No one wants to deviate from their schedules, even though it looks like the northeast is going to take a shellacking from Irene.  At best, receivers are trying to get trucks to deliver their warehouses on Saturday, just before the storm hits.   However, many wholesalers are telling suppliers they expect deliveries on Sunday just as the storm is at its height in the Metro area.  Most truckers want no part of this.   They know if the warehouses are closed by public safety officials, the salesmen will go home and they will be stuck until everything reopens.  Which could be a long time if this storm, even weakened to a Cat 1, makes a direct hit on the NY/NJ area.
