Re: Truck drivers spreading Coronavirus everywhere is a crisis that must be addressed! The risk is there!
I'm saddened by the amount of backlash just basically for saying it would be helpful if truck drivers had protective gear to protect themselves and others.

You know truck drivers are away from their families putting up with all this BS out here and risking their health in a pandemic. It's because of them food is available for all you people among other things.

Regardless how bad you people think this virus is, it would be helpful if the people traveling across the country all the time for work and delivering you your food had some protection for your sake and theirs.

I will say this though, if nothing is done over this truck driver aspect then some real BS is going on.
Think about it, why do you have to not work, are under a stay at home orders and in some cities required to wear a mask while around others BUT at the same time truck drivers allowed to travel freely about with ZERO safety requirements over masks and etc.
It makes zero sense.

Another example of this madness if you are on a car coming from Louisiana into Florida you will go through a checkpoint and ordered to self quarantine.
Thread: Florida to setup Highway Checkpoints to stop the flow of people from Louisiana!!!

Same type of stuff going on in Texas
Thread: BREAKING: TEXAS LOCKING DOWN IT'S BORDER - GOV executive order !

How is it if you are in a car coming from certain states you can be ordered into quarantine but if you are a truck driver coming from the same area you are exempt and free to do as you wish?
Not saying truck drivers should be quarantined also, what I'm saying is there is a massive disconnect between the public and truck drivers.
Massive safety restrictions, endless orders and loss of freedom for the public supposedly to halt Coronavirus but when it comes to truck drivers nothing. Nobody cares, they can do whatever wherever and be without safety protection.

It does not add up.
Overkill in one aspect of society and zero in the truck driver aspect which btw there's millions of drivers.
 Quoting: Flying Poptart


I hear what you're saying. But in all honesty, truckers probable have one of the least social occupations, at least face-to-face contact time. Also, while I am sure there are some who aren't, I think they are smart enough to be cautious considering they know they are delivering food, essentials, etc. across the country.

It starts with face masks & ends with Hijabs.

It starts with closing Christian churches & ends with only Muslim religion can operate.

It starts with stay at home on your own & ends with stay in your home or we'll arrest you.

When the truck drivers meet up with people at each location, then both parties wear a mask, and keep from touching each others face.

It would help if nobody fucks the truck drivers, or gives them a big kiss on the lips.

Re: Truck drivers spreading Coronavirus everywhere is a crisis that must be addressed! The risk is there!
Truck drivers go from state to state, coast to coast, into your town and out of your town.
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

Countries without lockdowns and contact bans, such as Japan, South Korea and Sweden, have not experienced a more negative course of events than other countries. This might call into question the effectiveness of such far-reaching measures.

Without truck drivers a lot of us will die. Without infected truck drivers some of us will die but more truck drivers may die too! I love truck drivers! So we can't let that happen.

Fear of the virus can be mostly psychological. So, when every truck driver would be wearing a fake/disfunctioning mask, people wouldn't fear them anymore.

Anyway, I want to thank all truck drivers for still working so hard!

I've said from day one truck drivers and prostitutes were the main spreaders...just from the exchange of money they spend or when they go eat somewhere else.
