Wisconsin, has in my experience always closed its small wayside rest stops. That are not manned. But only for the off season. They have been re-opened every year around the middle of May.
Minnesota, has thus far had their larger sites open for business. And they have been cleaning them regularly.
I haven't stopped in any of the Iowa rest stops.
The fuel stops that I have used have been open for use. Kwik Trips in Clear lake Iowa, and Webster City, Iowa. As well as the Holiday in Rush City, MN. -

Turns out all 25 of my stops today are essential and will remain open. Guess that means business as usual.
Bob Dobalina, MACK E-6, misterG and 1 other person Thank this. -

I got a rant. Ok, it's more of a complaint rolled into a rant. But maybe someone can enlighten me on this.
So last week we had a terminal wide briefing. The gist of it was that if we missed more than three days of work during a single workweek they would cut our health benefits/insurance. But they also came out asking that anyone with flu related symptoms be tested and self isolate. It's the right and most ethical thing to do. And I do agree with that part.
Here is my question... And I am not trying to come off as a selfish jerk. But let's say I get this thing that is going around and I am part of the 70% that has mild symptoms and can "ruff it through". What exactly is my motivation supposed to be potentially forced quarantined for ,two weeks without pay and lose my health benefits? Cause let's say my wife ends getting sick and needing hospitalization. Now not only are both of us sick, but now we don't have insurance.
Maybe someone can give me some insight. But right now I've been sitting here scratching my head.misterG and Bob Dobalina Thank this. -

We asked if we would be covered under FMLA since we had more than 50 drivers and were told that under the current law, our company could also dip into the first ten days of our vacation and PTO if they wanted to.
