Illinois OOIDA members Jan and Jim McCarter arrived in Joplin about noon Monday with their J.B. Hunt trailer, toting items to contribute to the relief effort in the tornado-decimated Missouri town.

They were determined to lend a hand while remaining conscious of the warnings to “keep out of Joplin” and let the emergency workers “do their thing.” They decided the best way to help would be gather the items and work trucker to trucker – staying out of the way and delivering to another OOIDA member outside the restricted zone. And that’s just how they did it.

The McCarters spent the weekend in Oak Grove and Grain Valley, MO, where they collected supplies suggested by Bryan and Brice Martin of 4 States Truck and the Chrome Shop Mafia of Joplin. Bryan Martin, president of 4 States, is an OOIDA member. He and his brother, Brice, are longtime residents of Joplin.
