Truck driver David Rau has reportedly driven through the Boise Stage Stop for more than two decades. His wife is also the truck stop’s general manager. Rau said serving the meal “has a certain spot in my heart.”
“It’s a big deal to have this when they can’t be with their family members,” Rau noted.
The truck stop was packed with truck drivers enjoying the Thanksgiving food. It was the 18th year the free meal was offered.
“It means everything because we spend so much time on the road,” truck driver Kelly Willis said. “A lot of times, we don’t have a place where we can be with our families. So, having a place where we can come and be treated like family is priceless.”
