Those who are essential in delivering the COVID-19 vaccine should be a priority.
Truck drivers were certainly essential enough to society that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration lifted restrictions on the number of hours that drivers could work back on March 13—the first time they had done so since the restrictions were put in place in 1938.
“We've been working long days and long weeks since March,” said Dale Pink, a 50-year-old UPS driver in Harrington, Delaware. “It's been peak season for nine months.”
"These workers have been on the front lines from the very beginning, working long hours to keep the supply-chain running, and continue to do so,” said Denis T, the Director of the Teamsters Package Division.
