The Trump administration has quietly agreed to give 1 million masks to truck drivers after months of ignoring requests, 29 April 2020

The federal administration that oversees regulations for American truck drivers told Business Insider it will distribute 800,000 face masks at truck stops around the country.

An additional 200,000 will be granted to trucking companies to give to drivers.

The decision comes after months of truck drivers asking for more support from the federal government as pay plummets and even large trucking companies fail to muster policies to protect drivers.
