COVID-19: UPS FREIGHT TEAMSTERS WIN PAID LEAVE

Good luck getting tested for the virus. There is such a shortage of test kits that you will not be tested in any state unless you meet strict criteria, have severe symptoms or admitted to a hospital or recently returned from a infected Zone/country other wise you will be told to self quarantine for 14 days.

Families First Coronavirus Response Act: Employer Paid Leave Requirements

Its getting really slow. We’ve lost about 50% of business compare to last year.
As a result, all our 10% drivers, and 5 bottom dock workers lost to layoffs. More layoffs coming as business further declines. OT is being monitored heavily.
Over extended drivers living beyond their means will have to make decisions and sacrifices soon.

Stay Safe, Socially Distance, Shelter In, if possible Stay At Home.
