What is the rubber duck convoy?

The Rubber Duck Convoy was a fictional truck convoy that was depicted in the 1978 cult film "Convoy." The convoy of trucks was led by a character named Rubber Duck, who was played by actor Kris Kristofferson. The movie was based on a hit song of the same name by C.W. McCall, which in turn was based on the real-life trucker protests of the early 1970s.

The Rubber Duck Convoy was a group of truckers who banded together in protest against corrupt law enforcement and government officials. They traveled across the country in a show of strength, with their trucks adorned with rubber ducks as a symbol of their unity. The convoy was ultimately successful in its mission, as the corrupt officials were brought to justice, and the truckers' rights were protected.

While the Rubber Duck Convoy was a fictional creation, it struck a chord with audiences and became a cultural phenomenon. The film and the song inspired many real-life trucker protests and brought attention to the issues facing the trucking industry at the time. Today, the Rubber Duck remains a symbol of trucker unity and a reminder of the power of collective action.
