So, just got back from Walmart. Absolutely NO tp, hand sanitizer, or ramen. But I drove around back of the store and there were 10 trucks waiting to unload. One of the drivers said usually only 2-3 trucks each morning.

This is the downside to JIT (Just In Time) inventory management systems. It takes a while for the supply chain to catch up to unusual consumer demand(s)

Perhaps the "One Road" Idea is not the best either.
