From a trucker to the public...A question.

[Snowwalker]

The public's buying pattern has changed drastically. Less meals outside the home + less regular trips to stores = a different load on the system. Throw in the huge meat packaging plant out west that had to shut down due to high covid infection rate of its staff. (As I was typing this the news just mentioned that the plant reopened today. The plant had 921 cases.)

We do not carry much meat.
For our reefer division:
It is all frozen foods, fresh produce, temperature sensitive medication and stuff you keep on the shelf ( at least till you open it) .

The Dry Van Division:
It carries all the stuff to put you food in.
Cans, bottles, cartons, non temperature sensitive foods and medications.
