After three weeks of holding up traffic on the D.C. Beltway, the so-called "truckers' convoy" is moving on from Washington D.C., for now.

One person who will clearly not miss them is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who oversees the trucking industry and is currently in the middle of an effort to recruit more drivers to the field.

He says the rhetoric from right-wing protest group, which originally formed to protest coronavirus mandates, is not representative of truckers overall.

Asked about incidents like when a speaker said that Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington would be "tarred and feathered," Buttigieg said “I don't want a handful of people to be viewed as if they somehow speak for an industry because the good name of the transportation trucking workforce is worth a whole lot more than a few extreme voices,” Buttigieg said during a Yahoo Finance Live interview on Monday.
