For your ammusement I’ve got my share of crevasses, pock marks, and wrinkles in my face and forehead from black ice, white outs, blown tires, dumb drivers, shifting loads and the like, when I had enough I changed vocations from hauling them to loading them. I remember one time in particular on a cold, darn cold morning, when we had to load up four flats and a dry van with salt and sand equipment. Not quite dark in the AM. the sun painted the high clouds a blood red. All the trucks were lined up but one, and they all were pretty well lit up and looking fine. Our attention was directed to a jet black 359 with “Ski- King” gold leafed on the back of the high rise sleeper. If this happens to be any of you reading this then well I’m sorry. But I would have given my eye teeth and my left baby maker to drive that Pete though. Sun glassed he was, with a bald head wearing a Harley skull cap, didn’t know all he had on was cut-off bib overhauls and flip flops until the door swung open.

We got him down and yes he was really embarrassed, but he helped us all do our jobs and was there until the last truck was loaded. I got no complaints but iit was a darn good show.
