"I think it’s possible that you can’t get trucks to haul it, it’s currently quite difficult to impossible to get goods shipped by truck.

I have neighbors in both the rail and trucking industries. They are still working, yet they see shutdowns coming as freight becomes undeliverable due to factory and retail closings. Rail is starting to get clogged in urban classification yards and ditto for truck terminals. If freight cannot be accepted it sits and plugs the conduits.

Sounds like one of the first things companies would try to do is to get S&R areas opened so they can accept freight.
