Washington DC – Truckers Protest Oct 11-13

Caravan of truck drivers plan a protest around Washington from Oct 11 – 13. A “few thousand” tractor-trailer drivers are expected to converge on the Capital Beltway on Friday afternoon. Drivers plan to occupy three lanes of Interstate 495, driving 55 mph, with the fourth lane kept clear for emergency vehicles and supporters. Only motorists displaying the group’s Twitter hashtag on their vehicles will be allowed to pass, Andrews and other organizers say, adding that the protest would be peaceful and lawful.
