who giving a free xmas dinner?

My mom does that for the fire station near where she lives. She did that when we were kids too. Nice to know she's not the only one!

My girls mom shot videos of my girls opening gifts and tried to email them to my mom and I but the Galaxy Note 3 shoots monster sized video files and they were too big to upload!

 

I have the note 2 but yeah the files are big, even the pics unless you turn down the quality.

 

the free dinners on Christmas went out with the big orange ball, there was a time it really happened.

 

I say give it to the fireman or the policeman or the soldier.

 

Notice it is your carrier who gives you a free meal...not the truck stop.

Once long ago many truck stops (chains and independents) offered a free meal for all commercial drivers. Just show your commercial license if even that. TA and Petro always did before they merged with each other and before the orange ball (Union 76) for you newbies disappeared from the sky.

Yes, it used to be that way but I attribute the rising costs of doing business forced the TS owners to tighten their belt.

 

I take it all back. Those $25.00 have to be spent on Christmas day. Everything was closed down on Christmas, and they would not honor it the day after.

 

I know this was related to Christmas....but I noticed all the people saying truckstops give NOTHING away....just wanted to point out that on Mother's Day the Petros pick up the tab for any female CDL holders. A nice gesture I thought...

 

that doesnt help us male drivers
I know for fathers day we didnt get anything!

only free stuff I have gotten was a hat during trucker appreciation week and my occasional free coffee that you have to purchase 12 before to even get or is it 9? I never pay attention.

 

And Petro T/A offered free meals up to 15 bucks to Veterans on Veterans day.
