American truckers are reportedly planning a delivery boycott to New York City in response to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s recent ruling against former President Donald Trump and his sons, Don Jr. and Eric. The ruling imposed a $364 million judgment on the Trump family, causing outrage among truckers who view it as politically motivated and unjust, as reported by the Daily Caller on Saturday, February 17, 2024.
The trucking community’s decision to take action stems from a history of standing up against perceived government overreach and injustice. Previously making headlines for their role in exposing harsh COVID shutdowns in Ottawa, Canada, and blocking shipping between the US and Canada, American truckers are turning their attention to New York City in protest against what they see as a miscarriage of justice.
A video message from a trucker known as “Chicago Ray” expressed frustration over the ruling, declaring that truckers across America are prepared to stop delivering to New York City. He emphasized the widespread support for Trump within the trucking community and urged others to join the boycott.

The movement has gained momentum, with truckers sharing messages of solidarity and defiance on social media. Some even go as far as urging people to report their trucks as stolen if spotted delivering in NYC, signaling a refusal to comply with the delivery mandate.
The decision to boycott New York City reflects a broader sentiment within the trucking community, which feels marginalized and ignored by the government. Many truckers perceive the ruling against Trump as part of a larger pattern of political warfare and are determined to make their voices heard.
Former Congressman Adam Kinsinger, now advocating for the trucking community, announced the emergence of a movement within the industry. Truckers, he said, are tired of being overlooked and are taking a stand against a government prioritizing attacking Trump over addressing their concerns.
The boycott sends a clear message to policymakers and the public: truckers will not stand idly by while their livelihoods are threatened and their voices silenced. In the days ahead, the trucking community’s resolve will be tested as they navigate the logistical challenges of implementing the boycott, demonstrating determination and solidarity in demanding justice for themselves and for Donald Trump.
