That is when I remember first hearing about “The Knights of the Road” which is what my mom and dad called truckers.
Now, in these surreal times, we need those Knights of the Road more than ever before.

Nice to hear about "The Knights of the Road"
With the climate of a law-suit happy society these days almost all truck driving companies have a strict policy against stopping to help a troubled motorist. It is called a "sitting duck ploicy". If we had stopped to help someone on the side of the road and God forbid someone not paying attention runs into the back of the truck, many lawyers will line up to sue the trucking company. You could lose everything you had trying to be a good Samaritan. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
