32 10-4 Magazine / January 2026 (including Georgia and Cash) for their time and dedication to making J&J Handy Trucking the business it is today. Shawn also wants to thank Schmidt Construction Company and Pete Lien & Sons, Inc. for their decades of loyalty and business. Noel Franco and Justin Renholm also deserve thanks for their involvement in building this Kenworth and matching Hanson end dump, along with John, Ernie and Dillon and their crew at MHC in Pueblo for their support and service (not just for the truck here but for the entire fleet), and Dirks Truck & Equipment Repair for the steadfast service on mechanical breakdowns. I’d like to extend a thank you to Shawn for his time in getting the truck ready. Having watched J&J Handy grow under his tenure, I know it’s a full-time position that leaves little time for much else. 10-4 Magazine would like to thank you, Shawn, for your time in getting the truck ready to go, and we would also like to thank the Schmidt Construction Company for granting us access to their pit on a weekend for the photo shoot! Commitment to excellence. Before everything, succeeding in this industry, standing out, building your name, your company, and your reputation always requires that commitment to excellence. Eleven years ago, featuring his 2006 Peterbilt and East frameless end dump, Shawn demonstrated that excellence. And now, over a decade later, that commitment hasn’t faded – in fact, it has grown. There’s only one question left unanswered: did the ring cost as much as the chrome, Brittney? n
