    I'm from up in the Emerald Triangle. I lived in Santa Rosa for almost 10 years, right around the corner from Dennis Floyd & the Medeiros dairy although I don't know any of them. I drove for Expressway for a while & know one of their o/o's that used to pull for Medeiros. I'm currently leased to Sprinter, pulling a curtain van,up & down 101 a lot. If you've been around for a while you might recognize some of the trucks in my album on here.

    When I win the lottery I'm gonna build a gorgeous 379 like yours & just haul lumber til I'm broke LOL!

    I live about 2 miles from Expressway's old yard on Corona Road and worked at Peterbilt in Windsor from about 1999-2005. I remember we sold several new trucks to Expressway. I think they had one of the first 387's in Sonoma County. I know all the Medeiros'. Just saw George, Jimmy and Jerry last week. Anyway, its a small world. I couldnt find your album to look at your truck pics.
