GMC travel during Corona virus

[Fred Hudspeth]

Larry:

I know what?s in place in WV extremely well, and have first hand access to
the people who wrote the same in Ohio.

If challenged, you need to establish three things - first, that you are
transiting the state, and that you MUST return to your home in Wisconsin,
and that you are taking all precautions.

You may get some dolt fixated on ?RV Parks are Closed?. You got this.

I can?t speak to Illinois, but most fuel locations will remain open. WV and
Ohio are encouraging truck stops to stay open.

Here?s the response from:

Covid-19 Public Statement - Speedway https://www.speedway.com/covid-19

I don?t need to remind you that we are in the age group where you don?t want
this thing?..

Travel safe.

Thanks.

I bought a box of throw away gloves - 100 to the box - at Advance for something less than 20 bucks, plus my 10 off. I put a pair on, open the hood
and gas fill, check fluids, close the hood, take my previously removed from the wallet plastic and set it in the slot, then punch in my freebie number
and all the other info, select the grade and fill it. Then replace the nozzle, remove and toss the gloves, add two drops of sanitizer to a palm, wipe
hands and credit card, and head out.

Like a memorized checklist, each step in turn and I don't forget any. So far, it works. A lot of folks around here are not staying home, and the
count is rising.
