Here at Drivers Wellness, we have recently become aware of and have started a friendship with an organization that focuses on the tragedy of human trafficking. If you are unaware of this, human trafficking is when young underage girls are brought into the industry of sexual slavery against their will. They are brought in from other countries and kidnapped from within the United States, and forced to provide sex acts for money, which their traffickers keep. This kind of abuse is one of the most terrible cruelties, and the testimonies are sickening. If you are a trucker and see this type of activity in the truck stops you frequent, please give us a call. We will either put you in touch with the trafficking authorities, or we will contact them for you. Don’t let this type of abuse go on in our truck stops. Call us for more information. Comment here

Maybe you are familiar with the ex-governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich. His story is somewhat intriguing as we can learn a thing or two regarding the abuse he used within his office. The first thing is in regards to the abuse of power. Whether your power is within your own your truck, the management of your office or at home with your family, we should not use that power for our own glorification. Leadership should be like a bridle on a horse: power under control. The second thing is about verbal abuse. At his recent court date, Mr. Blagojevich decided not to testify for himself. Why? Because his advisors realized that his tongue would hurt more than help. Our tongues have a way of getting us in trouble. If you struggle with abuse of power, whether physical or verbal, let us help. You’ll be a much better person for it. Comment here.

Recently, the media covered a story about a government worker who had been fired from her position because of some racial statements she allegedly had made. The accusations ran fast and wild. Within three days, this government employee was verbally abused, lost her job, and was labeled as a racist who didn’t deserve to work at that level within the government. After the entire story had been revealed, she was found not to be a racist and was actually helping those she had been accused of hurting. The moral of the story is that our tongues can cause damage and can get ahead of our minds. Let me encourage you not to speak unless you have something nice to say, and also, if it’s not true, don’t say it. Have you hurt someone with your words lately? Let us know if we can help.

I will watch or listen to as many baseball games as I possibly can, since I’m such a big fan of it. My wife, however, sometimes gets annoyed with me and I need to be careful that I don’t allow my attraction to baseball to overrule my relationship with her. I recently read a story about a retired baseball player who had a temporary injunction filed against him by his wife after a domestic dispute at their home in Tampa, Florida. His wife stated that they got into an argument and her husband crossed the line between discussion and abuse. Whether it’s verbal or physical abuse, it’s all wrong. There is so much abuse within households today that goes unnoticed. Why do we treat the ones we love so badly? If you struggle with any type of abuse, please call us. Don’t let another day go by.
