Not a question, just wanted to say...

Thank you. Many people do not realize everything arrives on a truck, and a trucker has to drive that truck.

 

Ty for the thought.

My worry is do we have truckers who will deliver into the hot areas that need them most. These are not normal times.

 

I appreciate the good thoughts. However they are so rare in trucking.

We usually get abused, kicked like a mangy cur and wrapped in our own chain then hauled up on our own petards for anything. Particularly for daring to employ own thinking and decision making to solve a problem.

In the end, Truckers love America and they are America. And I would like to sleep at night and remember that they run through the night so we have a good life tomorrow. And so we are very rich in many ways besides money.

 

You’re welcome.
I’m grateful for all the people that make it possible for me to do my job. Cashiers, Mechanics, people who clean the restrooms and showers, etc etc.

 

Thank you. It means alot . Had a couple of my family send me texts saying thank u for what i do . Even know im not hauling those type of supplies it is still great to have acknowledgment in this otherwise thankless job.

 

I want to also say "Thank you!" to all you truck drivers, especially those who are working extra hours and going without many comforts to keep the supply chain running during this difficult time, and not forgetting those good people who perform the many related and support tasks.

I truly believe that more of the public, than the evidence suggests, are grateful for your services and profession except that they don't really think about it because their own work is so different. They don't think about trucks and drivers or their importance to the nation's daily function. Their thankfulness may be subconscious, but it's there and I have heard several times in the supermarket from other customers, "I hope the truck comes today" (no idea really that more than one truck comes each day..) and from a cashier or manager, "Thankfully the truck got here 2 hours ago or we wouldn't have that".

I'm very happy that my medicine is in stock at the drugstore and that good food is on the shelves in the supermarket.

Well, thank you in any case for keeping things moving, both the usual daily products and the medical-oriented supplies.

I hope the news and government will make more positive comments about y'all (if they can keep from boasting, posing, and complaining long enough to say something nice).

 

Takes several hundred trucks a night to keep NYC running. We all usually mob the GWB by 9PM so to cross and hop off the first exit and work into NYC. Hunts point in particular.

Used to bring up 49000 pounds of country crock butter every night from Shedds of SW Baltimore. That is usually a load onto the trailer and a load off by hand. Because so much of it gets divided up and shipped across transfer to so many customers around NYC.

 

I'm not one to say I told you so...but I told you so! Not everyone hates truckers. Sometimes it takes a epidemic to get people to notice the others around them.



I know my sandbar thanks you also.
