Truck drivers who are protesting COVID-related restrictions and mandates have begun to make their way across the country towards Washington, D.C. in a vein similar to Canadian truck drivers protesting in Ottawa.
With supporters of the convoy seeing them off, truck drivers gathered in Adelanto, California, and headed to their first stop in Kingman, Arizona. This convoy, one of several planned, is scheduled to be in the D.C. area by March 5th.
Over 1,000 Trucks, RVs, and Cars are now en route to the first stop, in Kingman, AZ from Adelanto, CA.
