I'm sure all of us would be in favor of this,and it could serve as a "Trojan Horse" to our benefit,by bringing national reciprocity to the forefront.

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- A group of small business truckers has sent an email to the Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. The email asks that, as part of the national emergency involving the Chinese virus, the federal government declare the Second Amendment overrides state law and federal regulation forbidding truckers from exercising their Second Amendment rights.

From transportationnation.com:

The 15,000-member SBTC is calling on federal authorities to preempt state and local laws regarding the right to carry a firearm.

Therefore, in accordance with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, we hereby request the U.S. Department of Transportation please issue a preemption order nullifying any and all state and local laws that restrict truck drivers from carrying firearms across state lines throughout America in order to enable them to protect themselves and their cargo as they engage in interstate commerce.

No reason not to. We're counting on them to be a lifeline bringing supplies to those in need.

I totally agree with that statement,and its sentiment.
That said,the national reciprocity efforts have gone nowhere.

Because of that, granting truckers national reciprocity,could open the gate for the rest of us, when nothing happens,contrary to what the antis forecast.

Truckers Pressure Congress to Pass Concealed-carry Reciprocity Law

Representative Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), who introduced the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, told Freightwaves, a leading provider of trucking news to its members, that attacks and threats of attacks by rioters has awakened interest in his bill. On Friday he said, “Truck drivers are the backbone of our country and understand this issue more than most, as they drive alone with valuable merchandise across state lines every week. I will continue to fight to advance this bill in Congress and defend the rights of truck drivers and all law-abiding citizens.”
