A coalition of trucker drivers is threatening to refuse deliveries in and out of New York City to protest the $354 million civil fraud penalty leveled against former President Donald Trump last week. According to one “Trucker for Trump,” who goes by the name “Chicago Ray” on X, drivers are already beginning to decline New York City delivery jobs to express their outrage with “mother*****g leftists” and the policies of President Joe Biden.
“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for about the past hour, and I’ve talked to about 10 drivers… they’re going to start refusing loads to New York City starting on Monday,” Chicago Ray said in a video posted hours after the ruling was made public. “I got about three drivers that I drive with… they already fought with the boss telling him they ain’t going to New York City.”
“I don’t know how far across the country this is or how many truckers are going to start denying loads going to New York City, but I’ll tell you what—you f**k around and find out,” he continued.
NEW: Truckers allegedly plan on stopping their shipments in New York City after Judge Engoron’s ruling against Trump.

Ray went on to denounce the ruling against Trump, accusing the New York officials responsible for it of “election interference.”
As Valuetainment previously reported, New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled on Friday that former President Trump was guilty of manipulating business records and lying about his net worth to secure bigger loans from New York banks. The verdict—which Engoron reached without a jury—slapped Trump with an enormous fine and also banned him from conducting business in New York State for a period of three years.
“We’re tired of you mother*****g leftists f*****g with Trump,” the trucker said. “Leave Trump alone with the bulls**t. You know you ain’t got s**t on Trump, so cut the bulls**t.”
According to Ray, “Our bosses don’t care if we deny the load, we’ll just go somewhere else!” He also added emphatically that “truckers are for Trump.”
“I mean, we’re like 95, 96 percent… all Trump,” he said. “Ain’t no motherf****rs for Biden.”

While the video quickly spread across various social media platforms (and even spawned a related “Boycott New York” hashtag), Ray ultimately deleted the video after “it went viral and my grandson seen it on TikTok.”

Before it was taken down, dozens of other truckers rallied to the movement, pledging to reject all New York City deliveries.
The video was also shared by former President Trump directly via his Truth Social account, where he thanked Ray and other “great patriots on the side of freedom” for their support.
