    Ran TN to PA to AL to NC to TN. 4 day turn, 4 grand. I didn't add up my CPM but it's about average for lately where I run. $2 per mile average all miles. I saw no evidence anywhere I was of anything to do with the 'epedimic'. No lines, no panic, no drama. I don't listen to the news anymore. I'm much happier.

    The highlight of the week was my fuel fill up was $100 less than usual. How the hail is the world panicking and the stock market crashing but diesel is cheap? Seems backwards.

    It was only when I came home that family and neighbors are bombarding me with all of the pics of cleaned out store shelves, etc.

    Not worried. Taking a week off and headed to the beach. Ready for a TP load when I get back.

    Wife went shopping last night at an independent grocer. She said it was a little busier than normal, but nothing earth shattering. Shelves were stocked with full.

    Bah Humbug.

    I drove through Seattle Wednesday morning at 8:AM and there were no traffic slow downs for rush hour at all. Came through Portland at 5:pM later that day after picking up a load and no slow downs until I got south of the city. I wish it was like that all of the time.

    I wonder if beer and wine loads are considered "essential" products for the current emergency? I'd like to be exempt from some of the HOS rules.

    The rule exemption is pretty ambiguous, who determines what are "goods necessary for the relief of the public"?

    Jet fuel demand has nose dived, and some of the countries on the other side of the world are having a price war race to the bottom. I’m not complainin.
