    we’re going to have a lot of trucks stuck under loads if warehouse workers stop coming to work, then the real shortage of supplies and food will begin

    Just now watching the news, the report said as the number of cases skyrockets, the death rate is half what it was. Now 1.2%.

    Oh, not just in NY -- in any democratic party-run state.

    I’m going to guess those liquor stores are like the ones in Cali where they’re more than just a liquor store. They’re also a small convenience store.

    Pot stores probably get a pass because some people need weed for medicinal purposes.

    So I haven’t been watching the news, but I suspect we are being kept in the dark by our government. Are we in some kind of airborne illness war?

    They did the same for my daughter in Michigan, a letter stating She is a health care Worker. The letter is for proof of necessary driving to and from work. A Police Officer friend of hers, told her that they're considering possible statewide quarantine. Waiting........UHG

    New York State is officially hanging out the 'Closed for Business' sign Sunday night.

    I'm at home in PA now. Gonna call in on Monday morning and see if its worthwhile to fire the engine next week.

    PA will undoubtably go the same route as NY. Steel may be shutting down, or at least cutting back to essential loads only. Which will mean a massive over capacity issue in steel haul.

    Maybe I should consider dropping the deck and running power only for a dry van outfit?
