Where do truckers spend thanksgiving

That sucks... I thought on a holiday they would try to make sure that you are near home.

 

I own my own company so it's up to me but yes, I would have liked to have been at home but I was sick on the road with the worst cold I've ever had.

 

That sucks

 

Not that bad not being at home. I'm single and kids in different parts of the country. I would have liked to have been at my friends house though stuffing my face and watching the games. They have 2 new baby pugs and those guys are mental.

 

Sounds fun...

 

They are cute.

 

2 years ago i spent it on the road... most depressing day of my life lol. Won't do that again

 

I was on the road many years ago out West some place. Don't remember where. It wasn't a chain truck stop but a large one. It was Christmas day and there was a knock on my door from the pastor of the church next door inviting me to Christmas dinner. I said no. Didn't want the whole praying and all that. He wouldn't take no for an answer so I went.

It was a whole bunch of volunteers putting on a HUGE spread for the truckers. It was really good. Then I got a Christmas present all wrapped up. Inside was a ton of trucking related stuff like gloves, back scratcher, WD 40 and a ton of other stuff.

They gave me a to go container to fill it up. I went to give him $20 but he wouldn't take it.

 

Aww... that was really nice of them...
