If a big rig locks it's airbrakes, it's not going anywhere.

There are ways to remove vehicles that don't involve towing them. Cutting torches and dump trucks come to mind, in a pinch. Of course, you can't really use them afterwards, but that's why you generally shouldn't build barricades out of objects that your livelihood depends on.

And just like in Canada, the wreckers know that those trucks are their business.

You're grossly overestimating how much of the industry has sided with these idiots. Most companies have actively distanced themselves from it, including firing any of their employees that are involved. Removing trucks that are involved in literal terrorist attacks generally isn't going to hurt their ability to be hired by anyone except whichever operator owns the truck in question, who should really be in jail for being a terrorist and therefore isn't exactly commercially significant.

Even on the off chance they do end up ever working again, a trucker would have to be exceptionally stupid to refuse a tow that they need just because they're butthurt that the company in question towed their truck before. That would cost them an enormous amount of potential work time, and probably whatever contract they had because of how much company time they're wasting.
