO; we, for the most part, always had plenty of people on the extra boards, (even if it meant paying out a little bit of guarantee), and we had several yard jobs that could switch cars out and service customers as they needed. In doing so we were able to absorb a substantial amount of business from the UP, because they were unable to service their customers, as a result of them utilizing their “Precision Railroading” model. For some unknown reason, under CEO Carl Ice, even after we had basically taken over as the industry leader, we still continued to try to emulate the UP, (which is basically the same as a Carnival cruise ship trying to emulate the Titanic), and decided that in order for us to remain competitive that we must also adopt this precision railroading policy. As a result of this we began cutting the boards and jobs, which ultimately led to the physical and mental exhaustion of every railroader system wide. Due to the extreme amount of fatigue, and in order to physically restore some sort of rest and mentally recover, all TY&E trainmen were forced to layoff just so we could rest a day or so.
Secondly, when we hired on we were told that there are no such things as holidays, or days off on the railroad, you’re expected to be on call every hour of every day for your entire career and work every time you are called at any time of the day, no questions asked. When the trainmen began to utilize their ability to take off 25% of the time, which normally equates to 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days a month, (7 total), even if it was one of these holidays that weren’t supposed to exist on the railroad. The carrier began to try to institute, what they labeled as high impact days. These days could be determined at any time and any location at the carrier’s discretion. Local festivals could even be determined to be a high impact day for that location. Employees still utilizing their maximum of 25% of the time still were able to maneuver and take time off.
Instead of offering some sort of incentives for employees to stay marked up and working their high impact days, they have decided to punish the entire workforce by instituting this policy that no employee, even the ones that stay marked up 90% of the time are going to be able to maintain good attendance. If you take off 1 Wednesday a half you will hit availability violation within 8 months. That’s not reasonable, for a person to only be allowed off two days a month.
The other thing that EXTREMELY irritates me is when they label us as “part time” employees. If you have never worked, or lived with a railroader, then you have no understanding of the lifestyle that they live. We are on call 24 hours a day, every single day of the year, which eliminates being able to get too far away from your calling location. Once your called you have approximately 90 minutes to wrap up whatever you are doing, get your things packed and show up ready to go wherever, for an undetermined amount of time. A normal person considers their time at work to be from the time they leave their house to go to work to the time they return to their house. If a railroader does the same then they are, on average, at work for possibly 40 hours every time they go to work. The railroad tries to say that the time that we are expected to rest out at the hotel is not time at work, but I cannot spend time with my family, I cannot mow my yard, or take care of any other essential chores that are needing to be done at my house. They will even go as far as to say any 24 hour period spent in the hotel away from our homes and families is our day off, to reset our federally mandated time off. A 24 hour period at our away from home terminal; away from our families or our homes is ABSOLUTELY NOT a day off. They consider it as a day off which resets our starts and allows them to work us for another 6-7 straight days. So, a lot of the time in order to get some time off at home and get essential chores done at our own houses we are forced to layoff for a 24 hour period. The time that the carrier considers us at work is restricted to only the time that we are on the trains, not the entire time we are away from our families and our homes. Which normally, I still have more than 160 hours a month just on the trains. A normal full-time employee has 40 hour work weeks, 4 weeks a month which equates to 160 hours a month. So, with that in consideration, we are still very much, much more than a part time employee. To me this is a slap in the face of every employee on call 24/7.
I think back over my career and think about all the things that I have missed out on in my children’s lives and especially now wonder why. Why did I miss Christmas programs, choir, concerts, softball games, basketball games, football games, soccer games, wrestling matches, and awards programs etc. etc…. I did all this for a company that has no appreciation for me or any sacrifice that I or any other TYE employee has made so that they could run their trains. Now with this new HIVIZ policy it’s going to be even more sacrifices for us and for them to make an even bigger record profit, on the blood, sweat, and tears of exhausted trainmen.
To me this entire thing is just a part of the problem, the entire world has gone mad with GREED and making record profits with no regard to the employees who are working their lives away to make these profits. There is no reason that the employees of these companies should be so disregarded and looked upon with such utter contempt. The employees are just as essential to the profits of the company as the owners, stockholders and the customers. This strike to me is essential to remind the company and the world how essential the employees are to the success of the company. So I am praying and asking everyone I know, and anyone else who would join in praying that we are allowed to strike and draw attention to the greed of the BNSF railroad.
Sincerely,
Wesley Nellis
BNSF engineer and BLET member
There’s that word G.R.E.E.D. again.
Btw, how much do these men make? Yearly? Hourly? What are the benefits?
I know an engineer my older brothers age, was what they called a ‘sharpshooter’. He would work about 3/4 days a week and was crappin in tall cotton by the time he retired….
Around here, it was/is the highest paying industry except for maybe one, an aircraft engine maintenance factory.
The railroad van driver’s job for the taxi shuttles pays minimum wage, no benefits, on call 24/7 with 30 min. response time requirement, and the shift is normally 14-16 hrs. sitting in a van, but sometimes more.
Thank you ordo. I was wondering what the beef was. Also wondering how far we are from truckers and the trains refusing to deliver or pickup from the land pirate zones. They should all have the benefits of the rule of law that many American cities have excused themselves from. Methinks this delivery and supply chain issue is The nerve that doesn’t want to be touched.
“2004, Matt Rose”
I was working at the corporate headquarters in Fort Worth and I can only guess this was one of “them” that made the decision to outsource 138 “exempt” IT employees to IBM in 2003. My life as railroad employee with a “vision” of a better “retirement” than SS only lasted two years. 🙁 . Part of the global cabal or whatever I suppose. No hard feelings. I worked with IT employees that had worked either for BNSF or Santa Fe when the merger took place in ’93 I believe that had moved to Fort Worth from former headquarters , Santa Fe in Topeka , KS and not certain where BNSF’s headquarters had been , maybe St. Paul , MN. Anyway those folks were far more disappointed than I when “shipped out” to IBM. Just a bit of “history”.
Different story, part of my job as IT administrator on an operations desk was once a month to scan all servers on the network for pornography. Porn on the network was a “no, no”. I really had a good time working at the corporate headquarter facilities. We found that women that utilized servers serving St. Paul were the worst about porn pics in their profiles. Funny , the joke was the women out of St. Paul never shaved under their arms, they had hairy armpits. California came in second as far as porn on the networks. We had a couple , a man and a woman (lol) that worked our desk as contractors. It was difficult to get them motivated for much of what we monitored and troubleshooted but when it came time for the porn scans they were “Johnny on the spot”. It seemed they thoroughly enjoyed the porn pics that were discovered. In fact probably the most prolific porn pic discovered was by that couple and it was titled , “Fist up ass”, found in some woman’s profile on a St. Paul server.
Best job I ever had , not the porn scans, the job itself. It only fell fell far short of my anticipation, RR retirement, BNSF retirement. Actually BNSF, formerly Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroads.
boarder? Good grief……
Here’s some great pics

