We are very proud of every trucker that takes a stand for our country. My husbancd is an independent trucker and a vietnam vet. His loyalty to this country never faulters, and is in total support of our troops and the civilians serving our country in Iraq.
We are hopeful, this great country, will stand behind the American Trucker. As we are planning a truck shutdown on April 1 for our company, we pray, other truckers will take a stand with us, and do it with respect and strength and honor for our industry!!
