Welcome to my highway for a Monday. Some really sweaty things happened over the weekend at several meetings held in and around the Mountain West region at least for and about our organizations. First for the main financial body of the Hazzard County Knytes , the secondary parent group of our group, is going to shift gears, grind the clutch and get into its new life. As some of you may or may not know. When the Hazzard County Knytes was formed it was by the financial grace of my parents who owned and ran what was named Eagle Star Farmz of West-Point(Hazzard) Idaho. In 1998 bringing Eagle Star and our truck service company together we formed Dixie Eagle Trucking. However most thought the name Dixie was a name of a woman rather than the name of things of the deep south. That being that in 2002 the home sponsor of our groups was renamed Southern Eagle Trucking. And the LTL(Less, Than Truck Load) division was named Southern Eagle XPRESS or SEX yes I know sounds kinky but it worked. Still does. With that in your brain let me drain here. Over the weekend of last the officers of The Montgomery Trust, the financial board of Southern Eagle Trucking/Southern Eagle XPRESS, and the membership board of the Hazzard County Knytes met in Pocatello of all places wish KPIF manager Brian had been there, any mile the decision is to rework across the entire operation , everything under both Southern Eagle Trucking as main parent company and the co-parent Southern Eagle XPRESS, which will be the name what has been Dixie Towing will run as for the next 3 years. Up to this point the concept hazz been to rename the tow division as BlackSheep Towing in honor of the USMC combat squadron created by Maj(Col, Boyington) and still flies today. Which is part of the problem. To name our towing division BlackSheep Towing means that permission, needs to be gained from the USMC, The D-O-D and the still operational fighter squadron. All of which can take up to 36 months. With a Presidential race underway now is not the time to do that, so we are holding the rename until that can be done. The reason that a rename needs to be done at all is that ; A there is two different firms in America running as Dixie Towing. One is on the banks of the old Miss, as a tugboat company and another in Alabama. B; here in Eastern Idaho Dixie Towing hazz been shot so many times in the foot that before we shoot ourselves in the head a rework was called for. That being that again repeating Dixie Towing will run for the next 3 years as Southern Eagle XPRESS in essence without S.E.X. nothing gets done. Okay then that said te membership council of the Hazzard County Knyteshave decided to rework the Rode Eaglez Association into being The Dixie Truckers Association. Just a bunch of folks who love tricked out and classic big trucks, including of course Tow Trucks. In America there is only one organization that caters to kustom commercial trucks. The, North American Show Truck Association. Now if one is watching TV any now days all these hot trucks being churned out on Trick My Truck on CMT, knows that these owners are going to want to get together to show off these classic kustom long haulers, what better outfit to gather them together than the Hazzard County Knytes as the Dxie Truckers Association. In essence a hot rod structured group for those who love and enjoy big rig trucks. Finally today I begin work on building a TV show on the local cable access channel in Pocatello/Chubbuck Idaho originally for the BlackSheep Vintage Aviation Association sibling of the Hazzard County Knytes. However with the weather as it is can't fly much and with things for our group as it is I'm going in to build the first news and trucking lifestyle TV show of and about well, Trucking. Until our next coffee stop all the good numbers to you.
