Good Samaritan truckie

I've seen much the same on the lonely road from Cunnamulla (Qld) to Bourke (NSW). A motorbike had had a stone hole the fuel tank. A truckie loaded the whole bike to take it to Bourke.

Emma Collishaw thanked truckie Jason Freyling for helping her out when she was stranded in the middle of the Australian outback.
Stranded woman thanks truckie: 'No words for his generosity' January 23, 2019.
STUCK alone in the middle of the outback with a blown tyre, hours away from any service station, other people and no phone signal was basically this woman's idea of a horror story.
The woman, Emma Collishaw, who knew how to change a tyre, spent a while trying to change it herself and struggled with the tight wheel nuts before deciding the best course of action was to flag people down if someone drove past.
Lucky for her, a truckie named Jason Freyling came along in his road train.
Emma, who lives in Clare in North Queensland, took to social media to express her gratitude for Jason's help.
"Not only did he help change my tyre whilst supplying me with cold drinks, he then offered, once we got to a town, to pay for new tyres for my car, made sure I had something for dinner and he paid for me to have a room for the night at a motel," she wrote on Facebook last night.
"He would not take anything in return to say thank you (not even a carton of beer) and then he just got in his truck and continued on his way.
In the post, which has been shared more than 600 times, she said there were "no words for his generosity".
"There are still good people in this world," she said.
"(This is) definitely one of them stories I'm going to be telling when I'm old and grey."
An update to the post said that he also covered her fuel for the next leg of her journey.
"This was not expected one bit but he wanted to ensure I get to where I am going safe and sound with no dramas. There are no words for how grateful and lucky I am. Thank you!"

Some good people out there.
Her session with the tight nuts is to be expected, tyre shops claim to have torque limit impact wrench's but I have had to go heavy duty to remove wheels after they have had a go. ( that includes dealerships )
Anyone heading out should go over all the wheel nuts before leaving and make sure they can be removed roadside
Cheers Steve

I have noted some lately actually using a proper torque wrench on them. I do remember when they all used to rattle them until you'd think they'd strip.

Hi,

a bit sad to think that someone being help on the side of the road is such a rare event now that it is consider News.

Call me a sceptic if you like, but how can a truck driver afford to blow the best part of a grand, on some random sheila?

Not knocking any thing he is alleged of doing, but if it is all true, I'd like to know what his bride said when she found out he had spent the weeks money on some random woman, including paying for her motel.

He didn't have a sleeper cab!

That cost him a couple of minutes, Swishy, not a weeks pay.
