To all the truck stops across America, to the Walmarts, Sams Clubs, all those stores with huge parking lots,
You keep the Truckers fed, give them fuel for their trucks, give them a place to get a hot shower free with fuel, to the stores, you give us a place to sleep and park the trucks when our hours say to stop, your parking lots are big enough for all sorts of truckers; those who haul food, medicine, toilet paper, paper towels, farm equipment to make the food.
Today, I find another post from another trucker, shared by someone regarding Sams Club calling the cops on a trucker for using the parking lot when their 10 hour run is over during these crazy times.
To you giant shopping centers, if it was not for truckers, your doors would be closed, no one would be able to get food or essential items, because the truckers are being denied places to stop to follow the law of the log book and laws passed during these times that a trucker can only work 10 hour shifts and then must stop for the rest of the day.
This from Truck News on Truckers Facing Challenging Conditions, it all must stop and these companies should do whatever they can to help the trucker.
I’ve lived this life for most of my youth and teenage years, when rules allowed me to go with my dad on long haul trips across America, it is fun to go and see America, but wow, the long hours down the road, all the fast food, quick grab sandwiches from truck stops, the locations on parking for the night, what an experience.
Then, if you are lucky and blessed on a trip when you don’t have to rush back on a short schedule, you can see the sights, go on ferry trips, actually go to a place, sit down and relax and have a true meal. That is the best part of all, when you are on the road a lot, those little comforts.
Now in this crazy world we live in, where the Truck Driver is an essential worker, it is time to treat these men and women as Kings and Queens of the road as they are, let them use the big parking lots, transform it into a mobile truck stop, good food, place to relax, showers, whatever they might need.
It is time they are finally respected for what they do and how important they are to this country.
