One of our guys went in and talked to the TM this morning to try and get some answers, but all he got was the usual "we're essential and we can do plenty of work for other essential businesses" and "we're taking it day-by-day."Texas_hwy_287, Cardfan89 and Mike2633 Thank this. -
i'd say i could not make about 10%-20% of my deliveries today----because there was no-one to accept them.
i might be headed for a repo---just my luck too. (NOTE: i have NEVER had a car repo'd)
i'm not sure what i'll do. But what i AM sure is that i'm not going to crawl back to mom and dad to bail me out.....Mike2633 Thanks this. -
So anyways, a bookstore and a non-profit office type place (2 pallets of folders), and a corpo-type office place(one pallet of pens) were closed.
A sheet metal place (which says they are staying open no matter what), a college theatre, a non-profit gardening/rehab outfit, another college bus service, 3 hospitals, a paint store and of course residentials all open.
i did mention that we lost our show freight (conventions) account because THEY are shutdown. This amounts to 1-2hrs per week on average for me.
i always like to be conservative rather than too optimistic when it comes to money, so i would like to consider myself HOSED at the moment. -
They were really looking like they were going to start moving people through the program, too. One guy supposed to be in semi ASAP, then a few dock guys for the straights then me in a semi. Hopefully I’m still employed at the end of it all.Bob Dobalina and road_runner Thank this. -
Last night when we asked about this at our pre-shift meeting they told us almost all of our customers are considered essential or are finding creative ways to declare themselves essential. I was thinking narrowly about food and medical supplies before but there is also a lot of freight that supports critical infrastructure like wire, municipal water and gas related freight, pumps, etc.
We might slow down, but a lot of the drivers on our line haul board are already discussing how we can share the burden instead of screwing the bottom guys only.road_runner, Texas_hwy_287 and Rusty Trombone Thank this. -
Cardfan89, BigDog Trucker and McUzi Thank this.
