    Complete the load and go home, I guess.

    Landstar is coughing up $1,000 a week for up to 2 weeks if any BCO gets sick. Though I'm not sure this is out of LS's coffers, or assistance with a govt. backed stimulus for small business owners.

    People sure are acting funny out here though . . .

    I'd join you bro - side by side we'd storm across I-40 at full steam,

    The rest of the industry cheering us on as we cough and puke blood on the windshield.

    Me hauling sail boat fuel, you, a full load of dispatcher brains.

    Finally! the vengeance we'd sought after all these years of CHP's inhumane treatment of us!

    Sadly though, CARB would send heat seeking missiles to destroy my DIRTY STINKING 12.7 S60 1995 motor.

    A martyr forevermore - my name will go down in history.

    13,000 cases today. In two days it’ll be 26,000, in four days it’ll be 52,000, in six days it’ll be 105,000, in eight days it’ll be 210,000, in 10 days it’ll be near a half million, in 12 days it will be 1 million, in 14 days it’ll be 2 million, and 16 days it’ll be 4 million and it will continue on up until an estimated 160 million Americans have caught this virus. With the death rate ranging between two and almost up to 9% like they have an Italy I’m not even going to tell you how many dead people that will be.

    I wonder how many of us truckers are going to be gung ho about driving all around up in to the northeast for $.45 a mile or so when the number reaches 16 million then 32 million then 64 million and you can’t even get a quarter pounder at McDonald’s

    The next 30 days of your life might be the most interesting 30 days and not for a good reason.

    I'm virus profiteering.

    Load of sugar. 5,000 pounds. 158 miles. $800

    Two of my trucks are doing multiple loads of cough drops.

    God I hope Congress catches it.

    I'm on my way to Baltimore with a corn header and crate that's going to Australia. The wife is across the bay in Easton and has lined up work with a few residents there who are in need of a capable male to do home improvement jobs. It looks like the next couple weeks or so I'll be painting, plumbing, hanging drywall and doing mechanical work on 4-wheelers.....

    Please, for the love of God and country, stop watching the panic inducing mass media. Italy is the country with the highest death percentage and we are already doing far more than they did at this point

    The numbers are going to go up as more people start getting tested. It doesn't mean it's spreading faster.

    Don't want the numbers to go up? Don't test.
