Default Panhandling

A ROSE goes out to the line of truck drivers who stopped to help a single mother who had lost her job.

WBTV, a CBS affiliate in Charlotte, NC, reported that Latrica Ingram lost her job at a restaurant there earlier this year. Unable to find work, the single mother of a 13-year-old daughter took to panhandling to help raise money.

She told the TV station she was standing on the Interstate 77 off ramp on Sunset Road, when more than 20 Con-way Freight trucks stopped and gave her gifts ranging from money to bottles of water.

Ingram said she thinks the truckers must have used the CB to organize their efforts, so she sent a message to the TV station to praise them.

Well, we’ll just throw our praise right in there with her. Thanks to those truckers for a good deed well done and for presenting a positive image for the trucking profession.

Nice gesture on their part, however I hope that some union brothers stopped too!
