Drivers Jason Johnson and William Carlos “L.A. Rookie” Weekley (pictured) will be joining representatives of the Truck It Smart load matching service at their booth in Las Vegas at the Great West Truck Show, beginning Thursday. Not only have both drivers proven they can hang hauling loads in the Australian Outback and in the Himalayas, among other locales on Discovery Channel’s competitive “World’s Toughest Trucker” series, but they also have no problem piloting air boats, as evidenced by the following vid shot by the Truck It Smart folks in Haines City, Fla.

Meet them at the TruckItSmart.com booth at Great West.
