I’m writing today on behalf of our truckers, the men and women who drive the big rigs that keep our grocery stores, big-box stores and other still-operating retail stores stocked with goods. This is an appeal to those restaurants of all kinds that are still offering drive-thru menus to consider how to serve the truckers whose rigs, in many cases, cannot fit through your drive-thru spaces.
Truckers are going hungry where they are not allowed to walk up to order food at drive-thru windows and are forced into a sometimes fruitless search to find a meal.
If your restaurant can accommodate truckers, a sign out front saying "Welcome Truckers" would let those hungry men and women know that they can find sustenance at your establishment at this unprecedented time when choices are very limited, especially along our state's interstate highways.
Thank you to all for your support of our truckers, who are still out there facilitating our country's business.
Susan Garland, Eden
