How for real worried are you about being robbed or possibly hijacked? Or at least an attempt..1 to 10?

You my friend have identified one of the many logistic problems that could easily cause this to be really bad

A cargo hauling pilot that's a lot smarter than yours truly once told me that "logistics wins wars". He was right, but that's only one aspect of it(It does more than win wars). Hoping the pussy panic doesn't set this place back too far.

ETA: Thanks for hauling the load baw

After watching a dozen cars in front of me ignoring a trucker’s signal to ease over in our lane, I flicked the high beam at him and let him in much to the chagrin of those behind me. He flashed his tail lights and thanked me with this gesture. Both of us felt good after the exchange of pleasantries. Spread the love people!

Theres really not many lizards left - craigslist and phone apps really wiped that sect of their industry out. Its rare you see them now, but its frequent in the TA on i94 outside of detroit and the Petro on the Atlanta loop. The old days of hookers being everywhere are long gone. And trust me - the ones that are left are the most desperate of the desperate.

Just dont cut us off to get to an exit and merge behind us instead of gunning in at the very last second of a merge ramp and we're good. Those are my 2 biggest pet peeves.

Right now its low, but like I said - if these morons in charge start closing down warehouses it will start getting bad. Trucks will be sitting with freight in the trailer that cant be delivered, meaning they're stranded, meaning that they cant haul another load until its delivered. Then it happens to more and more drivers and the shortages start. Those guys will start abandoning their loads - either just ditching the trailer and going home or pushing the freight out the back door so they can go somewhere else. After a couple of days the stores start to see shortages and people target where the product is at- the trucks.

Like I said, right now its low. But the government cant let the logistics in this country come to a halt. Entertainment is one thing, but freight stopping would be cataclysmic - especially for food and gas haulers.

That's a scary scenario, wonder when the decision is made to abandon shipment.

Happens a few times a month at a friend's shop.

We always end up with free shite at the camp.

We once got 500lbs of bacon chunks. Like the shite they use in restaurants
