This could be interesting. Hope my truck is dispatched far away from that. I really don't feel like being associated with that; not that I disagree, mind you. I just can't afford participating in a protest that could get me arrested.

Goody Goody! Who can we get organized to shut'em down next?
Christians?
Home schoolers?
hunters & fishermen?
gun owners?
coal miners? (NOW there's AN IDEA - THERE'S PLENTY OF COAL TRUCKS WITH NOTHING TO HAUL RIGHT NOW - BUT WE'D HAVE TO TAKE UP A COLLECTION TO BUY THEM SOME GAS.
There must be dozens of other groups...............

I don't know if anything gets out of this, but it reminds me the years before '89. A strike here, one there, all reprimanded, until people rise everywhere willing to die. Some 2K died indeed, but it was overwhelming.

Did truckers get special arrest powers recently?
I just don't see them winning hearts and minds by bringing NoVA traffic to a impassible crawl. Besides, you don't need a bunch of big rigs to do that on the beltway.

I am pretty sure the liberal media found a nut job and did what they needed to get the sensational headline.
That said, while in VA, I think they can arrest people.

Interesting. Assuming its true, wonder whether they will close the road to ALL traffic, or just those who are attempting to engage in political speech/petition their government for redress of grievances? Y'all see what I'm getting at here?

I drove on the beltway last night. It was aggrivating.
I found myself cheerfully thinking about the severe inconvenience that those bum-nuggets were about to face, and I laughed.

I'm almost tempted to drive that 400 miles up there to see it. But the kind of traffic screw-ups they NORMALLY have is why I avoid the place to begin with. Reckon that's what Fox News is for.

If either story is true the road is gonna be closed either way, by truckers or the NG.

The National Guard story is bogus, but I'm sure the DOT & VSP will be on hand for checks at the scales and other spots along the way.
Better update those log books

I avoid it on a normal day...Much less when something like this is going on. It's like going to a NASCAR Race...You see much more on TV and the toilet is much closer !

Log books, ORS? Pffft. I got Elogs. Damn things update themselves. Can't really fudge those things. Paper logs at least gave you about 7.5 minutes to play with if you ran out of drive time. Not Elogs. But, then, no one really asks to see the Elogs.

Friday afternoon traffic around I-495 / I-95 is going to be no fun at all today, folks. Good day to call in sick.

They have started and VHP has already stopped them to give a warning not to impede traffic.
