Another true hero.....trucker stuck on I-95 shared his food with fellow stuck travelers....

After hours stuck with other drivers on a frozen highway, a long-haul trucker with a two-day supply of food left popped out of his semi Tuesday morning to offer his neighbor a hot meal.

A drink and a Jimmy Dean bacon, egg and cheese breakfast bowl.

Jean-Carlo Gachet said he had a couple of days of food in his truck and a microwave.
"He was shocked when I -- when he opened the door at first, and you know, I was saying, 'hey, I just made you a hot breakfast and a cup of fruit punch,'" trucker Jean-Carlo Gachet told CNN from the cab of his vehicle, still unable to move in Virginia.
He had left his home near Richmond with several days of food in his truck.
Gachet has been stuck on Interstate 95 near Dale City, Virginia, since 1 a.m. Tuesday. He was on a leg of his trip that had him headed with goods to Georgia. The other car had been stuck as well for seven hours.
Gachet used his microwave and heated up the bowl of food. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
