Vaccine Mandate Threatens Major Trucking Disruption, Industry Insiders Say

Most of the trucking industry consists of companies with fewer than 100 employees, though a significant portion would fall under the over-100-employee umbrella.

At a time when many Americans hunkered down at home, they were still on the road. Trucking life during the pandemic was a series of frustrating restrictions, trucker Victor Morales said at a Georgia One9 truck stop.

At the Pilot Truck Stop at I-69 and Wadhams Road in Michigan, all 10 truckers interviewed by The Epoch Times said they took the vaccine but oppose a vaccine mandate.

Truck industry experts say truckers with the option to quit will do so if forced to take the vaccine.

The American trucking industry has long faced a driver shortage.

The trucking industry has a high turnover rate.

Backing Up. The vaccine mandate will only directly affect companies with over 100 people, but small truck companies won't have the resources to absorb many additional drivers, Falkenstern said.
