ST. GEORGE - Appreciation is often scarce for truck drivers, but the Southern Utah Trucking Association offered them a pleasant surprise Wednesday.
In honor of Truck Driver Appreciation Week, truck drivers were greeted with free snacks and beverages as they passed through the St. George Port of Entry.
Volunteers lined the narrow stretch of pavement, eager to show their support for the drivers.

I just don't know... When it comes to the law I have little trust in them anymore... Feels to me perhaps they are baiting them in to make them feel like, them cops are good old guys.. Then in a few months they open that ticket book and start righting them guys up who thought it was all good there.....

No really, UT has not been bad for me.. they do seem like a decent bunch over there.. I had a simple log book mistake, you know one of those roll out of bed scratch a line and go type deals. Well in most cases a scale would nail you for that, they simply pointed it out and said go ahead and fix it and have a good day.. I can name many states where that would not happen and would ended up in a ticket....

So, far as my experience goes with UT they do seem like a decent bunch of guys, and understand that drivers are just trying to make a living and they are human, mistakes will happen...

Now if this was NE scale or OR (an many more) I would be suspecting the baiting them in comment...
