Motorcyclist looks for good Samaritan trucker
6/7/07

Jeff Blessing's guardian angel drives an 18-wheeler. On May 25, an unidentified trucker used his rig to shield the Dickinson man from traffic after he wiped out on his motorcycle in the northbound lanes of Interstate 45 near NASA Parkway.
"I was laying in the middle of the freeway taking a nap," said Blessing, referring to the 10:20 a.m. accident in which he struck a vehicle that had slowed or swerved after being hit by a loose tire from another vehicle.
Police said the trucker saw Blessing and maneuvered to block two lanes.
"I believe the trucker did save the guy's life," said Webster police officer Mark Rawls.
But the man, Rawls said, "wasn't directly involved, and he wasn't a witness to the accident so he was able to leave. I ... wasn't able to get his name before he left."
Now Blessing, 24, wants to find the trucker "so we can tell him how grateful we are. I'm just so thankful I got to come home again and see my wife and my little boys."

All in all I think most truckers would do that and not ask for recognition. I would help someone without thinking of it and not ask for a reward or prize

I've found in my line of work, talking to a lot of drivers, that a lot of them are also 2-wheelers at home.

Yup, right there. I know when I am out on my motorcycle, I always stop for someone with a motorcycle stopped on the side of the road just in case. I would do the same in my truck if I knew the guy needed help.
