10-4 Magazine December 2021

A couple years ago, while running I-70 to Denver, CO with a water truck in tow, Weston was able to meet up with a few of his friends on the road. One of his buddies was running I-80 across and down to Denver, and another was coming into the same area, all within 20 minutes of each other. So, they all met up at a The restoration process took about a year, having dropped it off in early February of 2018 and then picking it up in December of 2018. Although it took a while, it was a pretty straightforward process, without any snags. The truck pulls 2020 Smithco doubles, and you will mostly see Weston hauling aggregate locally, but occasionally you will see him hauling heavy equipment, too. The truck sports a retro-looking 14-inch Valley Chrome bumper and a rear light bar, also from Valley Chrome, an RLK Services visor and breather lights, 6-inch miter cut Dynaflex stacks, and plenty of other little extras to make this truck what you see today. Thanks go out to Copper at Hub City Chrome in Chiloquin, OR for the custom parts for not only this truck, but other trucks in the McAllister fleet, as well. The first truck show Weston ever attended was the 1999 Great Salt Lake Truck Show, and it was the same show in 2016 that he first brought a rig to enter. Over the years, we reflect on things that have happened and memories that have been made. Weston is no different, with the recollection of riding with his dad as often as he could, but today, since he has been driving, it is actually a pretty rare occurrence that he and Matt get to run together. Even still, the times that they do is always a cool experience. Much like the old hands in the industry, the younger generation can have a surprise “bud meeting” just the same, and Weston shared one of these stories with me. 10-4 Magazine / December 2021 69
