National trucking organizations strongly OPPOSE anti-mandate convoys in the US, just as in Canada.
If this US convoy happens, it will represent no one but the individual truckers who want to show off (we have no vaccine mandates for truckers in the US) and whoever is financially backing them.
And for the US to allow convoys that obstruct the public roads gives big rig truckers an enormous amount of power -- far more than most citizens. Simply because they drive outsized vehicles shouldn't give them an outsized voice.
From an article in early February:

There is no national vaccination mandate for truckers working within the U.S. but both Canada and the U.S. require proof of vaccination for truckers crossing the border.
The American Trucking Associations, a Washington-area group representing trucking companies, says it opposes potentially disruptive actions by truckers.
The trade group, which has taken part in legal challenges to a federal vaccine mandate “strongly opposes any protest activities that disrupt public safety and compromise the economic and national security of the United States,” ATA President Chris Spear said in a statement.
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, a Grain Valley, Mo.-based group representing small trucking companies and independent truckers, has a similar position on national vaccine mandates and driver protests.
