This is not an area you need to "act fearless" and if you think you'd look like a fool for saying no... Imagine what kind of fool you look like for WILLINGLY driving into a hot spot, putting your life and Lisence at EXTREMLEY HIGH levels of danger!! Now what would you go and do that for? Do you need that ONE pay check so bad my friend? If you do, I suggest taking a look at what other problems you may be facing.

Not worth to risk my life for a load

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

My family loves me

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

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

Because I have already shot enough people in my life... I'd rather not have to make a habit of it...

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

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

Why not? 🤷🤘

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

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

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

No way in hell

Why help or fed commie Dem scum??

It’s my route! But I can choose if I do not feel safe at the time I can refuse but the company has to retry next day!

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

Exactly what Bryon Donahoe said.

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.

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

This crap has gone to far

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.

Nope. It would be time to get a new profession. See I am all about self preservation not self harm. You see if police departments get defended and pay gets cut, it will not be long before officers start looking for better pay and better benefits and the department is left to the way side.

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.

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

As American Truck Drivers I feel we have the power to Stop all this that's going on! Park your Truck untill the RIOTS STOP HAPPENING! And the Dumbocrats pull their heads outta their orifice!

No

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

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

Umm, because I don't want to get shot and because of where I go into Canada, I can't carry in my truck
