I stumbled upon the topic "costumers show appreciation" in another forum. Lately the drivers in my area have had a bad rap because of a murder commited near the truck stops here. I am here to write something good about the drivers.
A while back I had a flat tired on I-78 in NJ. I had my 2 small children with me and was near the exit 7 truck stop. I thought it would be safer to stop there, than on the highway. I called AAA and they said they would be there in about 1 hour. So I waited and a lot of people parked in front of me and nobody would look at me, because them they would be obligated to help. An older gentleman driver asked if I needed help. I said "no thank" and told him AAA was coming. A driver from Knight pulled in and saw me. I guess after he gassed up, he saw I was still there and came over. I also told him AAA was suppose to come. Well, he and the other gentleman,who had come back, changed my tire in 10min.
I was very grateful for their help. The older driver disappeared on me. I had tried to pay the Knight driver, but he wouldn't accept the money. I called the Carlisle, PA terminal and told them what happened. Since I didn't think to get any names or drivers' numbers, there was no way to tell who they were or to put any acknowledgement of their good deeds to their records. A lot of people passed me by that day and it's nice to know that there are still good people out there.
And THANK YOU to those drivers-who ever you are.
