The Salvation Army is restarting efforts to dish out hot meals for truck drivers in Port aux Basques. (Adam Walsh/CBC )Volunteers at the Salvation Army are renewing their efforts to provide hot meals to truck drivers finding it hard to access some services on Newfoundland and Labrador's roads. 'I will admit I am a bit choked up eating this meal the Salvation Army handing out to us,' tweeted truck driver Sam Parsons, who enjoyed the meal in his transport truck. Health Minister John Haggie commented on the feeling some truck drivers have voiced that they're being blamed for the province's COVID-19 situation, saying that drivers "are not our enemy" and are providing an essential service. Volunteers served over 2,600 meals to truck drivers last year.
