There are over 1,840 highway Rest Areas in this country and over 40,000 Truck Stops.... [View all]
And in almost every single one of them, there are drivers who have parked and slept for the night, miles from home.
I'm fortunate these days that I am home almost every day, and just walked in the door (2:30 AM EST) after a short, 380 mile trip down to Melbourne, FL and back
Have a thought for all the dedicated truckers out there who spend holidays, birthdays, anniversary's and other family events on the road, so this country can continue to run smoothly.
Below is a photo I took earlier this evening at 11:20 at a rest area on the northbound side of I-95 near Mims, FL.
About 12 or 14 guys parked for the night on Christmas Eve. Tens of thousands of drivers are doing the same thing all over the country tonight. May they all get safely home to their loved ones.
