'My name's Harvey. I'm 68. I work the night shift at TravelCenter truck stop on 1-40 Pump diesel, ring up snacks, clean showers Same blue vest for thirteen vears. Truckers fuel up, grab coffee, hit the road. Most are gone in fifteen minutes But I see who stays parked Like the trucker who'd been sitting in his rig for three days. Engine off. Never came inside except for bathroom. No food, no shower, just sitting Fourth morning, I knocked on his cab. "You okay, buddy?' He rolled down the window. Looked exhausted. "Broke down. Waiting on parts. Can't afford to eat and fix the truck both Truck wins." "When'd vou eat last?" 'Tuesday." It was Friday I went inside, made him a hot dog, brought chips and coffee. "Store policy. Can't sell dav-old stuff." |t wasn't day-old. But he was starving He cried eating that hot dog. Started noticing others. The female trucker sleeping in her cab because shower credits cost too much. The rookie driver rationinc gas station food because rookie pay barely covers fuel. Truckers choosing between eating and making deliveries on time. I began keeping food. "Expired" items still perfectly good. When truckers looked desperate, I'd "find" extras they could have. Word spread on the CB radio. "Harvey at the 1-40 TravelCenter helps drivers." Then something unexpected. A trucker I'd fed vears ago made it big, started his own company. Came back, left $1,000. "For drivers who are where I was."Now our TravelCenter has a "Trucker Relief Fund." Other truck stops copied it Fifty-three stops across nine states 'm 68. I scan Slim Jims and pump diese fuel at a highway truck stop. But I learned, truckers deliver everything we need to survive. And they're often starving, broke, sleeping in their cabs because one breakdown destroys them financially Watch vour lot. Someone's been parked three davs without moving. Someone's choosing between fuel and food Find the expired snacks. Offer the shower credit. Sometimes a $4 hot dog is what keeps.
