    No one's going anywhere.

    Don't make us taze you, then lock you in your truck.

    We can do this the easy way or the hard way, you're choice driver.

    If the border is CLOSED and YOU are in Canada, you visit your US Embassy directly in person and state your problem to the Officer on Duty. They will deal with you in their way in time. You will be there a while. Your company also would need to know. And you would next need to find a decent parking spot such as Customs in Winsdor for example.

    Citizenship means nothing if a Nation decides to close borders. Closed is closed. Side track I understand Europe is grappling with Refugees again pouring across. They are going to have to start shooting some to stop the flow if they haven't started to do so already.

    If I got stuck in Canada due to border closing that would be time to claim some detention.

    Ironically lately, I've been running a lot of rust belt cities far from where these cases have been popping up. So I may actually be safer at a Petro in West Virginia than I would be in a hospital in Boston.

    I'm just wondering what the odds are of shutting down the highway network. Is it actually possible I could get stuck in some distant city with no money for 3 weeks?

    Have to keep the groceries moving. People have to eat. Coronavirus will have to take a back seat to starvation. If anything they need to start paying me a premium or hazardous pay for running reefer.

    The odds are very good. No food. No water.

    You may encounter nomadic packs of drivers, that are semi hostile. They'll introduce themselves by saying,"We are Neg........er Schneider."

    No. You will donate your time, and equipment to help our great nation overcome this potential national disaster, and we will thank you.
