"My name's Harvey. I'm 68. I work the night shift at TravelCenter truck stop on I-40. Pump diesel, ring up snacks, clean showers. Same blue vest for thirteen years. Truckers fuel up, grab coffee, hit the road. Most are gone in fifteen minutes.
But I see who stays parked.
Like the trucker who'd been sitting in his rig for three days. Engine off. Never came inside except for bathroom. No food, no shower, just sitting.
Fourth morning, I knocked on his cab. "You okay, buddy?"
He rolled down the window. Looked exhausted. "Broke down. Waiting on parts. Can't afford to eat and fix the truck both. Truck wins."
"When'd you eat last?"
"Tuesday."
It was Friday.
I went inside, made him a hot dog, brought chips and coffee. "Store policy. Can't sell day-old stuff."
It wasn't day-old. But he was starving.
He cried eating that hot dog.
Started noticing others. The female trucker sleeping in her cab because shower credits cost too much. The rookie driver rationing gas station food because rookie pay barely covers fuel. Truckers choosing between eating and making deliveries on time.
I began keeping food. "Expired" items still perfectly good. When truckers looked desperate, I'd "find" extras they could have.
Word spread on the CB radio. "Harvey at the I-40 TravelCenter helps drivers."
Then something unexpected. A trucker I'd fed years ago made it big, started his own company. Came back, left $1,000. "For drivers who are where I was."
Now our TravelCenter has a "Trucker Relief Fund." Other truck stops copied it. Fifty-three stops across nine states.
I'm 68. I scan Slim Jims and pump diesel fuel at a highway truck stop.
But I learned, truckers deliver everything we need to survive. And they're often starving, broke, sleeping in their cabs because one breakdown destroys them financially.
Watch your lot. Someone's been parked three days without moving. Someone's choosing between fuel and food.
Find the expired snacks. Offer the shower credit. Sometimes a $4 hot dog is what keeps a trucker from giving up on a road that already gave up on them."

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.
Just repost this on any leftest post crying about Jimmy Kimmel it should shut them up. It won’t but at least it shows how much this is all just an act, fake outrage, they are beyond pathetic. This is a very fun watch.
AOC called Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric ignorant, while making an ignorant statement.
She also misrepresented what Charlie said about the Civil Rights Act.
We can’t keep doing this - it’s putting people in danger.
I’m struggling with something here. There are calls for this UofT professor to be fired. She is clearly a nasty piece of work, but where is the line drawn? If the right engages in cancel culture the way the left so vociferously has, does that not make us the same as them? I don’t want to be like them.
🚨 PLEASE LISTEN
I am tagging just as she asked, and I would ask all of you to please repost and tag …this needs to be done ASAP!
@POTUS@realDonaldTrump
@4thOfJuly365 Unfortunately, it would violate their First Amendment rights, which is something Charlie Clark himself was an ardent defender of....we shouldn't stoop to their levels.
@Akshay22848090 @TuckerCNews The mental health issue will pop up with people saying that he would be a different man if he was medicated but the fact is there are also MANY non-compliant people who cant be forced to take medications..... so, where is the line drawn? I think he's been given multiple chances.
I see people commenting that the videos of Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk shouldn’t be shared.
I disagree people need to understand how and things really are.
