There are close to 4,000,000 CDL's in the United States. A thousand saying they wouldn't do something isn't exactly a big concern.
If they don't want the money someone else will.
I don't think Truck Drivers who work for a corporation (vs being independent) can NOT go where they are assigned.

The big companies will last about a week longer than the independents. After the first couple of trucks or loads are lost and insurance companies will not pay because of where the truck or load was at the time, they will have no choice but to stop service to that area.
Same with DHL, FedEx, UPS. They will not be able to pick up and deliver to those addresses.
Anyone selling on eBay or Amazon will have to move out or stop selling.
Armored car delivery services would sprout up but would be very expensive. Do you want your pizza delivered in a armored car with four armed people keeping it safe until it gets to your door?
they have huge trucker unions that would fight for employees safety if faced with enough pressure.
Would it be likely that these companies would provide security or allow the drivers to be armed?

So in your opinion do you see a strong likely hood of what was mentioned in the original article becoming a possibility?
Money motivates, I'm 100% sure.
Career criminals are, or will soon be, relocating to urban areas where there are no traditional police officers.

of course I have, which is why I don't trust many polls.
