64 10-4 Magazine / August 2025 he’s a “tinkerer” and almost always has a project, in some state of completion or disassembly, going. Morgan would like to acknowledge those who have helped get him started, stood by him, and helped him through the years. Chief amongst them are his wife, Jolene, and two daughters, Kinsey and Sierra. Helping manage and run the ranch and haying when Morgan is on the road, his family provides stability, which is important when he is gone for long stretches of time. Along with his wife and kids, Morgan would like to thank his brother Bryson for helping him get started in trucking and standing by his side, learning with him. Morgan would also like to thank Tony Miller for opening the door for him all those years ago hauling logs. Last, but certainly not least, Morgan would like to thank the entire crew at CowTran, as they’re like family, and treat Morgan like family. Composed of drivers and ranchers themselves, CowTran is familiar with the complexities and complications that are associated with moving livestock. In small communities like Judith Gap, Montana, and the surrounding towns, close-knit communities are what keep the ranches, farms, and local businesses thriving. Morgan and the Warner family are great evidence of that, as neighbors all know one another, they help each other, support each other’s businesses, and look after each other, as well. Proof of this “neighborly support” comes from how 10-4 Magazine was introduced to Morgan. Ira Mitchell of Truck-N-Up (this company was featured in our July 2025 edition) learned to drive trucks from Morgan and introduced me to him. I had seen Morgan’s truck many times, but had never caught the name until I met Ira at Truck-N-Up. To that end, Morgan would like to thank Ira for making that connection, and 10-4 would like to thank Ira, as well. We at 10-4 Magazine would like to thank Morgan and Jolene and the Warner family for taking the time to get a photo shoot planned and arranged. It may be true that the small towns and backroads move at a slightly slower pace, but in the world of ranching and farming, as they say, make hay while the sun shines. Words that Morgan lives by, because this Montana cattle hauler moves at a faster pace and is always on the go. His truck may be green, but there’s definitely no moss growing underneath it! n
