Arrangements by JENNINGS FUNERAL HOME, 3904 West Commercial Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale. at Home: with Ed Kalis Cross country truck drivers of those big "Eighteen Wheelers" are the most skillful and most courteous drivers on the road and many of us would profit by a few lessons from them. Just as small boys once wanted to be railroad engineers, most men today sort of itch to get their hands on a big truck and trailer for a few miles. After driving one of those big rigs a few miles, most ordinary drivers would be willing to give it back to one with the strength and skill to handle it.
