In this unprecedented crisis
brought to us by the lying Communists in China, the COVID-19 pandemic
panic has gone too far. America's truckers, the people we rely on to
restock our empty grocery shelves, are being treated like disease
vectors and worse, they've been forgotten.
The
state of Pennsylvania thought it was a good idea to shut down all the
rest stops where truckers sleep, including closing the bathrooms—until
the trucking lobby caught the ear of the president. Thirteen rest stops
have been reopened in Pennsylvania, but our truckers are being forced to
use porta-Johns that are far dirtier than the public bathrooms. How is
this helping?
It's
not just rest areas, but restaurants are closing their dining rooms,
even in truck stops. Truckers can't go through drive-thrus. How are they
supposed to eat while they are killing themselves to bring us toilet
paper and fresh produce? Companies receiving the goods aren't even
letting the drivers use their bathrooms.
This has to stop, people. We owe our truckers more consideration than
this. Read this thread from a trucker on Twitter and feel ashamed. Then
call your representatives and tell them to do something about this. It
begins, "TRUCKERS NEED YOUR HELP" and describes the terrible conditions
they are faced with due to the WuFlu lockdown.
I don't know how else to get our industry help. I'm concerned and feel disappointed, discouraged, and disrespected. We are breaking our balls to supply Americans during this crisis my location has quarantined us completely from the entire facility...
It's an outrageous offense against the people who keep this country running. Duane Plessinger is one of the truck drivers I interviewed. He posted on Facebook about the challenges he is facing. We should take this very seriously.
Everybody
wants truck drivers to get the toilet paper to the stores, along with
everything else they want, but think about this. Pennsylvania has closed
its rest areas, I'm sure other states will be also. Restaurants have
closed except for Drive-Thrus, In case you haven't noticed, big trucks
don't fit in drive-thrus. Many McDonalds have truck parking but you have
to go inside because you can't walk up to the window. Also most of the
restrooms on INSIDE. Inside is closed. Where are drivers supposed to get
food and to pee?
