VRST Driver & Veteran, Garners Attention with Patriotic Semi Truck

VRS Trucking Driver and Army Veteran, Robert Brock, is driving the most patriotic semi truck across America that you’ll ever see. Better yet? It’s breaking barriers and gaining the attention of active-duty service members, veterans and civilians alike.

The 53′ semi truck features murals on either side, hand painted by our VRS Trucking Driver Support Team. The concept of the art was designed by Starla Wheeler, military spouse and VRS team member.

The truck, in its early stages, as our Driver Support Team begins the mural at VetFest, in May 2019.

One side of the truck features the U.S. flag, and the white stripes are substituted for camo from each of four military branches. Additionally, there are saluting silhouettes of a service member from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

The other side of the truck is black and white with a message that VRS Trucking Remembers, Honors, and Supports Veterans.

Army Veteran Robert Brock was chosen to take the truck on its maiden voyage. When he stopped at the Clearbrook Restaurant in Virginia, which caters to several Veterans, our truck gained a great deal of attention and sparked conversation. Robert took photos of the four Veterans at the restaurant, and Veterans Rideshare decided to go the extra mile.

To thank these men for their selfless service by giving them each a free meal and a $50 Visa gift card. To thank other Veterans for their support of our great nation, we’re buying a meal for 20 more Veterans (especially those in need) from the Clearbrook Restaurant.

As Robert headed back to the West Coast, he passed some troops at a rest stop, working on one of their vehicles. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Robert turned his truck around at the next stop, and pulled off at the rest stop. He didn’t hesitate to meet the 336 Batalion out of Buckeye, AZ and thank them for their service.

Robert shares, “It was 116 degrees and these soldiers were changing a wheel seal on one of their vehicles. I was so impressed with these soldiers. A lady passed out from the heat and they immediately ran to her aid, revived her, and made sure she was fine. As if that were not enough, the Captain allowed some of his men to pose for me and allow VRST the honor to salute those who keep us safe at home and abroad.”

Tune into Robert’s interview with Jackie Toops, to hear about the truck’s maiden voyage, and learn all his dream.

Veterans Rideshare Employs Veterans, Pays It Forward

When Veteran Chris Pozek founded his company, he did so to give back to America’s former military service members. Today, Veterans Rideshare employs veterans and their families, provides dependable, safe and flexible transportation solutions, and directly benefits our nation’s former military personnel and other charitable organizations. 

Pozek shares, “I have been taking care of people since I was a Combat Medic (91B) in the Army. It is truly an honor to ‘Pay it forward’ to veterans and military families.” It is to this end that he dedicated his efforts to offering direct employment opportunities to military veterans and providing a corporate culture that openly salutes and celebrates our nation’s heroes.

Members of the VRS team gather during their first VetFest event in May 2019, an event designed to highlight Veteran musicians and artists.

Veterans Rideshare strives to offer better solutions for reaching every destination and provides non-emergency medical transport, ad-hoc shuttle service, freight options and more. 

They provide rider-focused options to include special rates and fares for Veterans organizations. Pozek shares, “We offer more options than other transportation services, and uniquely, we provide the chance for every ride to give something tangible back to the military men and women who have so selflessly served.”

A portion of all fares are dedicated to non-profit, 501(c)3 Veterans organizations, and passengers have the ability to designate an organization at the end of their ride. Each passenger has the ability to select the featured organization of the month, or donate to their charity of choice.

Veterans Rideshare knows what it means to serve, and this is why the company generously gives back in numerous ways.

They have teamed up with the popular military lifestyle blog, ArmyWife101.com, to support active duty military families. “We’ve watched VRS help three military families in need. They provided money to the family of a disabled Veteran for a Thanksgiving feast, and brought an active-duty couple and their baby home so that both families could meet their new granddaughter. Most impressive was the generous $500 Christmas they provided to the family of a service member’s widow and the four grandchildren in her custody. Veterans Rideshare truly makes a difference.” 

Veterans Rideshare is a business dedicated to serving our nation’s Veterans. Pozek closes with, “We strive to provide unique transportation options that will improve upon the lives, opportunities and possibilities of our passengers, our employees, and our nation’s Veterans.” To learn more about Veterans Rideshare, please visit veteransrideshare.com.
