@tmerr1 i pass that cross all the time going to cardinal games haha.

[bobby1st]

This video makes me think of how it was with me and my kids makes me sad

[kometshockeyxicy]

im like 95% sure that it is the bridge over the missippi it was a pretty neat sight.

[kometshockeyxicy]

at 1:26 is that in illinois? i remember seeing it when i went down to Texas this summer? and is that bridge the one going over the missippi? im asking because i have the same looking pictures on my phone

[tmerr1]

@kometshockeyxicy

Yes that is the one in Illinois. :) Not sure about the bridge, but there is a good chance of that. I would have to have him watch the video and see if he can figure it out. :)

[707maddierox707]

[KMillism]

I quit my job as a truck driver 5 yrs ago 3 weeks after I heard this song after leaving the house to be gone for 7 or 8 days . I pulled off the road and cried like a Baby . This song was confirmation for me. Keep up the good work guys.

[cowboypete007]

i just love that song,i was working in the oil sand in northern alberta and my son was 3 he was always crying when i leave for work.i hade to leave him 3 weeks at the time.hear that on radio and made me almost cry,just thinking of my little man.

[TheBucki78]

I'm a former driver. Heard this song on the road I-95 north bound in Georgia a couple years ago and it made me cry. This is a great song and really hit to close to home. I now dispatch the very guys I used to run with knowing these things gives you a different mind set toward these guys that keep AMERICA going. God Bless all you drivers out there.

[fd4130]

I was OTR for 5 years and I know how it is being away from family. Keep rolling safe

[barrysthprt]

This is also a good tell for men working offshore on boats or in the oilfield. gone for a month at a time.Capt. Dave knows what this has cost him.Good luck brother.

[lifeline5288]

truckers, they make the world go round

[heartsnflames71]

yes its the one in effingham!!

[Aaronjac]

As a driver, this song hits home! For the non drivers, ..............try i then you appreaciat what you have.

[countryboyXx]

this is a good song my dad and i are truck drivers and every time i hear this song i get on the cb and yell out to yo side kick 103.7 put it on

[tmerr1]

The cross is the one in Effingham. My honey took the pic himself. He never did deliveries in TX so it could not be the one there. :) Hope that explains it. :)

[jeffsl12]

I am 42 and that song puts tears in my eyes everytime.How much is time worth?

[iwillpunchyourface]

that was a great video

[NickAden13]

When I seen the cross I thought it was bald knob cross. But I was wrong

[bnphoom]

could you tell me where is this place

so beautiful, wif a magnificent song

I love country life !!!

[iloveroblox0]

My dad is gone forever, he died i iraq.

[tmerr1]

Thank you for all of the comments. :) After taking the summer off due to an injury then going back and then his company going bankrupt, Jeff went back to OTR yesterday with a new company. So far we are all adjusting, but it is hard on him and the kids. I just don't think about it. I have to admit we miss him horribly and at nights you can find me crying after the kids are asleep.

May God Bless All of Our Drivers and keep them safe!!!

[azgal101]

I heard its a very stressful job to be otr.

[fivehaucks]

As A driver myself I can relate. My father and grandfather were both drivers. My children use to ask when you comin home. Id tell them whenever the road brings me this way.

Its not only hard on the kids but just as hard on the drivers who have family.

Just remeber that those miles that he/she is pushing is for not him but for the family he has. I love my family and thats why Ive been a driver for more than 22 years.

Good luck to those drivers and their familys

[chrissybby16]

These all look like my home state ; Oklahoma (:

[cecilsf102]

There's another cross that is very similar to that one, and it's located on a hill just East of Ballinger, Texas. You can see it for miles during the day, and it is lit at night. Truly awesome!

[aldrich4k]

I love the pic at 1:31. That cross is on the south side of 70 by Effingham, Illinois.

[ameribull]

Theres a cross just like that in Groom Texas also

[trucker63601]

If I'm not mistaken that is the Groom Tx Cross...Been a few years since I passed down that way but it sure looks like it. and the flat surface looks like TX.

[gerdes75]
