I think so, but I am curious why you ask this question.

Because when I watched the  video of part of his speech at the rally, I didn't really think he was necessarily calling for violence, as many have suggested. I did however think he used poor judgment in using the "sons of bitches" when speaking publicly at a political family friendly rally. I would wholeheartedly agree that you would likely hear much stronger language used by the average truck driver in the yard or the shop. I think however that most of them tone that down when in other settings like PTA meetings, restaurants,etc. I feel like Hoffa paints all of us truck drivers as uncouth and rough.
