He had work to do and freight to haul, as he navigated through the blustery snow squall.
He pulled off at a truckstop to refuel and rest,when he caught sight of a man that was funnily dressed.
He had a red nose and a sleigh with 8 reindeer, and he looked at the trucker and waved him near.
The jolly old man hopped into his sleigh, and he turned to the trucker before he flew away.
"Thank You for driving this truck that you do, you and I, we're not so different, and we both push through".
"We both deliver items that others want and need, we both fight the elements and do it with speed".
"The only real difference between you and me, I do it in one night, you do it constantly".
The trucker watched the man fly into the night, and he wondered if what he had seen was right.
He hopped back in his cab and turned up the heat, he had places to go and deadlines to meet.
That Christmas Eve, many deliveries were dropped, and the children thanked Santa for the toys that he brought.
But the truckers unknown, they drove out of sight, wishing Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
