On a quiet Saturday afternoon near the Harbour roundabout, a woman found herself stranded on the side of the road, her car resting on a flat tyre. With cars rushing past and uncertainty creeping in, she wasn’t sure how she would manage to change it alone.
Then, like a true gentleman, a truck driver pulled over without hesitation. With a reassuring smile and a willingness to help, he quickly got to work—lifting the car with her jack, swapping the damaged tyre, and making sure everything was safe before sending her on her way.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, the woman took to a local Facebook page to share her appreciation.
"If this is you or your worker, I just want to say a massive thank you! For pulling over and helping me on Saturday afternoon near the harbour at the roundabout," she wrote.
"With not only my jack but my tire also, I really appreciate it and please PM me if you see this post—I’d love to buy you a beer!"
Her heartfelt post sparked an outpouring of support from the community. Many were touched by the simple yet powerful act of kindness, proving that generosity and goodwill still thrive.
"A reminder that our old-school truckies are still around," one person commented.
"It’s so good to see posts like this. Thank you for sharing," another added.
Others chimed in, celebrating the good deed:
"Love this. Still good people in the world."
"Good on you, Trev!"
Though the truckie’s identity remains a mystery, his actions did more than just fix a tyre that day—they reminded an entire community of the kindness that still exists on our roads.
