And now its Dixie Diesel's Turn

I suppose its important to bring this in now. Long before there was HazzardAyre, long before there was the Hazzard Knytes, and long before much of this at all was a small 10 member group called the TeenAge Truckers Association, that grew into the United American Independent Truckers Association. Mirroring the now somewhat defunct Independent Truckers Association created by Mike Parkhurst who also built the magazine OverDrive. Perhaps if your a Smokey and the Bandit fan if you noticed after Big and Little Enos Burdette jostled the Bandit out of his hammock they walked by a truck with lucious seatcovers the name on the bumper of the truck said Overdrive, and you saw the shield of the ITA. In 1987 when the ITA, after struggling over the results of a nationwide trucker strike, was on life support, the rest of the Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Washington , Oregon and Northern California and Nevada members reformed as the UAITA.
We needed a voice. We appealed to every media resource in the region, none would take up the torch. So as everything else we did, we did it ourselves. 
By this time I done collided with all things Hazzard, and Dukes, but the Dukes lost some Octane kinda like when the Black Tilley the second got water in the tank courtesy of Roscoe. What would Cooter do? The Dukes had left Hazzard. It was this period of time that performance diesels started becoming popular, a swing through Saint George Utah in 1989 saw the sign on an old shop there , came home, did some rearranging of the handle and in 1990 the Dixie Diesel Shop opened. And in 1992 from a small radio station in Price Utah; Dixie Diesel Radio went on the air. Over time Dixie Diesel became a fever, and burned through everything in its path similar. In fact setting standards none could even get close to. In 1995 The UAITA bought in favor of Dixie Diesel , the OTR network the Interstate Trucker Network, which became over the Galaxy 5 sat, the Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio Network.
Now that HazzardAyre is breathing but still in its infancy, the need to develope alongside HazzardAyre, will be recreating, Dixie Diesel, in its own light, without disturbing what makes Dixie Diesel special. 
As such here in the Gazzette we'll be exploring this developement likewise exploring and reporting on the not so serious side of trucking.
