It's not like most of those stops would create an issue that got media attention. Elk City OK? There are 12,000 people there. They don't have congestion to add to.

Originally there was a stop/rally/grift scheduled at a truck stop in Oak Grove, MO but it's one of many that have been canceled.
No one is in the mood rn to listen to their garbage.

(65,228 posts)Like the town I mentioned earlier.
How much money were they going to raise spending a day in a city with under 12,000 people? There's less than 22,000 people in the whole county!
Great organizational skills on display! Not!

(29,676 posts)It's a smaller town but the truck stop is just outside of Kansas City and it's on I 70.
More than likely they chose stops on the interstate they felt would be more amiable to their bs.

(15,019 posts)even more laughable. Adelanto is near Victorville, out in the sticks, the hinterlands of the Inland Empire.
That's only a 200 mile, 3 hour drive. If they had really started in LA, the distance would have been increased by a third and the time by an ungodly amount just to get through and out of the LA basin. They skipped the hard part of the journey and still failed massively.

(2,367 posts)counter convoy. A few cars getting in front of these trucks and driving very slowly. Somewhere like Oklahoma. Just drive about 5 miles and hour. Maybe stop until it appears someone is approaching the car then start moving again. Keep Billy-Bob on the road for a month.
