Trucking A Young Boy’s Dream. Driving a tractor-trailer for a living for most is a job but for some a dream. A young boy worked in his grandfathers garage greasing rigs and changing tires. Traveling up and down the highways in Pennsylvania in his pap’s cabover, he fell in love with trucking! He would go onto learn many things from that old man. Respect, skills and safety would top the list. Howard “Jute” Heffner was his that old mans name and he was more than a grandfather. He thought this young man all he could and made such an impact in his life that most of that young boy knowledge would be credited to Jute. When he was 15 years old his grandfather would teach him how to shift a pick-up truck. The shifter was on the steering column. It was called a three speed and its nickname was “three speed on the tree”! He would go on to teach him how to shift them semi trucks too.
Jutes Death and Memory
Howard would pass-on when that young boy became a man leaving a great impact in his life. The young boy had become a man and Jute was no longer there to guide him. He would now have to make his name in the trucking world as his grandfather had done. The young man would go on to drive tractor-trailer for a living, traveling the interstates throughout the lower 48 states and Canada. He would work in the casket and reefer industry learning, now by experience. Never forgetting that old man that had given everything to make sure that he would become a man fit to be called Jutes grandson.
The Trucking Industry
Trucking A Young Boy’s Dream. If your dream is to be a trucker, you will be great. Trucking is a lifestyle and those that dream of it, are always great at it. For this young boy, a dream fulfilled. He would go on to drive a tractor-trailer for many years and then work with other truck drivers in an office. He would then go on to work in the industry in many aspects helping and promoting truckers in a positive manor. A dream completed. If Jute could have seen it all happen, this young mans dream would have had a bonus.
