Crowds have been gathering on bridges in support of the convoy expected to pass through central Ohio early Thursday afternoon.
Truckers protesting Canada's vaccine mandate have blocked the Ambassador Bridge, an important trade route between the U.S. and Canada., passed over the Indiana-Ohio border around 12:45 Thursday and could arrive on the Far West Side between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.
The 57-year-old who lives in Oklahoma said he's driving"pig-tail" , noting that most of the rigs have no payload and are a small percentage of the millions of commercial vehicles in the U.S. "We're out in the middle of nowhere and 40 to 50 people appear along a gravel road," Turner said."You'd think we were war heroes coming back from battle."
Speeds have ranged between 25 and 45 mph, Turner said, noting a"slinky" effect when a trucker slows, forcing the convoy to respond.
