Joe Davis with ABF Freight System is hanging with the marshals museum artifacts. They’re gonna make a run to Fort Smith and on to temporary Arkansas storage until we git us place down on the river.

All day I been craving me a couple of hours of Smokey and the Bandit. I been hummin this tune:

Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin’
Ah we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m eastbound, just watch old Dilla run!

Dilla Davis is a bodacious balladeer in his own right. Sumpthin tells me Fort Smith will git to read the chronicles of this adventure.

The twist in the tale is that, unlike Burt Reynolds, Dilla and ABF will have em some gum ball machines ESCORTING them across state lines. It’s a grand tradition. In transit, these artifacts don’t leave line of site of some a them U.S. Marshals boys and girls.

Bring it home, Dilla!
