Larry and Muggsy: an OTR trucker and his Macaw

I was barreling up 287 today and came up on a truck I haven’t seen in a few years, I hollered at Larry and he said he would be fueling in Amarillo. I buzzed on up here and grabbed a haircut and got done just in time to catch him in the fuel pumps.
Larry Leckrone is an OTR truck driver that travels all over North America. Him and his 37 year old Macaw, Muggsy, cross countless miles in his 1962 Kenworth C523.

It was an honor to work with Mr. Larry.

I had the pleasure meeting Larry and Muggsy last night when his KW needed some work done in Kalamazoo, MI. The bird was quite an attraction in the shop!

Now theres a real living legend!

[@kasper_666]

One of the most memorable moments I’ve had working on big rigs is meeting these two! I have a couple pictures of muggsy sitting in the passenger window sill while me and Larry were chatting!

He really is a legend.
Heavy hauler flat bed running the whole show, him and his bird.
He's the Jonny Cash wrote about when he sand 'Ive been everywhere man.'

Старый пират👍🏻💪🏼

I love how he strategically moves his face so Mugsy doesn't nip him, as parrots are wont to do when their humans aren't paying enough attention to them :D

I was expecting a bird to sound off like a busy CB radio including the occasional cussing thrown in for good measure
