Hey Rob, it's Flora from every little thing.

Hey Flora, how are we going today?

I'm pretty good, how are you?

Oh, another day in Paradise.

Where am I finding you right now?

I am just outside of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and into Illinois.

On April, we talked to some essential workers on the front lines of what was at the time a new pandemic.

It's been eight months and we wanted to see how they're doing and what's changed.

If you want the best possible experience of this podcast, I recommend that you listen to that episode first

so you know everybody and their stories.

We'll put a link in the show notes.

Today we're going to start with Rob.

I'm Rob, I am a truck driver.

Will you catch me up?

Give me the high point of the last seven months.

Things getting back to normal was definitely a high point.

They got real slow.

Like I lost a quarter of a quarter into a third of my income because my company has a lot of furniture, a lot of tires.

So I'm sure it stopped selling a good deal and our factories shut down.

So I had to learn to find every place we could to just chop a dollar here, a quarter there.

Helen, the kids, hey, I hope you like Mac and cheese and not dogs because it's going to be a lot of that in your future.

But made it through.
