    Yesterday here at work I looked out the front door and noticed a semi sitting out front with the rear half of the drive shaft on the ground. And to add to it, when the drive shaft broke, it busted his fuel line. The driver came in and told us what had happened and we gladly loaned him not only tools, but one of our employees to help him get back on the road. He couldnt have picked a worse day cause the ran was coming down thick, but he couldnt have picked a better spot to break down (right in front of a machine shop). We had everything he needed and we never asked for a dime or anything in return.
    He just called this morning and he is buying pizza for everyone in the shop. :tu:

    Its just nice to know that there are still some appreciative people out there.

    There needs to be more people like you guys in the world and we would all be a little better off. Instead everyone is wrapped up in themselves and doens't want to help unless there is something in it for them

    Way to help that guy out. I have been in some pretty sticky situations before and people have helped me out, it really makes you appreciative and easier to help the next guy out, even if it is out of your way.

    After reading the headlines about all the bad stuff going on. It is good to hear of a situation of people helping out a stranger. The world could use more people like you guys. :cool:
