The risk is there! ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6210445 They have made up the numbers, period. The nurses are getting laid off during a PlanDemic, explain that. The mask shortage is on purpose like the TP shortage. There are hundreds of videos from doctors and nurses admitting they are being threatened into going along with this. Anyone who dies is being called a CV death. On and on. Turn off the lying media and realize this is a takeover and if we don't fight it we are fucking done. Are people getting sick with Covid-19 and has it been spreading? Yes or no? I understand there's lots of craziness, hype and overreacting many aspects but this virus does exist. In fact the trucking company I work with reported a number of their drivers testing positive for Covid-19, it was sent out as a fleet message to all their drivers. So is the company I work in on the fake news too? lol come on people. Also received a message just recently they ordered thousands masks for their drivers and will be made available for drivers at the different company operation centers. Not making this people, it was a fleet message sent to all the trucks. Are you going to suggest that we do this every flu season now? Wear a mask or take the shot, your choice. No. |

The risk is there! Quoting: Flying Poptart Obviously you are not a truck driver. You will be exposed to other people and go into buildings of workers inside. Let's use FedEx for example, I've covered loads for them before. When you arrive you interact with a security guard at a gate. They look over your bills, check your seal and tell you where the entrance to the building is for the office. Then you park, take your bills and go inside the FedEx plant and head towards the linehaul office. Then you interact with people in there, they sign bills, maybe ask you to sign things and they tell you where to go with truck/trailer. Yada yada yada and then one the way out again guard wants to see in back of trailer to see if load or empty before opening the get to let you out. That is one example but it's usually the case you will interact with security guard and then go inside the customers warehouse into their office or etc for them to handle your bills and tell you what to do. It's not always the case but most of the time that's what goes down. Time is fleeting. |

Quoting: Butch DeFeo It would help if nobody fucks the truck drivers, or gives them a big kiss on the lips. Those posters aggressively pushing the anti-mask agenda fall into 3 catagories. 1) CCP operatives trying to weaken the USA in any way possible. 2) Deep state operatives attempting to bring maximum chaos. 3) Idiots of one sort or another. Wear a mask, prevent infection, keep the Country functioning!!! Yeah, at this point, IF the virus is real and not something else going on, everyone should be wearing a mask when they're around other people. (both / all parties). Anything other than that is not using logic, but is instead using emotions. :DOCSRBAFFLED::redblueLED::DONTBEAPANDEMICS: Only you can stop the fake pandemic for yourself, no one will ever tell you the pandemic is over.

The risk is there! Where do you purpose we drivers buy these masks and gloves? Should we stop at a random town and get an Uber? Spread it around some tiny Town or major city? If you can even find masks and gloves for that matter. Almost every shipper and consignee are requiring drivers to sign liability documents / statements. In these we state we have not been around anyone with the virus. Putting us in the situation that we could be sued. Oh! Let's not forget if we do get infected! We can't go home! We are legally stuck in whatever town or city we are in. Can't stay in the truck as 90% of them don't have bathrooms. Can't drive home as you would be considered an act of domestic terrorism. So whatever s**thole town is now your home for two weeks. So the options are hotel, hospital, or fema camp. Many of us are choosing not to go home. Risking it because if we have it we don't want our family sick. That means drivers like me have been stuck out here since new years day. Try living in your office for four months OP.

