[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow2, post: 1550823, member: 32644"] Those two hay haulers I mentioned were a couple of great guys. Kenneth hauled for years. He'd always bring 50lb bags of oranges. Bags of pecans. He'd pull on the scale at the elevator to weigh and my Dad would stick rocks in between a few bales to make the load heavier. Kenneth would just laugh. When my first son was born you'd a thought he was Kenneth's grandson. He made a trip up with a little pair of wranglers, a pearl snap shirt, hat, vest, boots and a belt with my son's name on it. Not at our place, but somewhere he was loading, he slipped and fell off the front of the trailer down onto the decking between the tractor and trailer. He was hurt pretty bad and never made another trip back for alfalfa. Richard Florida was the other guy. His last truck was a lavender Peterbilt. The frame was painted to match. It had lots of bells and whistles. I've seen him leave the field, loaded, and the front end of his truck come up off the ground and twist. Just a little heavy. He knew when the ports of entry were open and when they weren't. He'd show up, park his truck at my place, go in take a shower and go to sleep. We'd load him about 6pm and he'd head out just before dark. Richard had a fatal heart attack in an alfalfa field down around Larned, Ks. His next trip back, he was bringing his wife & kids and picking out a couple of steers for his kids to show in 4-H. Guess that was around 2003. I can't find his obit. [/QUOTE]
