Eighteen year old, Rubner Sobalvarro had enjoyed growing up in Nicaragua. His grandfather was a well- known and respected physician. His father had a small trucking company that employed several drivers allowing them to support their families. As the ruling dictator departed the country, Rubner knew his life would be at risk if he chose to stay.
Making his way to the northern border of Nicaragua, Rubner and a friend decided the United States represented the best government in the world. Determined to live in the “land of the free and home of the brave”, they set out on foot with a three day supply of provisions.The distance Rubner would walk would be equivalent to leaving Seattle, Washington and arriving in Miami, Florida. Sobalvarro walked every step of the way counting on his own tenacity and his desire to be a citizen of the greatest country in the world. He immediately went to the United States Immigration Department and sought political asylum. One week after being granted asylum, he received his work permit.
His brother, Norby Sobalvarro, invited Rubner to come to Liberal, Kansas for employment opportunities. In Liberal he met and married his wife Elva and began a family. “God brought me to Liberal to meet my wife,” he said smilingly. He currently owns and operates truck # 942 and also owns # 941. Six years later, Norby joined Rubner at NCI with his own truck # 421. In conclusion Rubner shares, “ It is by the grace of Jesus Christ I am able to work at National Carriers and live in the United States of America.”
