“Want to give a big shout-out to Juan Barbosa trk #13049 for helping me out recently. My truck went down in St. Louis on a Thursday night. He was so gracious to give me a ride to Tulsa so I could be with my family for the weekend when there were no rental cars available. Not only was he one of the best and safest drivers I’ve ever ridden with in 10 yrs, but he went out of his way to make me feel welcome in his truck. I really enjoyed the 7 hr visit with him. Very smart hard working 23 yr old young man. Mr Harold would have been so proud of him. He’s a true professional. Thanks so much Juan. Hope to see you again under better circumstances.” -Chris Bollinger to Juan Barbosa
