A Burkburnett man taking part in a national truck convoy protest found himself without a ride Friday.
Jeff Sandberg has been vocal in his support of the convoy on social media and was driving a rig bearing a banner covered in slogans.
"We're just trying to show what the people who back us believe—and our own beliefs—of what our country needs to go back to," Sandberg said Wednesday.
By Thursday night, Sandberg was sidelined because the company he rented his truck from, Penske, shut down his truck remotely.
"Penske does not support the people's convoy movement," Sandberg said on a Facebook stream. "So, I'm in a situation where I'm not going to be able to continue on."
The primary objective of both the Canadian and U.S. protests appears to be resistance to the COVID-19 National Emergency imposed by former president Donald Trump and an end to all mandates, including vaccinations and masks.
