King of the road King of the road 7/31/08 Colorado Springs Independent, CO Quote: Floyd Gessner doesn't work because he has to. He works because, after 55 years, he still likes driving big rigs. Simple as that. "Just drivin' up the road," he says. "My wife tells people, "He's just like an old train engineer. He just likes to listen to that truck a-purrin' there.'" At 76 and with more than 40 years at the same company, Floyd has no plans to retire. He speculates that he's driven between 4 and 5 million miles, in trips that have always begun and ended at Chief Petroleum Co.'s plant in Old Colorado City. To put that in perspective: Earth's circumference at the equator is 24,902 miles. Floyd has effectively driven around the world at least 180 times. http://www.csindy.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A28060 __________________ The Truckers Report Merchandise
