The head of the Texas Trucking Association said he has not heard of any planned protests in Texas.
Everett Smith has been in the trucking industry for 35 years and says many in his network are against vaccine mandates.“The drivers, much like a lot of folks in this country, aren’t happy with the mandates or some of the things being requested or required of them,” President of the Texas Trucking Association John Esparza said.The association and others, sued the Biden administration over its employer-based COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Esparza said it’s causing some to leave the trucking industry during a time where they’re needed most. Smith said the supply chain issues are getting worse by the day, he’s constantly seeing empty shelves at grocery stores when he makes deliveries. “If you got there a day early ever before they would tell you to turn around — and now you go into some places and they’re like oh yeah come on in because they need it,” he said.“There’s a significant driver shortage going on across this country and to compound that with a mandate only gets drivers thinking and other folks in this industry thinking this is not the industry for them,” Esparza said. “We can’t have that.”Her passion for journalism began in elementary school.
