We need your help again this year to support the Special
Olympics.  Last year, we collected $1650 to be the lead truck in
the St. Louis Area World's Largest Truck Convoy.  We beat
donations from UPS, SuperValu and Waste Management, three
big supporters of the event.  This year, I want to put that $1650
to shame.  Please visit our "Project Lead Truck" page to help
and donate.

The 1st Unit truck is safely back in St. Louis and on display at
the Museum of Transportation.  We are posting a number of
pictures of the truck in its current condition.  We have great plans
for this truck and will be starting on it soon.   

We've been very very busy on a number of projects this year.  
Unfortunately, the hot and miserable weather has kept us from
doing much with the 1st Unit truck.   As things cool off, we should
get underway.

Thank you as always for all of the e-mails.  Please do not forget
our effort to raise donations this year once again for the Special
Olympics.  Any donation is greatly appreciated by the athletes.  
We hope to top last year's effort.

spending it keeping that old Peterbilt running, he could step
up to a nice Mack someday!

The Peterbilt had to be pushed by the Duck for around 60 miles in and out of some bad
storms on I-55.  It was really good to meet Kris.  He's a great guy!
