A trucker known as "Chicago Ray" made headlines after initially calling for a boycott of New York City in protest of the court ruling in former President Donald Trump's fraud trial. However, just days after posting a video urging fellow truckers to refuse loads to NYC, Ray took a U-turn on Monday. In a new video posted on social media, Ray clarified that he is not encouraging any boycott and stated, "See you down the road," indicating his intention to continue making deliveries. Despite once claiming that truckers were planning to deny shipments to NYC, Ray emphasized that truckers can make their own decisions based on personal factors.

Ray's change in stance followed Trump's praise for truckers who planned to turn down shipments to NYC in the wake of the $355 million fraud decision against him. Trump referred to the truckers as "great patriots" and expressed his gratitude for their support. Ray, a conservative social media influencer, initially stirred controversy with his call for a boycott, claiming that truckers were in solidarity with the former President.

Ultimately, amidst mixed reactions from social media users and the trucking community, Ray revised his position and made it clear that he will not be leading any movement to boycott NYC. His decision to resume deliveries signifies a departure from his earlier stance, where he suggested widespread support for Trump among truckers. Ray's journey from advocating for a boycott to recommitting to his job highlights the complex dynamics at play in the intersection of politics, activism, and trucking industry.
