A feel good story for you on this Friday, and a true example of the positive power of social media. An out of town trucker, who was stuck out on the 402 due to a crash earlier this week, is singing the praises of Strathroy residents, who came to his aid. Trav Carmichael had posted in a local Facebook group Wednesday, asking if anyone knew if he could part in the Walmart lot to rest up a bit for safety reasons. Later, he posted this on his social media.
Trav went on to say how thankful he was for all the interactions from caring people.
One woman posted on the site that her son is a trucker so momma bear wouldn’t be sleeping that night and blessing all truckers. Another woman got in touch with Walmart and found out it was ok for him to park there. A Walmart official tells myFM truckers are allowed to park in their lot, but there’s a four hour limit.
