What happens when a trucker faces a medical emergency and can no longer drive? That’s where the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund steps in—a nonprofit dedicated to supporting over-the-road drivers during times of crisis. In this heartfelt episode, Trucking Ray sits down with Diane and Lindsay, two passionate advocates whose personal ties to the industry make their work more than just a job—it’s a calling. From helping drivers quit smoking and manage diabetes to providing financial relief during devastating health setbacks, they’re tackling the hidden health crisis in trucking head-on. With programs rooted in compassion and results, and a mission fueled by integrity, St. Christopher’s ensures no driver is left behind when the wheels stop turning.
