As somebody who did some long haul trucking for awhile, I find this very conducive to the truth about truck stops: noticing how clean they are and all the things for sale, and the overall sensibility and life style. I'm a little tread lightly on the " without these men here, we could starve, " as I know a lot of dedicated female truckers, and I tried it myself but was not cut out for it….still, a good poem.

Yeah, I know there's female truckers out there. I want with 'men' because I was basing the images here on a specfic truck-stop not too far from my home, and I swear everytime I've been there I've only seen male truckers there. Statistically, even with women being a minority of truckers, I would think I'd have seen a female trucker there by now, but so far, nothing. Thanks for reading.
