to do what I got to do while everyone
else is staying home Russ Simpson says
he's never faced a greater challenge in
his 34 years on the road we struggle to
find places to eat places take showers
we have to still go do our jobs and then
we run the risk of bringing that back to
our families they're stepping up safety
measures to ensure they stay healthy no
handshakes no knuckle bumps you know

sanitizer today these heroes want to
assure you they will continue delivering
