Iron

I found this awesome ride in Arizona last week… I’m so sorry I didn’t get over to talk to the owner, I was feeling crappy and not worth my salt, but he did pose for me before backing in and I thank you!!

I’ve saw this ’55 Kenworth a few times, but luckily on my way home I caught him on the fuel island in Moriarty NM and got to talk with him a bit. The fella that owns this truck runs all over with it, and although he said he gets more attention from the DOT than new trucks, passes with no problems. Sadly, this truck is put together better than most of the new trucks out on the road today! I wish there was more iron like this out on the road!

I am a prisoner of the highway, farmer and lover of Mother Nature, the moon and stars, my long and low, flat-top Peterbilt, chickens, cats, dogs, horses, cooking, photography, tattoos, tea pots and vintage barnifacts…among other things. I’m also a very, happily married, third-generation truck driver. My career choice is both demanding and rewarding, just like most things in life that are truly good.
