Profile Information
- What kind of dog(s) are you looking for?
- My name is Sue. I am a veteran of 31 years in the executive offices, including owning my own real estate office, and 15 years as an over-the-road truck driver. I have two daughters and a total of seven grandchildren plus one great-granddaughter due in August 09. I am also an ordained minister.
In September 05, following the horror of Hurricane Katrina, I was driving down the road, praying about all the animals and people in the MS and LA areas when I asked, "Lord, what can I do? I'm just a truck driver." I heard one word very distinctly "Transport." My immediate reaction was "Huh? How am I supposed to transport?"
With encouragement from friends and family, I went on XM radio to a live trucker's talk show and asked the drivers if any were interested in transporting. They were!
Now, nearly 4 years later, and with more than 372 pets successfully moved or enroute, Operation Roger is here to help whenever we can.
We are truckers who Volunteer to do these transports but we do enjoy having a companion on board. There is nothing like seeing a happy individual receive their pet.
The one limitation we have is time. All our drivers must keep to a rigid time schedule for delivering freight around the country. We must pick up and deliver these pets as we do our regular jobs. Pets must be brought to and picked up from the driver whatever time of day or night the driver arrives. This is usually at a truck stop, rest area, somewhere where it is safe to make the switch. Remember, these are 70 foot vehicles. They can't get in just anywhere.
When a pet is assigned, the driver keeps in touch with the parties involved. The receiver will know more about the pet by the time it arrives than they would have any other way. Each pet gets a lot of TLC. As one driver put it, we are a Foster Home on Wheels.
You guys and gals who rescue these pets are awesome. I know I am not one who could do it, but Operation Roger salutes you all. You all keep doing what you do best and Operation Roger will help you complete the process when we can. Keep up the good work!!!
P.S. We are putting together a nationwide network of Layover Homes and Shuttle Drivers to aid in this effort. We need them in every state. We need YOU! Applications are on our website.
