As I'm walking twards the building here this Rohle driver tring to put full 8 ft drops over his lumber load...trying to beat the rain....the two trucks parked next to him sat there watching him fight the tarps an the wind , bullshyating on the phone! Instead of giveing this guy a hand.....so i thru my bag on the front gave the old boy a hand. took us 15 minits between two of us to button the load up....it didnt bother me i was heading for the shower anyway....now the drive came in the truckstop ,wanted to buy me dinner..so i showered he said he would be waiting in dennys for me....so i took care of my buisness , a went into dennys.....we had dinner...I took the bill! he said it was his treat for helping him.......my comment.....pay it forward , next time you see a driver needing a hand...help him.....I'm not tooting my horn here...a couple of old timers......made me promise...I am a man of my word.....this is what truckings about. for all the bad thats out there if we dont help each other.....well you know the rest.........thanks dino:biggrin_25514:

    Good job, driver !
    I hear some drivers use the term " G.O.A.L." [ get out and look ].
    I like the term " G.O.A.H." [ get out and help ].
    Instead of watching someone trying to hit a tight park spot, and laughing on the CB when they give up, get out and help them back in.:biggrin_25525:

    nice job man!! i always try to help out drivers when i'm at the docks. if someones usin a pallet jack and i see their load might be tipping i go put a hand on it. when i see the bread guys rolling their bread carts up if i'm there and they got like 2 or 3 sets ill say "hey i'll get up in front and help" and i'll help guide there things up or get the door. we only got eachother out there whether you're local or OTR.

    Nice work man, when I was dispatching at Roehl I would tell allmy guys to help others that you see at the shipper or truck stops, even if they're not from our company,it'll help you out in the end.
