God bless all truckers and thank you for the many hours and miles you travel through all kinds of weather to provide our needs. Be safe and know you’re all in our thoughts and prayers every day and night. Our family stands behind you (and beside you), since we have many who have served in our military and have driven many miles for the trucking companies.

Those lazy truckers need to go to work hauling stuff like true American truckers. They are anti American.
