Outside of some specific items I'm seeing grocery stores well stocked and quickly restocking (my visibility is not perfect here).
The real concern would be if the outbreak were to suddenly sideline huge amounts of truck drivers / pilots / etc.
But many 'non essential' or 'seeing less demand' warehouses are shutting down / not busy, and that frees up a lot to focus on other things. Also truck drivers are now allowed to exceed their usual maximum driving hours ... and they are moving fast traffic wise.
As far as truck drivers and etc I'm seeing warehouses isolate drivers where previously the driver was not isolated. They're providing them an isolated room and etc to limit contact between delivery point personnel or warehouses.
Logistics in the US is strange, surprisingly low tech sometimes, but also very flexible industry. Outside still fairly flexible as well.

I'm counting on some disruption. Even during isolation these people are basically walking infection vectors because of the nature of their jobs - loading/unloading (touching and breathing on) goods carried across the country. And I doubt we currently have the PPE for them...
