The risk is there! Hey driver, maybe no one wants to look like a good buddy wearing a mask all around. It's mainly just in the workplace. Seeing police wearing masks. Also seeing gas station attendants wearing masks. Even employees inside my trucking company offices wearing masks. I'm much rather everybody be working and wearing masks than stuck at home and everybody on lockdown with businesses closed. Maybe personal protection is the way to end all this lockdown BS.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78784132 Are you people actually reading the entire post? Have truck drivers wear masks and gloves, boom! Huge difference made just by doing that. Wear masks and gloves when, exactly? When they're driving? When they're unhooking their trailers? Filling out their log books? Eating their meals? Sleeping? When they're taking a shit in those porta potties that 50 other truckers just took a dump in? And where do those guys wash their hands after taking a dump in an overloaded porta potty anyway? When outside in public places. Like inside truck stop, at shipping office etc. |

None of you think truck drivers have had any responsibility in spreading this and that perhaps masks and gloves could have been and would he helpful? Come on. |

Sit as far apart as possible, eat outside if possible, keep talking while eating to a minimum. There is no perfect answer, just use common sense and do your best. Also, open some windows to get a cross breeze, fresh air is your friend. Last Edited by -Carbon Bound+ on 04/12/2020 08:51 AM Time is fleeting. |

I have been from coast to coast over last few weeks and it's like this everywhere. Tables have been blocked off and chairs removed. If you don't believe me go to a truck stop and see for yourself. |

The risk is there! Who the FUCK do you think is responsible for all the shit you buy being on store shelves? Truckers are one of the most essential pieces of modern humanity. Every single fucking thing you buy arrives by truck, either a semi or a smaller parcel truck. Are you even on this site? Do you ever even look at anything that doesn't just confirm your own beliefs? You are a person who seems to literally believe every word from the media. Here's an easy way to prove that you need to question the media: In 1997 the media, along with hardcore religious groups, stated that all sorts of nasty business was going on at Marilyn Manson concerts. The most famous of these statements was that Manson would throw a sack full of puppies out into the crowd at the start of every show and wouldn't start the concert until all the puppies were ripped to pieces and the pieces thrown back on stage. Obviously a lie, but maybe you automatically believe it because DEY SAYD IT ON DER NEWZ. Well right now you can go on Youtube and search Marilyn Manson live and add any year going back to probably 1992 and you will find TONS of concert videos. Not one goddamn thing that they said was happening was happening, just a regular concert. Every single show that band has ever done was bootlegged. So they were lying. |

The risk is there! I’ve heard from other drivers who are actively driving during this that a great many procedures have changed for them, limiting much if not all personal contact. Including availability at many truck stops. My impression has been some municipalities are doing good, some aren’t, but it isn’t normal conditions anywhere for drivers. ThereRMeds4That |

The risk is there! The ONLY somewhat legitimate main news source just published that only 150 Americans with NO pre-existing conditions have died from Corona virus and that is VERIFIED. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18479641 150. All the rest were already badly sick. And even out of those the corona claim is horse shit because hospitals were caught reporting car wrecks and cancer as corona deaths. The virus is a hoax people. It is a hoax and you’ve all been had again. Time to open everything back up now. Pre existing condition does not mean that they were badly sick. Per CDC guidelines, high blood pressure, which almost 50% of the population has, is a pre existing condition. |
