Fed is suspending hours of service rules for grocery and paper loads, not sure if our company will allow it, though.

At any rate, please drive safe and as careful as your situation allows. And a Huge TIA for any paper products you can send our way. There may be some panic buying / hoarding, but here the double whammy of closed businesses / schools and work-at-home is causing a large uptick in residential water and toilet paper consumption. I hope that the supply chains can adjust and quickly.

BTW those 'special hours for seniors' are mostly a PR stunt. One or two hours a week, really? This senior is also SOL because a medical condition usually precludes me from getting up safely at O-dark thirty to drive to the store. How about letting us back order TP online so the suppliers can estimate the actual demand?
