I remembered another thing about hauling pumpkins. We always started at first light in the morning. So, we arrived at the field as early as we could to get towards the beginning of the loading line. There were about 20 trucks hauling at that time. Our two trucks were the only ones operated by locals. The rest were Mexicans based out of Del Rio, Texas. One morning, I was dozing in the cab and both doors of my truck suddenly flew open. About 5 Mexicans jumped in and kinda pushed me to the middle of the seat. I thought I was in big trouble. We ran fairly large tandem trucks, one a Chevy conventional with a 427, the other, a Ford tilt cab with a 534 V8. On the long, level sections of highway 150 east of Morton, I could pass several of the Mexicans in their single axle, 6 cylinder powered C50's and C60's. So, I was getting much more tonnage hauled in a day then they were. When they jumped in my truck, I thought it was payback time for passing them all the time! Turned out, all they wanted to do was share their tequilla with me. At 4 o'clock in the morning!
