{"text":"An Illinois State Trooper took time out of her day to let a trucker know how much she noticed — and appreciated — her safe and professional driving.\n\n\nOn Thursday, April 25, the Illinois State Police Facebook page shared a stirring post about one trooper’s encounter with a truck driver hauling grain.\nDear Grain Hauler, \n\n\nI saw you on Route 47 headed south. You were taking your time, obeying the speed limit. I kept my distance behind you. I followed you for probably 20 miles or more, watching your driving behavior. \n\n\nI wondered if you were loaded or empty. If you were headed to the elevator or back to the farm. I didn’t run your plate. I didn’t want to pass you as there were so many no passing zones and intersections. We drove through several small towns. I couldn’t even see what trucking company you were. \n\n\nHe I I I I I I He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He Your trip today, where you were hauling to and how many trips you'd made. \n\n\nI saw you turn your turn signal on as we pulled into Gibson City. The elevator was just around the corner and I hoped that's were you were headed. I didn' I want you to see you. I saw you look at me in the mirror when I parked behind you at the elevator entrance. You want to pull you over. I didn't want to startle you. Semi in front of you. \n\n\nI hopped out and approached your truck to shake your hand and tell you that I had been watching. You look concerned to hear what I was about to tell you. The relief was instant when I said it to good. You weren't expecting a Thank You. You clearly were doing what you must do all of the time. Your driving behaviors in that fully loaded semi show a lot about how you must drive all of the time. Cautious. Dedicated. \n\n\nI'm so glad you realized we notice when drivers do the right thing. We aren't out there to make your day to day commute a problem. We aren't there to issue tickets all day long. Law and hope drivers do the right thing even when they don't think anyone is watching. \n\n\nBy the look on your face, you didn't know anyone was watching..for the 20 miles. I was watching. I called your company and told them of our encounter. \n\n\nRead more: https://cdllife.com/2019/trooper-pens-letter-to-let-trucker-know-why-she-was-followed-for-20-miles/ ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
