For my own safety and the security of my customers loads, I have informed my dispatcher that I will refuse all loads to cities that have defunded their police departments.

It is time to start taking matters into your on hands the police can’t be your babysitter and as for the idiots out there if they know every one is packing heat they would be less likely to fuck with you. No one wants to feel a bullet in there ass

Yes because places such as Minneapolis say they aren’t going to disband until they have a plan in place to replace it. Look at Camden NJ, they did it in 2012 and they have less than half the crime they did before.

Wow look at all the no’s What is happened to the trucking industry take a fucking load go deliver it and make a paycheck

Stupidity to even have a conversation about this

Defunding police doesn’t equate to no police, I have literally no issue with delivering freight as usual everywhere and anywhere....

I do not want to be the next Reginald Denny. That simple.

Simple.we may not like it all the time, but law and order is NECESSARY!

Even though there are very few Cops who are out looking for wreckless drivers that screw with truck drivers (cutting them off then brake checking, etc, etc, etc) they are still much needed. We need judges that actually do something with offenders even more.

Of course. Would feel much safer with the citizenry looking out than the scumbag cops.

Life on the road is hard enough without having to worry about somebody trying to get into your truck

It already gets pretty sketchy and some areas that I go to I can only imagine how much worse it will be with no police it's a hard no from me

I want my personal safety to be as strong as possible. If the towns are at risk that is, as my driving instructor would say a “hazard”. One that to me is unacceptable.

Been to Minneapolis Mn twice so far .... I'll be back up there Monday

I have sidearms

If defunding emphasizes less weaponry for the police, what happens when they show up with knives to a gunfight? Remember the saying, something about only criminals will have guns...How will any police force fill its ranks if those people know they cannot protect themselves from the criminal element they are tasked with apprehending? It opens the door to continued National Guard presence, maybe even martial law. Bad idea overall, imho.

I just turned down a load from miami to st paul paying 3800 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ my life matter more than any other

Im my own police

No

No I won't. There are plenty of others that will do it so let them. Just dont start whining on social media when you get attacked.

My family loves me

Unless my company starts allowing me co carry my gun in truck I won't do it

No way in hell

They should not defund the police They should retrain the police behavior toward none white people

The city doesn't protect the citizens they won't protect me... not going to be another Reginald Denny

Yes because it just means the sheriff's department or state police take over.

Nope!!! I will not blame the all the unit just for 1 bad apple. Same happen with the trucking industry.

I’m a team driver my other two drivers are smith and Wesson 😀

Whoever chose the phrase defund wasn't very smart because that's not what it actually means. Reorganization or restructuring is what it should say because that's what it is. It's NOT getting rid of the police entirely

I can run almost anywhere. But I don't like the West Coast or the Northeast.
