Trucks stops across the US are open for business -- and they're planning to stay that way

Undeterred by the coronavirus pandemic that has brought most of the US economy to a halt, truck stops remain open, offering truckers a place to eat, rest and refuel on their way to delivering critical supplies to a nation that's hunkering down to slow the spread of COVID-19.Earlier this week, the US Department of Transportation said truck stops now qualify as an essential business, meaning they are viewed as too vital to shut down.

Lounges where drivers typically gather to watch TV and talk are generally being closed, as are sit-down restaurants. Instead, takeout and meals that can be quickly purchased are being offered. Cleaning regimens are also being conducted more frequently and thoroughly.Pilot Flying J, which operates truck stops in 44 states and six Canadian provinces, said its team has been cleaning showers after each use with degreaser, disinfectant and floor cleaner.

You know what? I’m going to google some of those. Call them up, and buy meals for truckers over the phone from the safety of my home. Anyone care to join me?

If anyone is worried about not having any antibacterial wipes or hand santizers, here's a better solution. Keep a water container, hand soap, and paper towels in your car to use as a mobile sink. Fill it up halfway and store upright just in case it leaks. coronavirus COVID19

Yay lets celebrate what's 'allowed'

If this Coronavirus continues on until the summer, President Trump needs to look after the health and safety of all Americans. That includes cancelling the 2020 election. This is a national emergency and with the mass hysteria on CNN- no need for voting. We can vote in 2024.
