As we’ve reported before, a convoy of semi-trucks are en route to St. Paul to bring a
protest about high fuel costs to the Republican National Convention. Just after midnight
this morning, the truckers, led by brothers J.B. and Frederick Schaffner of The American
Driver, got their parade permit approved. On September 2, several hundred truck-and-
trailer rigs will make a clockwise loop through St. Paul, crossing the Smith Street High
Bridge and heading west across Grand, north on Dale and east on University to the
Capitol area. The ride starts at 10 at an Inver Grove Heights truck stop. At 4 pm, they’ll
join the March for Our Lives, a protest organized by the Poor People’s Economic
Human Rights Campaign.
