One of the frustrations that surfaced last week as members of the American trucking industry continued to adjust to life on the road in the time of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak was something normally quite simple: getting something to eat.
Then, late last week, the largest of the fast-food chains made a change just for serving truckers.
On March 23, McDonald’s announced a new process for serving drivers.
For stores that are take-out only, McDonald’s is asking truckers to use their smartphones to get their meals. McDonald’s told truckers to:
- use their mobile order & pay app, when they arrive at the restaurant
- select curbside service and walk to the designated trucker curbside sign on the sidewalk outside our designated door
- complete your order by entering the appropriate trucker curbside number and we’ll bring your order to you at the designated door as soon as it’s ready
