President Trump was interviewed by Fox News on May 8th, and responds to reporters’ questions regarding truckers being price gouged by saying, “they are price -gouged.”

Hundreds of truckers came to Washington DC last Friday, May 1st, to protest low freight transportation rates, brokers transparency, safety, and more.

As iTrucker iTrucker reported last Friday, President responded to protesting truckers last Sunday by tweeting, “I’m with the TRUCKERS all the way. Thanks for the meeting at the White House with my representatives from the Administration. It is all going to work out well! “and sending his representative to talk with truckers and giving them a bag of hats.
