Miles of Wisdom: What the Road Taught Me

For nearly 15 years, I’ve worked the night shift at Ed’s Truck Stop where truckers, loners, and the occasional troublemaker pass through. One rainy night, an older man walked in, maybe in his sixties. He looked worn but calm, ordered a slice of apple pie and a glass of milk, and sat alone by the window.

The quiet didn’t last. Three loud bikers barged in, full of noise and ego. They mocked the old man, ruined his pie, and spat in his milk, laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world. The man said nothing. No anger, no words. He simply stood, paid his bill, and walked out into the storm.Then came the twist.

Minutes later, headlights cut through the rain. An eighteen-wheeler pulled into viewm assive, deliberat and crushed all three of the bikers’ motorcycles without pause. The old man’s truck. He didn’t even look back. Just rolled away into the night.The bikers stood there stunned, their laughter gone.

Back inside, silence returned. A grizzled trucker lifted his coffee and muttered, “Here’s to the ones who don’t waste their breath.”Some lessons don’t need words. Some nights, karma drives a rig.
