    Are you going to be able to run every load in the country if everyone quits?

    Unfortunately no. And I am looking to add trucks and drivers, but the few I can run will pay really, really well.

    If everyone quits he won’t have fuel......but the fuel guys always get an exemption when the shtf because, y’know how fuel isn’t dangerous at all. And the livestock guys get exempt because cows are more important than truck drivers. And FEMA loads are exempt because nobody gets tired after a hurricane. I’ve always wondered what makes these drivers safer than anyone else

    That’s what they say at my local grocery store....too many rules!!!
    The goobermunt made them install coolers and refrigerators and even freezers, plus get rid of all the mold and mice.
    No more fun for them. :(
    The goobermunt made my local gas station put in accurate gas pumps, no more fun for them :(
