That is markedly not the case among the truckers I am personally familiar with. The hold AM radio has given the right over them is holding strong even in the face of a pretty ugly reality.

If freight collapses soon as some predict, that may make a dent, but until it hits them personally and hard, I'm pretty skeptical. And even then i'd be surprised if we saw wholesale change in support among that demographic, rather than just some denting here and there.
