Please help a trucker in need this holiday season

The second annual Christmas Group fund drive for needy truckers is underway. Nebraska Trucking member E & R Transportation is part of the Christmas Group that last year raised over $8,000 to help 13 trucking families in need have a better holiday. This year, the goal is $10,000 and 100 percent of all donations go directly to trucking families nominated for the extra help by fellow truckers. Eldon McFarling, the “E” of E & R, says that one of the nominated families is from O’Neill, Nebraska, with a driver diagnosed with ALS. To make a donation or nominate a family, visit http://cdlofit.com and look for the Christmas link at the top of the page. You do need to register on the site to access the information. Donations can also be made by phone, ComCheck, PayPal (cdlofit@me.com) or postal mail. For details, call 417-200-4411. CDLofit is a social networking group for truckers. Feel free to contact McFarling for more information about the group and the fund drive.
