Ever heard of Monfort of Colorado? Ever heard of the Monfort lane? Monfort was a carrier from the "old" days, meat hauler, fast trucks, Kenworths. Truck were so fast, the fast lane was nicknamed the "Monfort Lane" for years. Somewhere along the line, Monfort either sold out, folded up, or I'm not sure, but, Western Distributing was born and is somehow partnered up with Monfort's authority or management or owner. I don't have every little detail. But, dang, those trucks are purty!

Western has been around long before Monfort went away....Two entirerly different companies.
Monfort was a meat hauling outfit and Western Distribution originated as a beer hauler and has since branched out to haul other commodities.
This is from their website:
"As the original Coors distributor, Western was off to a great start. Leadership of the company was passed down through the family and with each generation the company grew. Presently, Vieri Gaines, Guidos grandson, is the President and Chief Executive Officer. Back in 1977, V Gaines, CEO, decided that he wanted control of the delivery of his liquor, wine, and beer which he ordered and wholesaled.
He purchased 6 brand new Peterbilts of the prettiest blue, highest horsepower, and the with the most driver luxuries. These were the best of the best along with the trailers he bought to match the trucks. Next he hired 6 of the best drivers, team and solo. He paid them not by the mile but by a weekly salary. Their job was to pick up the orders and bring them back to the warehouse as quickly as possible. He maintained a low inventory to keep his costs down. Then one day V decided to load some beans on an outbound truck that usually went out empty and was amazed that the truck actually became a profit center versus a cost center. From there Gaines grew the business by starting to haul meat, beer, and produce out of town and haul his liquor back into town." -
