    More using pc to get to a truckstop?

    I have been unwilling to sit in Chicago lately. Too many wouldn't even have to wear a disguise anymore.

    Definitely. I just ran through there twice in the past week and it was packed. A lot of truck traffic going to Atlanta..folks are hoarding groceries. The food warehouse I went to was busy..guard was complaining how busy been..and it was...about the busiest I have ever seen it there.

    Thank you. Just rebuilt my house. Didn’t anticipate loss of work. But keeping busy around the house.
    Very fortunate to have at home parking brotha. Thank you. The money tree is dying though. Might have to find another job for the time being but will never sell the truck

    I'm at the Pilot in Daleville IN.
    Never once have I been the only customer in the store. Not the only customer at the counter, the only customer in the store.
    Never once have I ever seen ALL of the fuel islands open. Not just open with folks parked forward to go inside, NO TRUCKS at all in or near the fuel island.

    Jus sayin

    Ok. I gonna throw this out there. I was just talking to a friend, a trucker, and he thinks that there will be a lot of big sales coming as soon as people are allow out again. That many of these so called "responsible" companies are chomping at the bit trying to figure out ways to get people to waste, I mean spend, their stimulus money of big screen tvs and the like. Instead of things like rent or food. Now, like a said this guy is a truck driver and sometime I think he spent too much time at the lunch counter. But who knows.

    Kemosabe, you don't need to worry about the rich getting richer, you need to worry more about the people in the street who have nothing.
    I'm telling you guys, it can only last so long.
    And if they said everything would be fine by the end of April, you'd still have a crapload of people not being paid for 6 weeks.
    Guys, this will not end well.

    There is a dump truck company down the street from me.

    There is probably at least 20 to 25 trucks Down there. You normally see them running day-and-night.

    Now for the 1st time ever I see every one of those trucks sitting.

    There is a guy near me that I see his dump truck working but He is hooked up with a utility contractor.
