A Salute to Truckers and their Families by Vicki Scofield
The truckers think of family, as they drive along,
but they Know their job is needed to keep our nation’s economy strong.
It’s the working men and women who make our country great —
Let’s not forget the truckers as they haul that load of freight . . .
Without them we’d have empty shelves in our homes and stores,
They keep America working in every town from shore to shore.
Let’s also praise their families for their sacrifices, too,
For they stand behind the truckin’ man and woman with a love that’s strong and true.
If no one seems to appreciate all the miles that separate,
If you haven’t heard a “thank you” for that urgent load of freight,
Let me tell you, driver, you’re a hero ridin’ tall
As you navigate from coast to coast and bring goods to us all!
And for the families of the truckers — A sincere appreciation
For the sacrifices you have made as they roll across our nation!
