A difficult time for truck drivers. As they work to keep you stocked up on needed supplies like that hand sanitizer and toilet paper, they’re facing a shortage of their own, finding a place to eat while on the road. Their trucks are too big to fit through drive thrus and walk up orders are being shut down at a lot of places.
Lots of trucks out here, dont see a shortage. Many drivers doing ok. Truck stops have food so far. Burger King, chicken places inside plaza, etc. Truck stops operating except restaurants are closed, no sit down.
Alot of bullshit being spewed on media.(Chester’s chicken, popeyes etc, all open inside truck stops.) No sit down at tables is all.
Many drivers afraid to work. I’m doing about 600 miles a day. Busier than a bug on a hot rock.
600 miles a day, Mark? Wow! Last time I drove 600 miles in a day I was in my late 20s! In my late 60s now and not sure I could go half that far in a car-SUV-pickup-suburban, let alone an 18-wheeler! Blessings to you!
Do it every day, 550 at least…you get used to it, not that bad..
Stay safe, Brother. Keep on truckin’. <3

Goddamn EOS, rent some reefers, you’ll find work fast. Just put new shoes on brother, you’ve already got the tractors, call some brokers..
Your in a unique position man!
Keepin’ you in my prayers, EOTS.
God, it’s really startin’ to hit home. I’m also hearing from friends and family whose businesses are being devastated. And yet, they still believe “officialdom.” So we’ve the double-whammy of dealin’ with the tyranny and with those who comply.
It’s weird when I walk by all the closed restaurants, pubs. What a cultural attack that is. Stay home and no more gatherings of more than two people. They know these are our grand meeting places where important conversations are had, and with eye-contact showing conviction and intent. They know ideas are born of such conversations, plans are put in place, support builds strength.
In terms of who will rebel and who comply, I just wonder if we are yet at the tipping point, I mean where most are unwilling to accept the tyranny. I see our numbers growing everyday, and I also see the sick compliance on display. I’m believin’ in our numbers, power in numbers, army of one times 7 billion.
Out of Article 1:
Congress shall make no law… prohibiting … the right of the people peaceably to assemble.
No mention of any exception to this.

Just assigned a frozen load to North Carolina from Chicago, everything normal here. Not surprising.
