And then what?

With the defund movement going on I can see this happening. The majority of food items are delivered by truck in all localities of America. Large refrigerated trains bring the produce from the growing regions to the large cities where it goes to warehouses then by truck to stores. In the black sections of these cities many stores were looted and some will not come back. With the BLM disrupting traffic why should truckers go to these areas when it is not safe. Some have already been assaulted by BLM thugs.
Many truckers are members of the Teamsters Union who will back their members to the hilt on refusing to work. Without food what good is EBT cards? No food what is a rioter/looter to do?

I think some of the large truck lines have restrictions on their drivers going into dangerous/lawless areas already. Other drivers will need to band together and say "no".

Most people know that truckers generally pack heat so small groups may leave them alone and some of the rioters may realize that the truckers are bringing them their free (EBT) s**t.

Speaking of EBT, this is a prime example of what socialism brings.

I come from a family of Teamsters, Dad was Local 299 of Detroit, brother Bob was a trucker for many years and my nephew has a fleet of trucks[15 I believe]. I got my drivers license then went to Chauffer. When the switch came over there was no grandfathering and at the time I didn't need to switch so I didn't. Truckers normally carry a throwaway that is not traceable to them...just in case.
The democratically controlled inner cities will suffer greatly this fall/winter especially if America get a severe winter EBT card or not. It will not be easy going to the grocery store in the suburbs on the bus. Hungry people are a dangerous people that is a given. One saving grace is that a cold snowy winter will inhibit the looter's ability to maneuver.

not sure how much perishable stuff is transported by rail any longer,
I do know that Tropicana runs a lot of juice from Florida to NY via rail,


most of what we received when I was in the grocery biz (to the warehouses) were by truck,

My understanding is much due to the cost factor. Air is quicker but more expensive.

not so much cost , more like time,

rail is cheaper for lots of stuff, but to get those strawberries from CA to Maine, trucks run faster
