USA: Truckers worried they won't be able to get home if they get COVID-19 on the road; a few companies know how to help

Terrified truckers have no idea how they'll get home if they catch COVID-19 on the road — and major trucking companies don't either, 7 April 2020 

Truck drivers are becoming increasingly worried that they won't be able to get home if they get the coronavirus. Business Insider contacted 11 of the largest public trucking companies in North America to ask how they will help drivers. Few supplied concrete polices. There are nearly two million long-haul truck drivers in the US. They are more likely than the average population to be obese, have diabetes, and not have health insurance — making them more vulnerable to experience complications from the coronavirus..."There are many concerns being 3,000 miles from home," Todd Hogan, a driver for a mid-sized food trucking company, told Business Insider.
