The Boise Stage Shop in Boise, Idaho, is continuing their tradition of providing free meals to truck drivers for the holiday season.

The independent truck stop, located off Interstate 84, has been serving free meals to truck drivers on Thanksgiving and Christmas for the last 12 years, in order to show their appreciation.

Samantha McDonald, a representative for the Boise Stage Stop, commented on the tradition, “They move the food we eat, the furniture we sleep on, the clothes we wear, the toys we play with. They’re the ones that are moving it from Point A to Point B and bringing it from the manufacturer to the store, and they’re really the ones that are responsible for keeping the holidays moving and they don’t really get the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the busiest times for things to be moving, which means those truckers are out there working.”

The Thanksgiving meal includes turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and more. Anyone with a valid CDL will be able to receive a free meal.

“We appreciate what you’re doing, and if you’re in the area, come eat with us because we want to say thank you and treat you to a lovely dinner.” McDonald added.

The truck stop posted this announcement on their Facebook page.

The Boise Stage Shop opened its doors over 120 years ago and serviced travelers along the Oregon Trail, which later became part of Interstate 84.

Now they’re a full service truck stop with plenty of amenities for drivers, including large shower rooms that are cleaned after every use, 24-hour laundry, an arcade, a theater room with free satellite TV, and more.

Drivers can also enjoy a free coffee, meal, and shower at any time, with the purchase of 75 gallons of fuel.

The Boise Stage Shop is located at 23801 S. Orchard St., off Interstate 84 (Exit 71) in Boise, Idaho.
