Truckers Left Out of Covid Legislation

I have never thought truck drivers are more important than anyone else. We all do it for money, just like bankers, plumbers, and electricians. Trucking is somewhat unique because some of us love it through thick and thin. Interesting times to say the least. Gonna hand the next sixteen year old girl working the drive thru at McDonald's a twenty dollar tip for sticking it out while the rest of the Nancy's stay home.

 

We are needed now, perhaps not so much in the coming months. I don’t think it’s quite sunk in yet to the average American what were in store for economically in this country. At 20% unemployment the system will implode. That’s not doom and gloom thinking that’s just facts Ask any financial expert out there or any expert on the economy, once unemployment nears or hovers around 20% the entire system breaks down. We will absolutely hit at least 15% from this. And we’re not going to be immune to it once the hoarding and such settles down. People are going to be broke and they’re not gonna be spending money which means less goods being hauled about the country.

so yes enjoy running our butts off for the next month or two and then will be in the same boat as everyone else. Facing a loss of our jobs. The only advantage we have over other industries, is when things do pick back up and they will, the demand for trucking will be back once again.

 

Whole lot of freaking people would love to be
Getting our Paycheck's right now instead of
Sitting at home.

What's the use of going home right now,
Can't do anything,everything is closed.
Now is the time to get every penny you can.
Who knows when this craziness is gonna end.

 

i get both. federal leave and company leave

 

then my long term kicks in till im 70 years old.

 

we are hiring 500 plus this year. i never had a thing for driving for them. i was a total outlaw trucker. but one day i said to my self. let me start beating with the house instead of against them. its been the best thing for me.

 

My insurer already knows that if I have covid19 care its free to me. They have publicly waived it to the US Government. (I am on a medicare insurer, a major one.)

I do not spread what has been publicly stated by them falsely. In addition the 4000 dollar testing and so forth is not to be a thought if I happen to be under that kind of care for whatever reason this insurer has publicly stated that the costs will be waived against me. I will not be billed for it. The insurer has done very well per medical costs leaving very little for me to worry about as my share.

So your claims of disinformation on my part is moot. There was a time in the early infections where people have been billed 4000 for the test kit plus almost 3000 for the CT scan which is definitive to show the glass scarring in the lungs and so on months ago. All of that has been finished from my view so if I did go I am not worried about costs. If I needed to be put into a 20,000 dollar a night ICU that is covered in my plan as well. No worries. Arkansas has also made room for that part of the costs as well.
