How Is Covid 19 Affecting Your Job?

Eggs still hatching. Still tossing birds. Gobble gobble!

 

There's been some interesting things brought up that most of us would have never figured to be a part of this pandemic.

Like farmers. And oil.

I'm waiting for new car manufacturing to come in to the picture. Since some have switched to medical equipment now.

 

They are saying up north here to stock up on pork products while you can, could be a supply chain interruption, can you have enough bacon?
And I've been seeing some great deals on new vehicles if you're in the market. Looking to update mama's 2006.

 

We seem to be running 4 days and sitting 3. Getting maybe 3k or less a week 1/2 of what we should be doing..we were told last night..”we are dividing up what we have so everyone gets a load” to many drivers not enough freight !!!

 

I thought I was going to have a month long vacation, but apparently people still need their copy machines and office furniture.

At least 3 furniture manufacturers were closed for 2 weeks, but my customers here in Phoenix had orders in production before the closure. So I'm still making my weekly trips trying to get these orders picked up, they say they should be back up to full production Monday.

Some of my other pick ups are still on limited hours, which makes it somewhat more difficult, but with a bunch of phone calls and texts we are able to still navigate.

With no traffic in the LA area, I am able to pick up in Fontana at 11:30am, drive to Irvine and deliver, then up to Commerce for anther pick and then down to Gardena for my last delivery before 4:30pm.

I'm usually pretty lucky with all the accidents being on the other side of the freeways!

 

It really shouldn't be news.

The govt ordered tanks for ww2. I don't think cars were produced for about 18 months. I'd have to watch the story again. If I can find it.

History channel had a 3 part series on the history of automobiles. It was mostly centered around ford.

The cars that made america. It's 3 episodes. 2 hours each. The ww2 thing was the second show.

 

The White House declared the defense production act. There's a few companies trying to get medical supplies and equipment out to the country. But because the White House diddled and daddled. Hospitals won't be seeing much till summertime.
