    I’m wondering if any of the companies you guys work for with 100 plus employees have released a statement on the mandate yet. If they will fight it, if they agree with it, how they will handle weekly checks, etc.

    They are doing surveys on whose vaccinated with a message board for the drivers to cry on. Appears most aren't vaxxed.

    Good for you. Just some advice on your 2nd shot. Try planning a day or two off because it could kick your butt. I got my second shot and went back on the road that night and suffered for a couple days.

    Really? What types of side effects did you experience? The first one didn't mess with me at all....I had planned to go next Wednesday, maybe I should go on the Friday, at the very least I could get a 34 since I can't go home for a bit

    My company sent out message saying they are aware of the mandate and are waiting for OSHA to put out guidance. Plus paid time to get the vaccine or recover after getting the shot. They say they will do what ever the law says or OSHA
     
    bryan21384 and nredfor88 Thank this.

    Did they mention testing? I suspect that’s in the OSHA guidance, but wondering anyway.

    I had a very mild fever and almost instantly a mild sore throat. Unbelievably sore shoulder for a week and couldn’t sleep on my right side. Generally just fatigued with mild cold symptoms..wishing I was home on the couch watching old westerns :)

    First shot I only had a very sore shoulder for a few days

    The side affects are all normal and a good sign your body is responding..nothing to worry about.

    I ended up getting the Phizer (what Walgreens was giving) and glad now to see it was FDA approved.
