    See, the cattlemen keeps up to date on important things. Drivers wage rates, fuel prices, good food places, road conditions, and spirits availability.

    Uncle started me out in 72 GMC 5 ton with stock racks on dirt roads— then On Adak I was the only one in the division for a while that knew anything about trucks so I got to be the designated bomb delivery boy in a Ford L9000

    I believe it's best to start the hard way, then you appreciate it more when you get the easy way but know the hard way.:cool:

    Ha.. U.S. Army, March 1958. Basic training at Ft. Chaffee AR. The sergeant he ask, anybody here know how to drive a deuce and a half ? We need to move some dirt. He goes on to say that is the nomenclature for the army truck over there, OD in color etc.
    I can drive anything on wheels and some crawlers. Here sarge, waving hand before others jump me and I have dig, not drive...
    Well, he apologizes. We do not have a deuce and a half, but we have 6 good wheelbarrows..... (Mexican draglines)
    I signed on for 3 years to get a "good deal" per my recruiter. 3rd day in I realized I had made a BIG mistake.
