A Highlight of the Truck Show

For Me

Was meeting Ron and Spencer

 

 

On Thursday when I walked the show truck lot for the first time, I was surprised to see the truck that I had photographed at the 2011 show. Inge (Highway News Editor) had chosen March 2012 to put this truck on the cover. What fun to show it to them.

 

 

Spencer modeled his Hoffman t-shirt behind the sleeper where there is a painting of the truck – the painting is on the cover of the March 2012 issue.

 

 

Spencer is too young to drive, but loves going to shows and helping to keep the truck polished.

 

 

I went back to the truck the next day to get more information about the men and the truck so Inge could do a followup in the next issue (May) which will soon be available to pick up in truck stops or locations where the Highway News is distributed.

Ron and Spencer are Christians – and neighbors – so they were delighted that the truck was featured in our literature.

 

 

This is what it looked like when it was a working truck for Hoffman Transportation, Channahon, Illinois.

 

 

Ron told me that he and a son did the custom woodwork in the sleeper and cab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a gorgeous Peterbilt. Look for the May issue of the Highway News for more details of this truck.
