I’m a truck driver, I can drive any truck, been doing it for 37 years and it’s getting slow now so I have free time so how do I get down there? I’m not paying out of my own pocket plane rides. I can be down there this week if they get me a plane ride and haul whatever they want. I also use to drive a taxi in New york city which is the hardest kind of driving anybody can do. I was also homeless and unemployed for 2 years (never took food stamps or welfare) so I’ve experienced extreme hardship. Here I am, ready to go so how do I get down there? I’ll haul every last trailer they got to whereever they need it

Check out that link and call the number. Looks like they are looking for guys like you.
Contact Samaritan’s Purse. See if you can catch a plane ride down with them! They’re out of South Carolina, but I’m sure they can work out the logistics for you, if you want to volunteer to drive for them:

call your teamsters union. Apparently they’re recruiting.
The PR port union drivers won’t move the cargo. The Teamsters Union here stateside is mobilizing boatloads of drivers to go down there and move it anyway. It promises to be an interesting situation of ‘the’ union versus a territory’s union. But probably not as dangerous as Iraq. ;)
