I'm a CDL driver for a refrigerated shipping company that deals in mostly food and medical. I already have diamond status so this isn't that helpful to me but I'm glad to see that something is being offered that could help those of us who need it. As of now I've been given one mask and one small bottle of home made sanitizer. Amazon doesn't consider me a first responder so they won't allow me to buy things to protect myself. Luckily I still have plenty of gloves and was able to buy a gallon of hand sanatizer and 25 masks. Hopefully that'll work! But anyway, its nice to see ANY kind of benefit for truck drivers at a time like this, because we are going to keep this country moving no matter what.

If you're still staying in motels, I've had good luck requesting rooms that haven't been used for several days. I also bring my own pillows, and spray down the bed some with rubbing alcohol, also disinfect all other touched surfaces like remote controls, bedside tables, door handles, bathroom handles, etc.

Stay healthy!

Depending on the location, you can sometimes get a free upgrade. Not nothing.

Great gesture. FYI military service = gold. Would be nice to see existing golds be bumped up to next level if applicable.

Additionally, those whom are Homeland Security designated essential workers. I.E. all those who are mandated to not shelter at home (including those termed as life sustaining retail workers) would probably enjoy some love too

Thank you so much! I've received the 25 I got from the Suplly Aid post on here so hopefully those work because I use one per day that I work and am saving them just in case. I drive a straight truck so I'm forced to stay in hotels but am thinking about sleeping across the seats of the truck instead. The thing I'll run out of fastest is gloves but I've started to use my polyurethane coated gloves that I use to put fuel in the truck, I can use them and then sanatize them before getting back into my truck and then wash them when I go through my town. Thanks again for the offer and thank your mother as well!!
