Sure. Nobody in the BLM marches was protesting that they were being threatened with losing their jobs unless they complied with a particular political regime. The amount of deaths from vaccine injuries far exceeds the number of people shot by police that BLM was protesting, for example.
The BLM protests also tended to turn violent. If the trucker convoys turn to violence, I would withdraw support from them. (Honking one's horn isn't violent; burning down a building is. So far, there have been no burned down buildings, no deaths, and no injuries from the trucker convoy.) If the BLM marches could have stayed peaceful, I would have been much more comfortable with them. You may recall I was initially supportive of the BLM protests in 2020 - petitioning for the police to be less trigger happy is a good thing that I can support. Petitioning to "defund the police", supporting a particular political party, etc. are things I can't support.
Here is Brian Peckford, the last living member of wrote the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He is actually suing the Canadian Government over this.

I would think Anabaptists would be far from supporting and participating in this action taken by the truckers other than helping people to survive during this time and using this opportunity to point people to the Lord.
At this point there are Anabaptist companies represented in the convoy.
On February 1st 2022, we received a call from the Alberta R.C.M.P and other agencies requesting our assistance in providing towing services at the Alberta-United States Coutts Border crossing protest.
As many Canadians are aware this is a very uneasy situation for any business within the trucking and transportation industry. Our team has always held the standards of quality and professional service very high. That said, it is not in our best business or personal interest to assist with towing and impounding of Canadians and we have choose to refused to assist with this request and any other request of such nature surrounding the convoy and protesting unless it is requested by a driver or transport company for mechanical reasons.
We at Inter-Pacific Transportation (Group of companies) agree with peaceful protesting and stand with our lawful friends throughout the industry who are fighting for their Canadian Rights & Freedom throughout Alberta and the rest of Canada.
We continue to maintain professionalism when providing service to our current and new clients throughout Western Canada and request the same in return. This is a very stressful time for our industry and for Canadians but together we can push forward into a bright future.

I would be really interested in hearing from some of them and their thoughts.
