"Ever had a truck driver cook for you?"
The question in the quote here came my way from an owner-operator I've been meaning to introduce more formally to Overdrive readers.
Most of you first encountered him in February, from the frigid scene of truck stop on I-80 in Wyoming. Thomas Remington organized a crew of drivers marooned there after high winds and more winter weather closed the road. With the cooking equipment he carries in his Volvo VNL740, he and the other haulers prepared a series of feasts for the ages.

What you'll see in the video above are scenes from June 5, the day Decker Truck Line-leased, Iowa-based Remington's flatbed, fully loaded with pieces of a car wash installation bound for the Miami, Florida, area, stopped near my home base of Nashville.
