Funeral for a friend, 200 + trucks coming

[mwilson]

A local trucker / contractor passed away a couple months ago. A good friend and a decent man to work for.

They have organized a procession from his garage to the burial site 60 miles away.
200 or more trucks slated to join in. We have brought two with us..

Add pictures as I get them...

Very nice Tribute Mike.

I will ride in the bunk for awhile so my grandson can get shotgun..

There are supposed to be several drones rolling footage, should be quite a sight...

You may need that plastic as you age, of course I wouldn't know what that means

I'd be too tempted to take a nap riding back there.

Just his trucks....21 tractors

I don’t if we hit 200 or not, but there are a lot of trucks..We are rough estimating at between 3 and 4 miles worth...

Still waiting for the drone footage..

This was taken in a rear view mirror. We are close to the Haynesville woods, it’s just up the road..

That’s so sad and happy at the same time.
Farewell drivah.
I see Aussie style catchers are popular.
