    In my family. My mom is the hero. My dad was a flawed man. He tried. Truly. But couldn't give up his girlfriends. In his plus column. He did teach me how to hunt and camp. Taught me manual transmission at the age of 12. Up in the woods. He never brought one of his girlfriends to the camp. Unlike some of the other guys.

    My mom kept the family together for us kids. Even at 54. She's here for us. So parents can be heroes. As well as flawed.

    If trailers loaded with food stuff you can run as long as you can on Covid HOS exempt.

    Then put ELOG in PC mode, write DRIVING UNDER EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT
    OF EMERGENCY DECLARATION No. 2020-002 UNDER 49 CFR § 390.25
    Why in PC mode? Only PC mode will show driving and not driving without marking everything in red. Also IFTA miles will be not lost.

    If DOT ask you what is in your trailer make your face as serious as you can and ask if officer has security clearance to hear the answer.

    He can't just use the exemption because it's reefer. It has to be an actual relief load. I doubt base to base would be.

    Edit: I apologize if I sound snarky. That is not my intention. Just don't want him to get put OOS.
