I'm sure the truckers appreciated being informed that their trucks were all "in tow".

I'm getting a little confused. We have one convoy out of PA that has reduced to one truck. We have another convoy out of CA claiming to the be original cancelled for lack of support, and another seen passing through TX claiming 2000 trucks.
So, which is it?

Their point will be moot soon enough in most states. Who wants to start a pool they will try to claim credit?

I don’t know how working truck drivers can afford this.

Having to wear a mask for a few minutes in a store or having to get a vaccination with a tiny needle are exactly like the Russians bombing your apartment complex, so it's an excellent week to protest tyranny. I'm surprised Fox News hasn't made that connection. Or maybe they have, I don't watch Fox News.

Ah. Missed this earlier. So, not confusing at all. Well, I guess we'll have to see how organized the big one is, and if they are successful reaching the beltway.

"Needle prick" vs "bucket with lid" is apparently a tough choice.

"People's Convoy" organizers are not happy about Illinois state police threatening them with traffic law enforcement if they cause any disruptions.
Huh.

If it was me

At all the main interstate entries into the state, Illinois still has weight stations that they can open up.
If you have a legitimate load, thank you and have a nice day.
It you're empty, pull over there for a full safety inspection.

Truck convoy protesting vaccine mandates pulls plug before reaching Kansas, Missouri
Source: Kansas City Star
A truck convoy scheduled to roll through Kansas and Missouri on Sunday and Monday on its way to the nation’s capital to protest vaccine mandates pulled the plug early Saturday. In a post on their Facebook page at 1:53 a.m., organizers of “Freedom Convoy USA 2022” said there weren’t enough participants to continue. “The launch in California had a good turn out of supporters, but only 5 trucks were with us on arrival in Vegas,” the post said. “There are 2 other convoys that have massive turnouts, and are in progress to the DC area as we speak. They are The People’s Convoy (which was the first convoy to launch out of Cali) which is in New Mexico now and the Texas Convoy which departs soon.”
The post said truckers who planned to meet their convoy along the way should start heading to D.C. or join the other convoys, which were about to merge into one. They said the $6,500 that had been raised for the trip “will be dispersed to these truckers when if they arrive to Maryland and DC.”
Fixed it!

Those trucks pulling a load are probably not part of the convoy.
And, drivers are hopping onto the caravan and then leaving the caravan.
Finally, those who arrive in DC don't understand that American police and National Guard aren't nearly as patient as Canadian police. EVERY American law enforcement officer is armed with a lethal weapon, not just batons.
Good luck protesters! You'll need it.

I took a quick peek and didn't find anything from OHP to verify this, smells like BS.
This says 100 vehicles.
People's Convoy hits ANOTHER speed bump after four trucks crash in Oklahoma: Anti-vaccine protesters in 100-vehicle, eight-mile long convoy raise more than $1.5 million as they continue to make their way to DC

Yeppers. 2 fighter jets saluted the convoy.

I'm thinking that the fighter jets were training how to attack a convoy.
