That was my Guess after I posted.
I drove for Albrecht for awhile and Drove that Big Pete which was sorta a Light Purple with the Big Cat and the Brass Locomotive Airhorn.
You remember that Truck? :P
Now THAT was a Truck.
I hauled those Big Cherry Logs down to Illinois near the quad cities.

If you mean the pete with the stand up bunk that is the only one he has left, I don't know who drives it though. Do you remember Jimmy joe? He works with us now.

Name doesn't ring any bells.
Those Cherry Logs were worth a Fortune-Once in Illinois they were shipped through the Waterways to Japan so they could ship them back as Finished Cherry Wood :roll:
I'm amazed he got rid of his Log Trucks though-Always thought Mike was a Bit Nuts. :P
I see your trucks up in these parts once in awhile.
Last load I hauled for Mike was DH'ing to International Falls and Picking up Fibre Board which must have been 50' High :P
Seemed like it anyway.

We have a couple jobs on the Old Beechwood Road west of town. And I haul logs down for Calumet and South Range 1 or 2 times a week.

That Purple Pete with the Brass Loco. Horn was too funny-You know how quiet Laona is around 2am and I was at Albrechts Garage parking for the Night and I had just switched over to this Truck and When I was getting out of the Truck I saw all this Brass just inside the Cab on the Drivers Side and It had a Brass Switch. I'm thinking "Wonder what this is"? :P
So I Slid the Switch over and Man I'm telling you I almost fell off the Running Boards lmao.
Hey-If you're runnin' up near Iron Mountain or Picking up at Sagola L/P Mill(I live west of Sagola in the Middle of the Bush) give me a buzz and we'll have coffee at the Mini-mart.
