Hey Jumbo

Hey Jumbo

What made you stop driving logging trucks after 16 years and go OTR??

To be completely honest after 16 years I found myself doing a job that I wasnt having fun at. I worked for the nicest people you could want to work for. They treated us like family. They had 4 trucks altogether, All long hood Petes. On Febuary 1st of 08 I sat at their dining room table and told them that April 1st would be my last day. They offered me a couple dollars an hour raise and the next new truck that was being bought. For most guys that would have been enough to stay but the one thing I wanted they couldnt give me. I wanted to try something different. They understood completely. They held my job for 30 days in case I wanted to come back and I still stop by their house when I am home. And of course my old truck still has the little plaque on the dash that says "The Peterbilt custom built for Jumbo".

I enjoy the new challenges. I am in St.Paul right now waiting fo rthem to take down the storage tank I am bringing back to Milwaukee. It will be a most of the day process to get it on the truck but i have till 10 Friday morning to be in Milwaukee so I am not in a hurry.The overall demensions of the load when on the trailer will be 13'6" wide 15'3" tall and 100' long. Nice load.

That is one heck of a load considering what the roads are like in St. Paul, Between St. Paul and Milwaukee, and Milwaukee itself
