Site mission
Our mission is to document and shame every business that is identified as being involved in the 2022 Truckers Convoy occupation of Ottawa. This includes truckers, supporting businesses, hotels, and restaurants. By naming and tagging we hope to ensure that any future internet searches reveals the true nature of these businesses.
Note: I will only be posting clear photos where I can verify the business name and relative location. Close-ups, blurry shots, or shots outside of Ottawa are not posted.
Asking the internet to do anything is like trying to herd cats, but please dont assume that because a company was represented at the protest that they condoned the actions of their drivers. Many truckers are owner/operators, working under contract for a parent company. Companies, you should be more careful about who associates with your business name.
It also needs to be made clear we are not accepting any financial support. No direct donations, no fundraisers. If you see any associated with the site, they are not condoned by us. If you feel the need to donate please consider donating to one of the many Ottawa charities that have been impacted by the protests and subsequent occupation.

I hope websites like this proliferate to dox American truckers who will try to recreate the mayhem in Canada.

(10,153 posts)They have their names, numbers and websites plastered all over their trucks. They must want us all to know where and for who they work. Otherwise they could hide that info with some tape.
I posted this same comment down stream but I wanted to put it up here so people realize nobody is digging up info from the web at this site. They are just recording images of trucks from the protest. Most of the trucks have the info advertised all over their trucks.
The purpose of putting that info on their trucks is to advertise. So, they are getting a lot of advertisement.

(10,045 posts)the government money they held their hands out for and received. Disgusting!
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)From what I've read around the Internets (First Draft has a post up now), this demonstration reeks of astroturf. That is, it's a bought-and-paid-for demonstration by someone with as much an aggrieved sense of entitlement as money. Some of the demonstrators are upset about what they say they're upset about, but I suspect the greater portion of them are paid crisis actors.
That being said, whatever this nonsense is, it's going to come out sooner or later. A group like Convoy Traitors and like-minded others will unravel this scheme. I'm confident of that. The question is, "Who's gonna squeal"? Who's going to blab to the authorities (and Canada isn't nearly as indulgent of these lunatics as certain parts of the United States) and expose who's behind all this?

(21,593 posts)I hope many of truckers and business lose their contracts and customers
This has gone way beyond a peaceful protest. It is likely these truckers aren't union members, too. They are a very loud minority.

(8,806 posts)the company isn't backing this charlie foxtrot, their truck driver just drove their truck to the location......The police could ask the company if he wants to file grand theft charges against his employee........
I would think that there probably aren't any driver owner owned rigs in there......They wouldn't risk the damage to their own vehicle, and can't take the time off from the work...... they need to make their truck payments......
Bev54
(10,045 posts)probably don't realize the long term solution may destroy their investment and they still will have to make the payments on their truck.

(9,068 posts)What kind of blows my mind is how anyone reads those couple of paragraphs and dioesn't see it for the proto-authoritarianism it is. It is absolutely alarming that rational people are now stewing online, thinking of ways to get at anyone even slightly connected to an expression of speech they don't like.
It does not seem mentally sound to me, if I'm being totally honest.
But that's where polarization has brought us. If we don't like them, do everything in your power to control them. Speech and protest should be precious things.
They're getting jettisoned too easily for my taste.

Farmer-Rick
(10,153 posts)The site is simply documenting.
The truck companies must be proud of their participation otherwise they would have made an effort to hide the company involved.
It seems strange to me that they provide such easily available identification of where and for who they work.
But stupid is as stupid does.

Your neighbors has freedom of speech. Can he block you from leaving your house?
Hassin Bin Sober
(26,324 posts)Restricting everyone elses movements and getting on with their daily lives is not. Especially when it goes on for days or weeks.
Protesting your government is a human right.
Using a licensed vehicle that has special licensing due to the large nature of the vehicle and the damage it can do is not.
Driving those big rigs on public roads is a privilege not a right. Revoke their privileges.
Sympthsical
(9,068 posts)And no one said it shouldn't.
But the, "We will go after them and anyone associated with them" impulse is an authoritarian one.
As it is, they're being called terrorists and insurrectionists and "the military must be brought in."
Imagine the response to Republicans saying all these things to our protests. Don't think the f-bomb wouldn't be dropping on the regular - and I don't mean the curse word.
Interesting times. I'm more interested in observing the litany of double standards. I don't think there really are standards anymore. It's all devolving into polarized tribalism. My side good, and how dare anyone say otherwise. Other side unremitting evil always and forever, and they must be crushed.
Yeah. The right-wing thinks that about us, too. I know what room I'm in and read it mindfully. I have no illusion that anything other that mutually reinforcing pushes into states of increasing dissonance are all that's left.
But again. Really interesting to observe.

(67,782 posts)....of truckers who are violating the law.
Those truckers are driving around in trucks that are "doxxing" themselves.
If someone cuts you off at an intersection and you get the license plate and report it to the police, is that "doxxing"?
They're not digging into the personal backgrounds of any of the drivers.
Farmer-Rick
(10,153 posts)They make no effort to hide the info.
The reason people and companies put their names, numbers and website addresses on their trucks is to advertise that info.
Soooooo, they are getting advertisment. Lots and lots of advertisement.
If they didn't want all of us to know where and for whom they work, or to know their business address and phone numbers, maybe they shouldn't have used those trucks. Or at least hide the info with tape and plastic.
Geez. These deadly anti-vaxxers aren't so smart.

usually in giant letters. In addition, I dont know about Canada, but here in California nearly every commercial van and truck has a sign on the back that says: How am I driving? Call 1-800-XXX-XXXX
Id love to be the one who calls their boss and says, Well, actually its not so much how your man is driving, its how hes parked outside the battered womens shelter honking continuously and yelling.

(3,696 posts)Information can cause pressure for change.
The knowledge that some bullying people are associated with company ABZ may move moral minions to propose they will not do business with some people associated with company ABZ.
As the site makes clear, the truck companies pictured may feel differently than the truck drivers parked.
Some bosses may take exception to some employees.

(2,204 posts)Please keep in mind just because a truck has a company's logo on the side, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's owned by that company, nor that the driver works for them. Calling shit out when you see it is all well and good, but stuff like this can easily damage the wrong targets if people don't know the nuances of what they're looking at.
