Some advice from my truck driver husband...

56. Tell your husband to hammer down and keep them wheels turning.

Helps with the paycheck that's for sure.

Parking has always been a problem. Pennsylvania went overboard in my opinion in shutting down all the rest areas for parking - even the ones with no facilities. Fortunately they relented for the most part and most have reopened. Indiana though different story - they opened up their weigh stations for parking and unless signposted one does not normally park at weigh stations.

Sounds like your husband pulls dry van or reefer freight. The company I work for (Maverick) is mainly a flatbed and glass hauling company, with some boats on the side. Now that freight has slowed to a crawl with foundries shutting down and glass fabricators (not the float glass manufacturers themselves - they can't easily shut down) we have found ourselves with little freight. Fortunately our office team (mostly working from home) have found some dry van work - we have a crew who are now doing work for Walmart under a power only arrangement - for the Clarksville AR distribution center.

You're right that there is no need to panic buy. However I feel that demand will still be up because people are at home, will eat more at home, and sometimes will go grocery shopping because they are bored and want to relieve their cabin fever even though their fridge and cupboards are well stocked.
