At the Guilty by Association Truck Show this past September, I had the opportunity to meet Rick Bestwick, co-owner of the Mel-Rick Inc. business, incorporated by himself and his wife, Melody, in the early 1980s. In the video above, find a series of looks at the four tractors, and two step deck trailers, he hauled to GBATS from his native Sabetha, Kan., where the 10-truck fleet today hauls product in hoppers serving the pet-food industry, in addition to occasional step deck freight.
The older units were no less impressive for it all.
