A serious outage of muliti trucking software systems is occurring.

Update: As of 19:30 the software systems are still down. I can see all our units on a digital map and over 1/2 our units are parked. I deal directly with the company owner (I was one of the first three company drivers), and he told me he had no idea if it was an ongoing service attack. The outage seems centered around a transportation management program with the name of "SAP".
Both our asset side (Trucks) and the loads the brokerage side are being turned away from fairly large companies. The industry uses multi software platforms to coordinate between manufactures, customer, and the transportation (us).
We have one of 4 of our suites went down late afternoon. Loads are being turned away from Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and I'm sure it a wider outage.
The odd thing to me is that the outage appears to be either across multi-programs, or a sub program that is key to helping them interact. Everyone is telling the drivers it will be fixed in the AM, cool, if this goes on for 24-48 hours there will be store shortages starting to pop up.

And they were not able to see anyone for anything because their file system is down. It seems everyone here uses the cloud for everything. I know the county government does, perhaps the state Health Dept. does too.
Are these transportation systems on the cloud? Could that be a problem if the cloud is hacked?
Can the cloud be hacked?
