Land Line Magazine readers send 'roses' to HCP
Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) Life Members Kenneth and Lesley Lightner of Hillsboro would like to offer up some ROSES to The Highland County Press, their hometown newspaper, according to the October 2010 edition of Land Line Magazine.
HCP Publisher Rory Ryan wrote a recent column titled “Appreciating the American trucker” in which he detailed his admiration of truckers and all things trucking, the magazine reported. "He started out writing about trucking songs and TV shows like 'Ice Road Truckers,' and halfway through the article praises the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.
"(Ryan) recounted the time, some 30 years ago, when he saw protesting truck drivers shut down Interstate 65 in Kentucky. He said at the time he remembered thinking, 'If we tick off the American truck driver – en masse – Lord help us.'
"Ryan went on to say that people need to offer their support to the truck drivers, whether it’s in legislation or by simply extending a little highway courtesy. With an attitude like that, Mr. Ryan, we don’t think you have to worry about any ticked-off truck drivers any time soon."
