Its A Tough Job But Some Dog Has To Do It

FTLComm - Tisdale - march 28, 2001

For an efficient well managed operation there needs to be a supervisor, someone who can focus on getting the job done and that's the task of White Lightning Express's bossdog. Mike the driver and owner of White Lightning Express from Aberdeen explained that the dog liked to ride in the truck so he has just become a part of the business and goes on every trip, be that to Tisdale or Kamloops. Mike was delivering some new plastic tanks to

John Bob Farm Equipment Tuesday afternoon and over seeing the job was this impressive well mannered Golden Labrador Retriever. Patiently observing the unloading proccess and waiting to once more get out on the road and see the sights. Though we can kid around about him being in charge, in his mind that is the case. He is an enormously confident animal and feels as much a part of what is going on as anyone else. Just being Mike's companion on long trips is a full time task one which he likes doing and from the smile on Mike's face it is clear that the job is being done perfectly. Dogs are extremely intelligent and they cut through all the confusion that humans seem

to bring into their lives. Dogs like to keep things simple. They like someone or some thing and they stick to it. As for the tanks well, these are a range of truck and storage tanks. The small hopper tank is designed for seed mixing and treating offering a farmer a safe and simple means to store seed as the planting process is underway. As for Mike and his administrative assistant they are back to Aberdeen for another load to another desitination. If you need to get in touch with Mike his phone number is 306 227 8414. This light truck unit can handle up to 18,000 pounds.