Pretty damn awesome.
They have already done trials with driverless trucks, even though there is going to be a human on board or at least that is what the article I read declared. The human must be there to take the blame for any accidents that occur while the truck drives itself, IDK.
Did you mean on border? lol
Somehow that driverless truck sounds pretty messed up.
Jawohl!
( And they say I can’t be taught!)
This looks like the same tweet that has appeared 2x already on the platform, but no.

In Canada, they’re mostly Indians of Sikh heritage. I’ve spoken to a few who are heading across the country and they’ve got no problem with sticking together, it’s how they took over the trucking industry here 40 years ago.

US truckers,get hauling ass towards the border as we have in North East chance for good storms this weekend.
Trucks look like going to be “taken over” unhitch trailers and cut break lines,gonna take a long time to move those trailers that are say a trailer every half mile back from border.
Folks,you support this great/good on you but be stocked on groceries/gas ect. NOW!
All those who support this must be willing to feel some annoyance and even pain.Your road to a destination blocked by trucker make plans in a hopefully freer future and head back home.
I would also ask all truckers who work for big outfits perhaps time this week for a bit of the “flu”/call in sick.
I would also say as this gets a bit rough help out locals in need who deserve your help.
Oh and……….FUCK JOE BIDEN!
On a side note,this all works out will still be keeping my rake at ready and refuse to consider “curling” a sport!

There have been some modest protests in Canada but this is the most visible one and even if the MSM tries to ignore it, the trucks are just too damn big to ignore.

Hey, Flash…
The moneychangers for sure. This afternoon, I will attempt to attend a hearing in District Court- [I’ve been pushing hard on a local fb community page under my wife’s acct] and two local businessmen have filed a suit over the county health administrators authority on a recent decision.
I have had two lengthy phone conversations with him beginning on 1-5-21-wherein I advised him of rt-pcr testing false positives, the Dr. Mullis who invented the method, financial incentives for hospitals/positive patients, etc., and the suppression of the therapeutics known to work.
I contacted him by phone again last week, wherein I expanded just a bit to include experimental jabs, and we discussed the recent health order …..
The suit is over him over riding cdc’s 5 day isolation…and stayed with his 10 day order. As I told him, I don’t pay any attention to mask orders, my issues are much larger…
Blah, blah, what I want to hit you up about? What was that website where covid relief funds could by tracked?
Just doing a quick search…

Thank you, Flash. This sllllooooowwww old computer of mine, I had tried to just do my own earlier, and then saw this current post of yours in the ‘recent comments’ column…
Thanks again!
There are some lawyers intervening along with a couple accountants. Gist of it is gofundme can go-F-off as they have zero rights to tell those having the money donated to them how to spend that monies.
We know how this all works and it gets challenged first by lawyers. Then people start doing the work arounds like delivering food directly to the truckers. A fuel company donates a load of fuel and fill a few tanks.
Go woke go broke… make gofundme pay for their woke.
Maybe take a brave canook to run over the little potatoe? Lol!👵😇
