The greatest OTR ever!!!! Met him when I 1st started trucking I was driving a cabover freightliner and he told me stick with it boy theres money to make . After 34 years I'm back to my 1981 cabover and at the end of my career but if it wasn't for Shaker I wouldn't have my wife of 27 years and my beautiful grandbabies. RIP brother I'll always love you run hard and 3 log books ♥

Southern Shaker, made me the driver I am today. I will always be grateful that he befriended me back in the day. Took me under his wing , when ever we had the chance to run together. Taught me how to be the best front door, any man could ask for. Shaker, you will always be in heart and mind. Truck on , both sticks against the dash. RIP Shaker!!!
Love, Swamprabbitt.
