Those fellows are faithfully carrying the tomatoes from Nogales to Omaha. They are also carrying the masks and ventilators through the night, probably fudging on their log book, to get the load to hospitals in Louisiana and LA. Thank God for the cop who learns what's in the load, checks the log book, hands it back, and says, "Keep moving, trucker."
If you know a truck driver, he should be raised up near the top of your prayer list. They are having hard times caused by all the rest areas being closed..... nowhere to stop and conveniently sleep for a couple of hours. And, no restrooms for many miles. Restaurants at fueling stops are closed. And, their partner driver is home under quarantine.
And, the people they are forced to deal with in loading and unloading areas could be infected with the virus and put them off the road and make them unemployed.
When you pick up a tomato at the super market, how about breathing a prayer for the trucker who hauled it to you? God knows who he is.
Without these men, America would come to a dead stop in about three days. You Americans must forgive me for cheating and using an Aussie trucker in the video. The song just says it all, and it exalts manliness.
Hey, you in the Peterbuilt, thanks, and God bless you, sir. Take care of yourself please. We love ya, and we need ya.
