Thanks Bob. After 40 years of running the road i can tell you first hand that there's not a more lonely place in the world than the cab of a truck on Christmas. Truck stops are a beacon in the night that gives some relief.

From a person who has spent Christmas on carriers and in fighting positions on multiple occasions, I appreciate the simple sacrifice that those who wish to take care of others during this special evening. It truly puts the Holy in the Holiest of nights. Thank you.

Thanks for this story ... I just watched and what a surprise I got ... My brother (now deceased) was shown in this video - he was a trucker and had many a late night on the roads, it was a nice memory to see!

God Bless all those Souls on the road, away from their families and trying to make a Buck. And God Bless the Waitresses and Cooks who care enough to be there on a night like that, when they need a refill and warm meal.

Merry Christmas Bob, Kelli, and crew! Gonna miss y'all, but thank you so much for all the years and stories you have brought us! I grew up watching Charles Kuralt. And was so pleased to find your channel, and that someone was carrying on the tradition of real stories of real people. Take care and God bless always!🥰

I love this episode. Travelers are trying to get home for Christmas, and they see the lights of this truck stop. So classic. I used to work the gravyard shift. I know how it is working on the holidays to keep food on the table and cover the bills. Thank God for all-night beacons, such as this. Merry Christmas, TCR!!

It’s a shame that that Truck Stop is no longer there. Watching the story you could just feel the warmth in the room and the warmth of the conversation. People seemed friendlier then. The young lady in this memory was a gem! Not only working on Christmas but with a smile and a kind word for the lonely travelers.
