What are the protesting drivers demanding? The answer according to Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh, is “Do Away” with COVID-19 vaccine mandates and “start listening to stuff that help truckers instead of hurt truckers and overregulate truckers.”
“It’s pretty simple, do away with the mandates is what we’ve told them [political leaders],” Pugh said. “Start listening to stuff that help truckers instead of hurt truckers and overregulate truckers.” He went on to say that they aren’t against vaccines but feel it’s like pro-choice, your body/your choice.
