    I'm just angry my company wasted me. I had 3 loads in the past 10 days, short miles but long wait times.

    Just imagine how much bottled water, toilet paper and sanitizer I could have moved in that period? Drop & hook? Sheesh.

    basically he's saying that if you have symptoms you should get checked to avoid spreading it. Especially as a driver. As you'll be spreading it across the country. It would be a considerate thing to do.

    Copy that. If I have it, what happens to the load of produce Im hauling? What driver is going to get into my hot-zone Kenworth?
    Just because you dont feel well doesnt mean panic.
    If I were exposed in Seattle 3 weeks ago, but no symptoms until last week, I would have been infectious well before that time.
    Im just surprised it has not expoded in the driver population.

    You contact your dispatch. They'd most likely have you drop the trailer and bobtail. Letting someone else hook up to it. Yes you might have infected people when you didn't have symptoms, true. But once you did. It's be best to be safe vs do more harm. But hind sight is 20/20 or is it 2020 lol

    I have no expert knowledge. When I get sick it's normally over with quickly. Normally a little over 24 hours and it's gone. Back in February I got so sick I thought I was dying. Ended up sleeping for almost two days. Can't prove that's what it was but rarely does anything knock me on my ###
