Open Roads, Shuttered Rest Areas: How N.H. Truckers See the Pandemic

While large sectors of the economy are shuttered at the moment, there are still plenty of products to ship, and goods to deliver to peoples’ homes.

Truckers, a loud but often invisible piece of the market, are in the middle of those transactions, logging thousands of miles back and forth across New England.

NHPR reached out to a few—Dan Schweitzer, Steve Brochu and Kevin Perrier—to see how the open road looks to them, in the middle of a pandemic:

As a general assignment reporter, I pursue breaking news as well as investigative pieces across a range of topics. I’m drawn to stories that are big and timely, as well as those that may appear small but tell us something larger about the state we live in. I also love a good tip, a good character, or a story that involves a boat ride.
