    Other then food and medical. There shouldn't be much to ship.

    There are non essential companies working though. That shouldn't be working.

    I'd hate to pick up a load and not be able to deliver it. And with travel getting stricter.

    Im curious if even essential loads like medicine and food starts getting hit, though. Either because of sever travel restrictions, or drivers just being too scared to want to be in public. Or if the processing plants start suffering severe manpower issues because people are leaving the job out of fear.

    Yeah but is it going to bleed into restocking supermarkets and places like home depot. If it does, were gonna have major problems.

    I delivered a load of corn syrup Thursday to a plant that makes store brand cool whip.

    I asked the receiver how things were running there. He said that they are starting to slow down a little, because the company that supplies the containers for the cool whip is slowing down due to lack of materials to make the tubs.

    So, the cool whip plant can bang the stuff out by the ton, but they're running out of containers to put it in.

    Not sure what to make of all that. But this is the first weekend I've been off since February, and I don't have a preplan. Most of our customers are closed this weekend, though.
