Thousands of drivers.
Parked in the cold.
Engines humming. Marker lights glowing. Christmas on hold.
Inside these cabs are empty chairs back home,
video calls replacing hugs,
and wrapped gifts still riding in the sleeper.
Rest areas become quiet streets tonight.
No fireplaces — just engines keeping the cold away.
While families gather for the holidays,
drivers keep shelves stocked,
power flowing,
and tomorrow moving forward.
If Christmas arrives on time,
it wasn’t luck.
It was thousands of drivers
choosing the road over the table.
