    stay at home. That’s not bad money. Wait til this Cov- 19 passes. Then you’ll have a lot of choices. Wait it out. Yard work, Remodle house. Build muscle car, or whatever. WAIT

    Two things to consider:
    - Once this all calms down, you and everybody else will be looking for a job (at the same time).
    - And, if your governor opens up the State economy, puff! No more unemployment checks for ya. Ask Georgia folks how that works...

    That is really funny a refer company that is not going to push you to run at night...... Refrigerated loads generally need to be delivered in a timely fashion, wrong place for day runners. Call Legend they will probably pay something around 50 cpm, maybe a little less depending on experience. lots of drop n hook. I worked there, just got into a debate on something that did not matter in the long run. Still worked out happy at Pepsi.

    Haven't noticed a decrease in safety. Been out west, Midwest and east coast recently and everything is safe.
    Haven't heard anything either.

    Where have you been getting alerts about safety?
     
    Clara3 Thanks this.

    From the test results most people that get this virus are symptom free.
    So why would things get much worse in the future?
