I love my trucker because he has always been the most awesome son. He has loved trucks since he could walk and talk about them. He is the hardest working person I know besides his dad! He graduated valedictorian of his fire academy class. But his dream came true when he bought his first truck at 20 years old. He has been driving for about six months and loves it so much that he was given the handle “Smiley.” His co-workers say he is the happiest dang guy they ever saw and it’s all thanks to trucking.
