That's a cool feeling!
I bet that experience will stick with you for life... and, probably never happen again.
Heck, it makes me feel better just knowing someone thanked YOU!

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

So last night I'm sitting in the restaurant at the TA in Aurora, OR finishing my dinner. All of a sudden out of nowhere this old man walks up to me and asks me if I'm a truck driver, then says "thank you for what you do."
Of course I thanked him in return. That was really just mind-blowingly awesome. We're all too familiar with the usual brand of thanks we usually get: horn and finger. It was so nice to hear an average person say they appreciate the sacrifice and struggle we all put up with. Surprising as hell, but nice.
I can't think of a better way to end a day, can you? Well, except maybe winning the Powerball jackpot.
