State Champion

What goes around,..comes around. My friend, Rick
Pledger, is on familiar ground again. Rick won '1st Place'
at the American Trucking Association State Championship
Driving Rodeo yesterday in College Station, Texas. The
competition is among drivers from various companies and
the competitors come from different regions of Texas. Rick
captured first place at the North Texas Regional in Fort Worth
last month to qualify for the State competition. Drivers were
submitted to a battery of written tests on Friday and then
the actual driving course on Saturday. The results were announced
at a banquet Saturday evening. Rick was the top performer in
the sleeper class, just as he was in 2001 when he went on to
win the National Championship. This years Nationals will be held
in Columbus, Ohio later this summer. I am not a betting
man,.. but when Seabiscuit is running against plow horses,.. it
is an easy decision.. Bring Home the Gold, Rick !!!!
