    Sure, wait until the virus kills 1/3 of the viable adults capable of doing work or buying things that work revolves around in 6 months.

    I just need a good saw to make myself useful in a post collapse society. //sarcasm.

    Kind of like the weather in Arkansas, Don't like it? Wait 15 minutes.

    We have approximately 57000 unemployed that managed to file successfully in last 15 days, and our Gov is keeping us open statewide to prevent at least another 200,000 to 300,000 from becoming unemployed.

    Edit:

    My head is spinning still. I have watched this unfold from about mid Dec. It brought China to her knees by 1 Jan.

    Using 24/7 burn figures on Wuhan Crematories of which 7 exist backed by NASA satellite tracking of associated gases emitted specifically for burning remains combined with recent urn deliveries being completed there they estimate 47000 dead just in Wuhan alone.

    The survivors are lined up hoping to have ashes to bury, but they do not understand that 30 gallon stainless trash cans went out already full of ash daily months ago. They are hurting in ways we will never understand.

    Hopefully in our situation we will get through this by summer and not lose too many. 7500 KIA as of today is way too many.

    With the Social Distancing, schools have closed across the country.
    So, are the Truck driving school doing online training? Get your license by using an online driving simulator? If you get to the end of "Grand Theft Auto", do you qualify?
    With the schools closing, the "Truck Driver Shortage" is just going to get HORRENDOUS!

    You lost me at the word "local" you want a secure trucking job go get you a OTR reefer job if you want to stay busy . Most the local and line haul guys around me are taking a hit. The number one thing that's got them by the balls? They are all scared to hit the road , yet im staying busy running the roads.

    I've been in this industry since '95 and there wasn't a driver shortage like the ATA was screaming about then and there isn't now. There is only a shortage of companies willing to pay a decent wage,
