5/4/2006 the one of a kind tire was delivered to Yellow Transportation Co. in Grand Rapids, MI for shipment to Coker Tire Co. in Tennessee. The "Mayton-Sigler Crate Co." built a special crate just for this precious tire. It is now on its way.

We have a person willing to have the original Futurliner tire re-produced at his expense. He is working with Coker Tire to make this happen. He will donate the tires for our Futurliner #10. We appreciate this as in the past we could not have it done because of the high cost. Our part in the project is to get the original tire to Coker Tire.

The crated tire is ready to ship to Tennessee.

Yellow Freight cut us a really good deal on shipping and we thank them for that.
