Several truckers who support Trump are declining to transport goods to and from New York City following the ex-president’s $355 million fine and suspension of his business operations in the state as a result of a civil fraud ruling on Friday. A pro-Trump trucker named “Chicago Ray” uploaded a video on X after the verdict, stating that he and other drivers are refusing to take on delivery jobs in NYC in response to Judge Arthur Engoron’s decision in Manhattan.
“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the last… hour and 15 minutes… I’ve talked to at least ten drivers… they’re going to start refusing loads to New York City starting on Monday,” Ray said.
“I got about three drivers that I drive with… they already fought with the boss telling him they ain’t going to New York City,” he continued.
Ray proceeded to condemn Engoron’s decision, which not only imposed a substantial fine but also prohibited Trump from assuming any executive or managerial role within a New York-based company for a duration of three years.
“I’ll tell you what, you fuck around and find out! We’re tired of you motherfucking leftists fucking with Trump,” the trucker said. “Leave Trump alone with the bullshit… you know you ain’t got shit on Trump, so cut the bullshit.”
According to Ray, “Our bosses don’t care if we deny the load, we’ll just go somewhere else!”
He added, “Truckers are for Trump. I mean, we’re like 95, 96 percent… all Trump. Ain’t no motherfuckers for Biden.”
Other truckers were quick to jump in:
We got your back @Chicago1Ray . No NYC https://t.co/a0jFBfJkr0

Good morning. It's Sunday February 18th and I'm still not going to New York. I looked through some of the comments from yesterday and there's one thing that's for sure. You can call me every name in the book and I'm still not going to deliver to New York. I do find it funny…

TRUCKERS WILL GET REVENGE ON NYC FOR TRUMP
"New York, New York, New York, now the truckers aren't trying to deliver your produce, your goods, for three years.
Y'all think groceries are high now. Y'all better respect that MAGA crowd.
They're not playing around. Keep f****… pic.twitter.com/tbSBTjyBB2
