grubstake Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Bunk, they were the biggest trucking company in the USA at the time, they had 400 company drivers and 5000 lease drivers, Iworked for a lease owner, I was only a company driver for a year. I didn't like there milage pay, So I went lease, made 3 times as much because I got 25% of the gross to the truck. I ran with lots of guys. and the name doe not ring a bell.

I was all over that damned placeNow your taking me back to the good ol days. Spent my tour at Nha Trang with the 14 Air Commando Wing with the Air Force. I believe Camp McDermot was the army base, along with the 8th Field Hospital, and 201st Aviation. Nha Trang was charlies R&R center so other than a rocket attack in 68 on the hospital, it was fairly easy duty.h20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch john Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Gary... thanks for sharing. The last time I saw Dorthy was at the last Federation sponsered hunt at Laughlin where you "beeped" seveal silver rounds and some other token-finds with as I remember the Lobo Super Traq with the larger coil. Gosh, that was nearlyten years ago... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
