A long-haul trucker's last ride

Feb 28, 2020 at 08:13 AM CST
When Bob mentioned how he missed the days of driving his semi-truck and he wished he could take one last ride, our team knew that we needed to help make this happen. Bob had been a long haul truck driver throughout his life and since retiring he really hadn’t been inside a semi. We found a semi and driver! We quickly learned that one of our CNAs husband, Johnnie, worked for a local dairy who graciously allowed him to use one of their trucks to take Bob on a ride. Next, we needed to figure out how to get Bob in and out of the truck safely. One call to the local Fire Department solved that issue. The Emmett Fire Department said they’d be happy to assist getting Bob in and out of the truck. With everything in place, the last thing to do was to let Bob know that we had arranged for him to go on a ride like he so desired.
