    Looks like it's pretty much the same everywhere, except maybe for certain Landstar drivers :)

    Congratulations for your determination to get it, if nothing else.
    The way I understand this PPP loan is that you will effectively not lay off yourself. You will, with accordance of the loan purpose stay active...searching load boards...book a load every now...keep your payroll running. All you have to do in return is to keep yourself on payroll (that is collect money & pay taxes). The loan will be up 100% forgivable and even if some of it is not, you will repay it after 6 months at 1% in 2 years.

    The thing that some folks are having a hard time understanding is that the PPP & EIDL are 2 separate programs.

    The whole $10,000 advance thing on the EIDL was really bungled by the SBA & the way it was presented in the beginning. They've since clarified and cleared up the confusion.

    Me neither. Daughter is 13 so I get $2900. I'm all ready to quit trucking, blow it all on lottery tickets and cheap beer and wait on the government to do more good things for me.

    So Scooter is that the PPP ACH or the EIDL ACH? I applied for the 10k out of curiosity but haven’t done anything on the PPP.

    I’m definitely starting to get some extra calls from drivers. We never stopped advertising as I need to fill 2 seats. Well, it was no change until yesterday. Had a few calls between yesterday and today. Same story... “no work”.

    At least you get money, I don’t get ####. At least my wife and I don’t. Will I still get $500 for my son? He’s just going to want to buy tractors with it if so. lol

    I’ll throw it in his junior saver at the bank. Poor kid ain’t even 4 and on the gov tit. :(
