Welcome to Convoy’s Resource Center for Coronavirus (COVID-19). As we face the challenges of coronavirus together, we aim to provide support to carriers and drivers with relevant information and resources. Carriers and drivers are working tirelessly to get vital goods into the communities that need them–from food and water to medical supplies and cleaning products. We’re here to help the heroes at home and on the road.

According to the CDC, coronaviruses are types of viruses. COVID-19 is a specific new type of coronavirus. Potential symptoms may include fever, cough and shortness of breath.
The CDC states that the virus can be spread between humans in small droplets from sneezes, coughs, or hand to hand contact. The virus cannot be absorbed through the skin but it can infect individuals who touch their faces after coming in contact with it. The CDC has provided these guidelines to protect yourself.
The CDC guidance states that the risk of contracting the virus is low when handling packaged products. While the extent of the risk is unknown, CDC guidance states that COVID-19 is unlikely to survive on surfaces that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures.
Please reference the FMCSA site for information on Emergency Declarations, Waivers, Exemptions and Permits. The FMCSA recommends you check each State’s Web site and search for “Issued Emergency Declarations” if you are interested in more details.
If you are sick or think you may be sick, the CDC recommends that you stay home except to seek medical care. Please see additional CDC guidelines for more.
Avoid close contact with others and practice social distancing (at least six feet from others). Please see additional recommendations from the CDC.
On March 18, 2020 US Department of Transportation expanded the national emergency declaration for commercial vehicles delivering relief in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Please visit this site for the FMCSA’s identification of shipment qualifications and services.
