Tractor-trailer drivers will intentionally clog the inner loop of the
Washington, D.C., beltway beginning on the morning of Oct. 11,
according to a coordinator of the upcoming "Truckers Ride for the
Constitution" rally.
Organizers of the three-day ride want to call attention to a litany
of trucker frustrations and express their disapproval of national
political leaders.

Earl Conlon, a Georgia trucker who is handling logistics for the
protest, told U.S. News tractor-trailer drivers will circle the beltway
"three lanes deep" as he rides with other participants to Congress to
seek the arrest of congressmen for allegedly disregarding the
Constitution.
The truckers circling I-495 will keep the left lane open for
emergency vehicles, Conlon said, but "everybody that doesn't have a
supporter sticker on their window, good luck: Nobody in, nobody out."
The trucks will be going the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit.
D.C. commuters who wish to be allowed past the convoy must have
"T2SDA" – an acronym for the event's original name, "Truckers to Shut
Down America" – written on their vehicle, he said.
Note to the DC police and DHS try not to shoot anyone as the spark you create may be the flame that will burn this sucker to the ground. Cool heads prevail until they don't.
