The Next Chapter in My Career
Well, about a year and nine months ago I got a job running a dump truck for these guys. I did that until a year ago and then they put me in a set of belly dump doubles (ten-axle set). I also ran their side dump trains and truck and pup sets on and off, kind of doing whatever they'd let me do on the dirt side. However, I was always looking forward to being able to switch over to the flatbed division and getting a nice truck to cruise down the interstate with. Well, I'm just about to turn twenty-one, so they're ready for me to go over-the-road. To get me a bit of experience loading a flatbed, they've let me switch over about a month early and I've been making overnight trips to the other end of the state for two weeks now. It's been a whole lot of fun! I've been buying a bunch of chrome for the interior of the truck lately, I'll probably put up a picture once I get that where I want it. The outside is done other than getting a set of hubcaps for the trailer wheels and chopping the stacks flat, so I can mount my flappers on. Haha.

Thanks guys! I have known I wanted to drive truck ever since I knew what one was and I've never even considered other jobs. I closed a lot of doors, so it's a good thing I seem to enjoy truckin', haha. The Pete is a good lookin' truck, but it's been through a few drivers and is a bit beat up... not a show worthy truck really. However, if everything goes according to plan, the Reo will be at Salt Lake in August. If it doesn't make the Salt Lake show, I plan to have both my Reo and my pick-up at a show in Salina in September.
