The Future is Bright

The other day I stopped at the Burger King in Nelsonville Ohio. This is the same restaurant that I found the penny in a earlier blog. I noticed two young men helping a senior citizen lady. Upon seeing this I decided to walk over and see if they needed any assistance. They told me that they could use a tire gage to check the spare tire. It turned out that the tire only had twenty pounds of air in it. So I took the tire over to my truck and filled it up for them. It was sure nice seeing these young men helping someone in need. This is something that I also try to do on a regular basis. It is one of the ways that I try to shine a positive light on the trucking industry. These young men showed me that the future is bright indeed.
