What sectors are deemed essential within Transportation?

[Freight17]

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether Freight Brokers and Logistics companies will need to close their offices given today's announcement?

"workers deemed non-essential to in-person operations at their places of employment be required to work from home "

no we are part of transportations so essential. I would imagine it will depend on companies abilities to have employees work from home as well maintain social distancing in the office.

Depending on their role in the company, we have certain people who can work from home, but others that are needed in the office. I am trying to avoid any large fines if I misinterpret the rules

I am now in a manufacturing company, but the transportation end of it. Mostly in-house trucks. We have not had people working from home, but have spread out the office into boardrooms and other area's that are no longer used now...or any time soon.
