Gas demand in areas recently reopening

Since some states have recently reopened or partially reopened GA and TX has gas demand picked up?. I was wondering about
this as that’s what I want to do rather than otr. Not planning on doing it now I talked with a couple guys who said with the steep drop in demand they are not hiring. Besides not hiring those that are working are only doing 3 to 4 days and working 8 hours a day rather than the normal 10-12. As much as I would rather do local gas tanker I’m not going to do it if I won’t make the kind of money I’m looking to make. I’m going to see how things go with ending restrictions before I sign on with anybody.

 

Well CA is still under lockdown but some states have recently reopened. I don’t live in CA I’m in the Northeast. Even though it’s gonna take awhile to recover I do believe if lockdowns are lifted gas demand will pickup. I’m going to see between the fall and holidays if the lockdown ends. But GA which reopened I read had a huge influx of visitors, so I was curious if demand for gas increased. I’ve Ben doing otr 2 years and I’ve had enough of it.

 

True others are struggling and this is the car capital. When you say people are out and about depends where you are. The northeast I don’t see very many out and about. But Atlanta yes, St. Louis yes just to name 2 places I’ve seen lots of traffic although not like before lockdown. I don’t want to do otr anymore I want to do gas tanker.

 

Do you recommend I wait till next spring to start hauling gas?. I have been at swift 2 years, long enough and my second year has gone down the tubes.

 

We seem to be getting off topic. The whole point of this thread is to see if there is an increase in gas demand in areas recently reopened or partially reopened.
