A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

I would like to take this time to wish everyone a very safe and Happy New Year!  It has been a great year for with “Slice of trucker life” and the freightliner group. The trip to Lowes nascar race in North Carolina was a real treat.  I look forward to the new year and what it brings.  God bless you all.

    As a boy, I grew up thinking my Uncle Dick was cooler than Johnny Cash, Jerry Reed and all of Lynyrd Skynyrd all wrapped in one. Now that I have grow… I know it’s true. I love you Uncle Dick, you are the coolest outlaw ever!