The risk is there! Truck drivers go from state to state, coast to coast, into your town and out of your town. Quoting: Flying Poptart Millions of them happening the time across our country and others. We are currently in a global Pandemic! Seemingly most everybody is on lockdown in their homes, most all businesses shutdown, most all the economy shut down. Unimaginable things going on such as curfews, quarantines, social distance orders and etc all the help combat the spread of this highly contagious virus. What about truck drivers? On a daily basis they are run the risk to become infected and be spreading this virus all across the country. For example, at this moment somewhere an infected truck driver could be making a food delivery into a food packing warehouse. The truck driver goes inside the warehouse to the office to have the bills signed and find out what dock door to back into. While inside this driver sneezes spreading the virus inside this warehouse, it then gets caught by employees working there and then brought home to their families so on and so forth. These types of things are happening and it's contributing to the spread. Let's look at this from another angle. Wyoming was just declared a national emergency due to Coronavirus. Not only that but Coronavirus has now been confirmed in 20 of 23 Wyoming counties. Why is this significant? The United States has a population of over 328 million people. The least populated state is Wyoming with a population of roughly 529,000 and is also the 9th largest state by size. To give you an idea how crazy isolated Wyoming is look at it like this. The national population density average across the United States is 94 people per square mile. Source: [link to www.worldometers.info (secure)] Older source shows about 93 people per square mile. 328,000,000 people and United States is 3,531,906.00 square miles which comes to about 93 people per square mile. Source: [link to www.indexmundi.com (secure)] A state like Florida has population density of of 353 people per square mile. Source: [link to worldpopulationreview.com (secure)] Now the state of Wyoming has a population density per square mile of.... 6. Source: [link to www.states101.com (secure)] That is how crazy isolated and sparsely populated Wyoming is! Now suddenly in nearly all the counties in Wyoming have confirmed Covid-19/Coronavirus cases!?! How? I would bet truck drivers played a huge part in that. How else could this virus be spreading so rapidly across such a vast isolated area while the country is on lockdown? It makes sense, sure there might be other reasons but think about it for what is going on here truck drivers have to be contributing to the spread. So why is this happening and what can be done about it? Well I myself am an experienced over the road truck driver so I have some insight on this. The biggest problem out here is many truck drivers don't have masks and/or don't use them or facial coverings while interacting at customers also while at truck stops (& remember we rely on public restrooms). An infected truck driver coughing and sneezing without any facial covering can walk right into a shipping/receiving office. What good is shutting down nearly the whole economy and ordering everybody to stay in their homes while at the same time allowing truck drivers to be spreading this virus all over and doing nothing about it?!? It is complete madness of the highest order!!! Another thing all these truck stops where drivers get food and rely on their public restrooms well they have become infestation zones! They can walk right in there with no facial covering on coughing and sneezing all over the place! You think that's bad, try the restrooms. They at times become jam packed with lines inside waiting to use the stalls and etc again with potentially infected people coughing in a small enclosed space surrounded by a bunch of people! How safe is that? Where is the social distancing there? Again another disaster! What can be done? First of all the most important thing above all else is to get exposure out there of what is going on! Share this information everywhere! Talk about it with your friends and family etc. We all should be outraged this has been going on and nothing has been done about! Nobody is even talking about it! The first and most important step is to get this out there, without that there's less hope for change and everyday this goes on the more the virus spreads, more loved ones lost. Actions that can be taken? That is up for discussion. Here's some ideas. Require ALL truck drivers to have face masks, perhaps gloves as well. Require ALL shippers and receivers not to interact or load/unload trailers unless the driver has a facial mask and gloves. The department of transportation can get involved in this. You would think this would have been done by now, it has not. The mask/gloves aspect would make a huge difference! It can be done and I believe it should be done. Another idea, put porta potties on site outside of truck stops. That can help with social distancing and prevent the truck stop restrooms from becoming jam packed with people. The main thing is please get this information out there. I am deeply concerned over what is going on out here and I hope after reading this you are concerned as well. Now is the time for action. I am a nobody but together, together we can make a difference. Thank you The next truck you see please do everyone a favor and step out in front of it fuck face. |

The risk is there! No dude, just have truck drivers wear protective gear. That can make a huge difference. Or do not let them in the warehouses. The warehouse takes care of the loading and unloading. Drivers just sit in their cabs. The 31 year old I know of (know his grandma) who was on a ventilator for a couple weeks and is now recovering works in a warehouse and got it from a driver. So yes, I don't see why drivers can't just stay in the cab. |
