True story!

Years ago, I was in a truck stop in a tiny Nevada town off I-80. I'd been there several hours just killing time in the casino whilst taking a break on a run to Sacramento, Ca. and waiting for the snow to slack off.

There was a couple from Oklahoma there with 3 small kids in a broken down stationwagon with 4 bald tires. They were on their way to California because the husband had a job waiting for him. Seems they'd been out of work for quite some time when this job came up and they'd sold what little they had to make the trip.

They'd made it as far as Nevada when the car finally shuddered to a halt in the parking lot of the truck stop. After hearing their story, several of us started "passing the hat" to help them out. Over at the only "dollar" slot-machine in the place was a man - obviously a truck driver - nice looking and dressed in clean clothes, but otherwise non-descript. He'd been sitting at that one machine for several hours and I'd even chatted with him briefly a couple of times.

When the "hat" reached him, he turned and said, "Folks, I've been sitting here, playin' this machine for a couple of hours now and it seems like it ought to be just about ready to hit something big, but I'm down to my last 3 dollars and it's time to be going." Then he looked at the wife. "Ma'am, these last 3 dollars are yours, but it's on one condition - You gotta' put 'em in the machine and pull the handle!"

Rather timidly she responded, "Oh, I don't... I just... I'm not sure." Her husband looked at the man and then nudged her, "Go on honey, it's no bigger gamble than we've already taken."

She held out her hand and the trucker dropped the coins in. One by one she fed them into the machine and then, with both hands, pulled down the lever...

The jackpot wasn't HUGE - something on the order of about $2,500 as I recall - but it was more than enough to get them the rest of way to their destination and tide them over to the first paycheck.

As the excitement started to die down, I looked around for their benefactor (whom they hadn't had time to thank) and saw him just as he paused at the door. He turned, saw me looking, smiled and gave me a wink, then he disappeared into the night.

Yep, I believe in angels! And it's mostly because, when I trotted out the door after him (I wanted to shake his hand) he was nowhere in sight and the only fresh tracks in that snowy parking lot were mine...

Beautiful story TK !!

Second that.

There have been numerous angels that have presented themselves in my life in one form or another. Don reminded me of when I was out on the road and I definitely had an angel watching over me that night.

I had a delivery to make up in Michigan and when I had a morning delivery I always preferred to run at night and this way I could pull right in to where ever I was delivering to. I was in Kentucky and had only been driving about 2 hours when I had all of a sudden become extremely tired which wasn't like me. I parked the truck at a truck stop and called a friend of mine and asked them to wake me up in an hour. They asked if I was ok, and I said I think so I'm just really tired for some reason. I fell asleep and woke up an hour and a half later to my phone. He apologized for it being later than I had asked him to call but he felt I needed a bit more than an hour. I got up grabbed a cup of coffee and down the road I went. About half way to my delivery there had been a pretty bad accident 2 trucks had collided one went off the side of the road and down into a ravine and the other went across the median and rolled onto the other side of the highway. After talking to some drivers that had been there since it had happened, if I hadn't gotten tired and stopped when I did I possibly would have been in the middle of it. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I really don't believe in those anymore. All things happen for a reason, even though we may not know it at the time it happens.

I know that there are many angels out there on those highways. Some are recognized and some are not. There are many things that people do, and expect nothing in return, sometimes all you can do is say thank you, even though it doesn't seem like enough.

How about your delivery at Albertson's distribution center in PHX???

That had nothing to do with angels...That was dealing with pure ignorant idiots that had their heads in their arses and had little to no respect for female truck drivers



























Those sorry good for nothing sob's

that is true indeed Cris, u really have around you angels that love you....

all i have to do to see one is to look up
but she won't look down
