Who Is That Person Behind The Wheel?

 

Truckers are found on highways, in truckstops, in service bays, on loading docks, on back roads and at fuel stops, and often they are the first at the scene of an accident.

Their wives help them.

Little boys follow them.

Relatives don't understand them.

Meals must wait for them.

Weather can delay them.

But nothing can stop them.

A trucker is a paradox.

He is a blue-jeaned executive with his office in the cab.

He is a scientist who hauls dangerous chemicals and explosives, a purchasing agent in a baseball cap, a personnel director with grease under his fingernails, a poor eater with a fondness for burgers and fries, a student of geography and a weather watcher.

He likes sunshine, children, smooth pavement, good traction, clean loads, dinner at home, weekends with his family, an unbuttoned shirt collar and country music.

And there is a special place in his heart for his rig.

He's not fond of city traffic, tourists who are rotten drivers, fuel prices, dispatchers, snarly recievers, kids in high-powered cars and least of all, drunk drivers.

Nobody else can get as much satisfaction out of talking about trucks, truckers, good weather, homemade pie, strong hot coffee, kids, wives, sweethearts and the price of fuel.

He is your friend and customer.

He is your source of food, clothing, petroleum and natural resources.

In fact, nearly everything in your life arrived in his truck.

And when he comes home late at night after a long and tiring trip, the energy sapped from his hopes and dreams, he can be lifted up once more by those magic words, "DADDY'S HOME!"

 

If you got it, a trucker brought it!
