Trucking The Back 48 ( Part 2 )

My last post had to do with Al Hoots a Hitchhiker I picked up at a rest area in Alabama.  I'm being loaded right now  with a load of turkey from Cargill fixing to head to Shelbyville, In.  Al loved turkey of course.  I hated to see Al go, after all how many trucker out here have an Owl traveling with them.    You might be thinking that me coming along did a lot for Al Hoots but really it seems to me to be the other way around.  Sometimes the stress out here involved in the Trucking Industry is hard to deal with.  It's very easy to be consumed with thoughts  of money lost, time lost, equipment failure, or just getting screwed in general.  Which at the time I came upon Al was at a high level.
So I'm grateful that Al Hoots took my mind off of getting screwed and onto if he makes it or not.  I have his or hers, (hoot knows), picture which if you see the pic in my last post is a very beautiful Owl. 

While I'm on the stress and beautiful things subject my daughter, Stephanie, is in the hospital waiting hopefully for baby Mason to arrive.  This is her third try at being a mother.  Just want Mason to know his granddad is out here on the road praying for him and his mother.  I know everything will be fine soon it's just really hard waiting and being away from home.
So until my next post which will be about being a grand father here's a pic of a truck I passed the other day with a strange sign or placard on the back if you can read it in the pic. (Click on pic to enlarge)
