Hello,
(I think you will enjoy the Golden Age of trucking photos on our site)
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and our project, “Dispatch Me Home.” My name is Greg Martin, I am a writer and a trucking enthusiast, after many years of sitting on the sidelines I felt it was time to step up to the plate and try to make a difference. I want to change the negative perception of the American Trucker by the driving public and unfortunately much of the media. I want the notion of driving of a truck to be a terrific career decision, one filled with hard work, travel and personal satisfaction.
I have written the story of a gentleman truck driver that has always walked the walk, and talked the talk. Sam Morris, better known to his many friends as ‘Sam the Man’, has decided that after 40 years on the road it is time to leave the good dispatches to the younger drivers.
The phrase ‘Dispatch Me Home’ is now becoming synonymous with a ‘Veteran trucker leaving the road.’ We have put a lot of time and effort into this project. I would appreciate it if you could take a moment to visit our website, www.dispatchmehome.com. We have placed three of the shorter audio chapters on the home page for your listening pleasure, as well as added some additional ‘Sam’ photos and music. I have been working closely Hank Suderman,
over the past year to secure the approvals needed to post the great photographs on the site. As you can imagine, there is a heartwarming story behind each of them.
The trucking industry needs a positive shot in the arm. I am confident that “Dispatch Me Home” will be a step in that direction. The story of ‘Sam the Man’ will serve as a promotional tool for the industry. It is a feel good story about an aging trucker who while taking his last run across his America, realizes that becoming a trucker long ago was the best decision he had ever made.
With your assistance, we can bring the story of ‘Sam the Man’ to the attention of the general public. Four wheelers, as well as Eighteen. “Dispatch Me Home” the movie, will be much like baseballs, ‘Field of Dreams’, but for the trucking industry.
We are looking for support. Sponsors are welcome. To show our appreciation, we will gladly post your organizations name and link on our website. With your assistance we can bring “Dispatch Me Home” to a movie theatre near you. Help us, to Help you, Help our Industry .
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Have a ‘Sam the Man’ kind of Day!
Sincerely,
Greg Martin
