We work a lot, but we still try to spend as much time as we
can as a family; weekends are an important part of that bonding experience.
A couple of weekends ago…
Memorial Day weekend was crazier and busier than normal, and
in all reality this story has nothing to do with hauling freight, but it’s too
good not to share.
Picture this…
- The Fendell family (aka BICO Transportation)
- Memorial Day weekend
- Campground
- Lots of people
- 4-wheelers
- Drunk people
Now…
Whatever story that you have concocted in your head, toss it
out and pull up a chair because this is a good one.
As you may know, Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial
start of summer, and is also known as the first camping weekend of the year.
Throughout the entire country, people pack up and go camping. Every campsite is
booked and filled, and mostly everyone is having a good time.
The Fendell’s were at a campground just like that.
The camping area was buzzing with lots of people setting up
tents and RV’s, playing games, telling stories, laughing, eating, and drinking.
The weekend had just started, and at 1:00pm the smell of
food in the air was still deliciously strong. This was about the time that the
Fendell’s were approached to solve a problem.
The issue?
There was a drunk guy passed out in the woods.
Josh automatically switched from “campground Josh” to “BICOTransportation Josh” to figure out how he was going to transport the drunk guy
from “point A” to “point B”. The guy wasn’t waking up, and Josh wasn’t about to
carry him (even though Josh may or may not have suggested that Shannon carry
the guy).
Josh has a 4-wheeler with a dump bed…problem solved…
- A little drive into the woods
- Place the passed out person in the bed of the 4-wheeler
- A little drive out of the woods and to the guy’s campsite
- Grab the guy’s sleeping bag and roll it out
- Dump drunken guy onto the sleeping bag, where he sleeps peacefully
Josh is a hero, and once again BICO Transportation has proven
that it can solve any hauling issues.
But what happened after that?
Nothing…the Fendell family went back to what they were doing
before they had to rescue a drunk guy from himself.
OR…
Maybe…just maybe…
Josh named his 4-wheeler “Silver”, and went back to the
house and cut a mask out of one of Shannon’s dresses, and started calling
himself the “Modern Lone Ranger”.
Except…
Forget that you read that part, because if you see the
masked man riding his trusty machine down a mountain side with survivors on the
back of it…you’re not supposed to know that it’s really Josh Fendell under the
mask.
So act surprised and always ask…
“Who was that masked man?”
In reality…
Call BICO Transportation for all of your hauling and
transportation needs.
