“Fun and Games All done for Now”

Hello everyone, I hope everyone has had a safe and profitable week, as dad would say. I can tell you from my stand point that I’m glad fun and games for dad is all done for now! He might have a lot of fun doing these events but for me it’s not so fun! I am always some place that I really dont want to be, I’d rather stay on the truck and just chill, or bark at passersby as dad is fueling. To me that is great fun. Now that is worth all the shows put together. This time wasn’t to bad I got to spend time with Jessica, Erin, and the grand son Dalton. He is 12 years old so he still has a lot of energy that is fun for me. Dad even got to see his oldest daughter Janee” which he hasn’t seen for about 10 years. Dad says he did have a real good time at the cmc with Kevin Rutherford and learned a lot from the guest speakers, on wheel alignments and negotiations. However I can tell he is ready just to get back to work! I have seen some of the pictures that he is posting and they look great! I really like this new truck, I can spot it right off from across the parking lot. As much talking as he has been doing about all the different  products I sure he will let all of you know what he thinks about those as well. Until the next truck stop all of you be safe!  – Spencer and Dad
