    Some loads are only 4 pallets near the nose maybe 1 layer high. Wrapped. The 9-11 load cubed the trailer out. The silence from the associated bosses was significant. The sooner we got rid of that one the better for all.

    Normally I'd agree with you, but the pictures and stories coming out of New York are horrific, I think that's about the worst place in the world for anyone, but they are Americans and they're our brothers and sisters and there are a lot of people hurting bad there.
    Also, the government is encroaching on my liberties and the sooner this thing is over, the sooner they wont be able to use that excuse of saving us from the virus. I want my casinos and steak dinners back.

    We are still fallowing the HOS and could run more if trucks were really needed for virus stuff if their was a demand. I'm hauling food for grocery stores. So not medical stuff or masks, but we are allowed to run over the HOS. The trucking company is saying no. I'll be delivering load today. Then sitting for 34 hour reset. My trucking company is saying they are working on just keeping us loaded and rolling now. I would like have only 40 hour week. It sounds nice now anyway, but I would probably lose my guaranteed minimum weekly pay. If things really slow down I might lose the guaranteed minimum pay.

    Our stores are starting to gain on your food trucks. But we need them, all. As fast as they can get to the North Little Rock distribution and 65th street etc. Sure the truck will be here tomorrow or someday, but that does not do well for a people worried that our Governor may cave and close the state down leaving some without the food they require for 2 weeks minimum.

    The panic has calmed down, but it becomes relentless. Yesterday one person swore he will stand next to the shelf for toilet paper. He was not told that the next delivery will be the following tuesday. One truck a week.
