Hmmmmm, Truckers...

Everything in life has it's pros and cons and trucking is no exception. Truckers get little or no respect from a vast majority of non-truckers, they are away from their families and friends for long periods of time, they sleep in their trucks and take showers in truckstops, they find it very difficult to get a healthy meal...I could go on and on BUT...the blessings of being a trucker far out way the negatives.

A trucker gets to experience the freedom of the open road, meeting new people from all over the country, seeing things that many of us will never get to see.

A trucker will experience driving over the George Washington Bridge or the New Jersey Turnpike or the Golden Gate! A trucker will see the majesty of the Statue of Liberty or the beauty of a California Redwood tree or the intensity of color in the coolness of a New England Autumn, or even the sweetness of a Navajo moon...

The Blessings that God offers to the trucker are far greater than any negative word or action that can come to them from another person.

Thank you God for your blessings to the truckers!
