Truckies formed a blockade southbound on the M1 this morning as part of strike action today. 

The protest, stationed along a major freight route, called on the government not to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for the industry.

Press PLAY below to hear the latest from Nine News reporter Jess Millward 

While the trucks have now been moved, delays are expected to continue as banked traffic clears.
