An Idaho truck stop continued its decades-long tradition of treating truckers who are out on the road for the holiday to a free Thanksgiving meal.<\/p>\n

For many years, the Boise Stage Stop (located between Boise and Mountain Home) has shown appreciation for the trucking community by offering a free full turkey dinner and pumpkin pie dessert to any CDL holder who stops in.<\/p>\n

\n

The annual event is a way to provide truckers who have to spend the Thanksgiving holiday away from family with community and a hot meal.<\/p>\n

Truck driver Kelly Willis told 11Alive<\/a>, \u201cIt means everything because we spend so much time on the road. A lot of times we don\u2019t have a place where we can be with our families. So having a place where we can come and be treated like family is priceless.\u201d<\/p>\n
