Over the road or staying at home?

And that is a funny thing about this whole virus thing.

There have been things in the past years that have been worse, but this is the first time for such a lockdown.
What is it leading up to, I wonder?

Much of it seems like a great social experiment, in so many ways.

 

Work as normal which is grilling in my backyard most afternoons and sleeping in my own bed.

 

I'm OTR working... Having no issues getting something to eat, taking a shower daily, or truck parking.

I've been to a couple different plants that have taken my temperature before entry but those are few and far between...


Still haven't been able to find hand sanitizer or Clorox wipes and been to many many stores looking for them.

 

Im not surprised. You are down the road from where I am.

And yes there will be some form of digital or personal certificate of either immunity or vaccination combined with or without those who actually recovered from Covid19 in our future.

 

I'm on the road 5 days a week. And will continue to do so until this horse #### is over or there's no more freight of any kind.

None of the drivers at my Co seem to be worried 1 iota about any of this and a lot of them are in their 50's, 60s & 70s. Some are smokers, one guy I know has some kind of machine where he does breathing treatments in his truck.

We're going to see a big shift I think and it's not gonna be for the better. The .gov knows people are sheep now and will take full advantage.

 

I’m OTR. Home now for my regularly scheduled home time. Instead of staying home four or five days, I’ll probably hang out about two weeks. I’m 59, Type II diabetic, and therefore a bit more vulnerable. But I’m also fortunate to have a wife who has a decent job, along with a small additional income that basically covers our mortgage.

 

Same here. But it's the hubby at high risk due to poor health. So I am out on the road until the curve flattens. He's home with the dogs, cats and chickens. He's doing great in quarentine. Keep strong, driver. This too shall pass.
