Yesterday I got a phone call from one of the drivers who I used to work with that has switched to another company. He is still running and is on his way to SFO and then flying home. One of his last flights had three other people besides him and the crew so he feels relatively. He wife doesn't see it the same way so he will be sleeping on the couch when he gets home.

His biggest issue is food, places that only have drive thru's open don't want people walking up to the window ... for safety reasons.

Today in the AM we had our weekly phone meeting with our long haul company. Call ran an hour and a half and that has been every week. Plus they are having meetings with each division, with customers and with the government.

One interesting note was they had moved one of the rockets for a space shuttle ... and they needed 15 escorts on one leg of the trip. That still is about the only thing holding up drivers.

The company is expecting the virus to peak in mid-April and have thing back to a new normal by the end of the month. (I'm guessing they are optomistic)

Nevada has stopped issuing the basic trip permits we are now just free to run the state. I'm guessing you still need any over sized permits as before.

Sounds like some place in TX you are required to ware a mask 'anytime you are not in your house.' It hasn't been clarified if that includes your car/truck ... before this is over the drivers are going to have to carry a book to know all the local regulations.

Two left out of IA on the load board, both non-towable. It seemed the loads that were put out were moving pretty fast. There is another one coming out of SC back to MN when we aren't there.
