I would imagine a trucker would have many interesting encounters. I enjoyed reading these two. They would make a couple of short chapters in a very interesting. Maybe you keep a journal and put thing memorable ones into stories. If you don't you should.

Good stories. Thank you for sharing.
Truckers have two, outdoor urinals - comma not needed
We call that "hosing down our tires" but that's another tale altogether I heard a noise and found I was face-to-face with the ugliest, - You need a comma after 'tires'.
His hair was long and dirty, a beard and clothed in - This would read better if made into two sentences, the first ending after 'dirty'.
Best wishes.

You have certainly seen the rough side of life on your travels Tom and I enjoyed your stories and the compassion you showed in both cases, and congrats on your 200th post too, love Dolly x

Hi Tom. I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know some of the characters you have met when on the road. You and your trucker friends seem to be very decent men!! Thanks for sharing this.

    Like any other profession you have your good ones and bad ones. Most are nice people, and a lot of women are truckers now too. That oughta straighten the bads ones out, don't you think?

I think we all did a little something such a world we I'll be with you, I really like your the nap portion as well a great job so happy you submitted this.

    Thank you, Lea. Truckers show a lot of charitable kindness to the needy and administer "Highway Justice" when the need arises. More on that later.

I think I might have read other truck stories from you, Tom. These two are simply wonderful and inspiring and I really think they belong in a book. It's a telling reminder to us that we should learn to get past, sometimes, quite off-putting first impressions and see the inner soul inside. Thank you for sharing, Debbie

    If I could find a publisher that felt like you do I'd make it a book, but that's another story. Thanks for the kinf review.

Congratulations on your 200th post on FanStory. Surprise. I thought you were new to the site. You told two very interesting and well written tales from the road. God is blessing you for helping feed Mr. Rags, and the story of the little girl and the deer is adorable. Thanks for sharing memories of your road journey with us.


that's another tale altogether I heard a noise (Period after 'altogether')

I am sure as a trucker. You have many stories that you could tell about your days driving a truck. I enjoyed your story very much. Sometimes it is seems that the only way we really understand the down and out is to meet them and I understand why it is that they are in the place if they are. But for God's grace, I'm not sure I would be in a place as nice as I live now. Patricia

    Teah, some are fit to print and... well some aren't. Next up is Flashlight Annie. It'll be hard to believe but it's the truth. Thanks for the kind review.
