Industry representatives say shuttered truck stops and off-limits gas stations are a growing challenge across the continent for workers who form an integral part of the supply chain -- from hospital goods to grocery stores, distribution centres and home delivery -- at a time when millions of Canadians are staying home and non-essential businesses closing their doors.
On Sunday, Ontario Labour Minister Monte McNaughton tweeted photos of signs reading, "No Driver Washrooms at this Location" and "No drivers beyond this point. No washroom access." Gas stations are typically the "last reliable place" for a rest stop, but that's changed over the past few weeks, Johnston said.
Please help our truckers! They need our support! Without them we are finished! Want you to all know our family really appreciate what you do! To truckers everywhere...keep up the good work!
🛑 stop our trucker have needs let them use the washroom stop for coffee & food without them we would have no food the hospital that are trying their best to keep us alive we need supplies
Get ready for flying piss-jugs.
We figured that. So we went in ditches along our route back to Alberta. Sorry not sorry.
5PctCarbs How offensive. No trucks = no economy. The washrooms should be first class with concierge staff to clean and sanitize them. Thank our truckers. Without them; we’d all be dead.
Hey fordnation maybe you can get some sense into your fellow Mins and have them keep their highway stops open to our drivers?
Like I said b4. Any truck stop who refuses any truck driver from using their restrooms our showers. Show get a massive fine. SupportTruckers
Better get ready for all the shit on the sides of the roads.
By some of the comments here you see how little anyone cares. A lot of them now taking Anti diarrhoea drugs so they don’t have to go as often.
Super 8 or something other business chain needs to get some government money to open up to help. If the Truckers quit then what? Maybe they should stop and have a blockade Across Canada.They need washrooms and food people
How about they all stay home then see how fast that problem gets fixed.
WTH? Classless acts.
This is sad news...Hope it get fix..The truckers are keeping this country together...Thanks to them..
An empty Timmies cup and hand sanitizer
Should only be open to truckers right now
It's called the great outdoors, the bush, the grass 🙄
First there is no food for them and now they can’t use a washroom, and yet they are out there working frontline to be sure essentials are delivered for us. Doesn’t seem fair to me.
Piss jug?
If a remedy isn't found ppl will start to see 'poop' all along roads.
They should allowed
Be like Ray off the trailer park boys jk
More piss jugs
This is outrageous. Put your heads together people!! Start a registry or something; let the drivers know whose supporting them! Come on!?
And yet the government keeps letting people load on to mobile toilets, otherwise known as buses/subways.
These are front line workers
If it weren't for truckers these restaurant wouldn't even be open
That’s fine I have TP I’ll poop on the ground
Trailer Park Boys had an answer for truckers and no washroom.
Use a bucket
No worries , trudeaus new increased carbon tax will resolve this
Park the truck one foot from loading doors and go to the bathroom
So we need, not want, we need the supply chain to continue and the trucks don’t drive themselves. Of course they need washroom access. Is that really too much to offer? 🤷♂️ sheesh!
Plus truckers unpaid
Doug Ford need look into this huge problem, we are asking bring masks and supplies these truckers doing the job for North America
meditationszn This actually doesn't protect ANYONE...it endangers the entire country
Shippers and receivers won’t let you use their washrooms either. You can sit there all day waiting to get loaded or unloaded and not be allowed to use their washrooms. Of course a lot wouldn’t before the pandemic.
Truckers are the backbone of the economy, not computer data punching work from home types.
where do coffee drinking truckers pee?
I get it, but this is brutal. Truck stops are vital relief.
Well then, there stops my resumes and applications for a truck driving job.
Use the crowbar key
These are the very same brave souls we are ALL depending on to get critical supplies to our health care institutions...
And they wonder why they can't find enough truck drivers.
CALL them OUT! Name them. Do news segments on them!!!
Someone should remind them that without truck drivers they won’t have a business to return to.
Finally this is noticed
Cmon get a grip what are they supposed to do...
