Overdrive's new Show Us
Your Ink gallery has drawn
tattoo photos that show the
diversity of truckers'
creative testimonials to
loved ones, faith,
patriotism and, of
course, trucking.
"I am not led, I lead."
That's the translation from Latin
of Rob Ahlers' tattoo,
a former officer
in the Army National Guard.
He's now an owner-operator with
MSR Transport Services, a
company he started with
two other veterans.
Andrew Pope was looking
for a tattoo to commemorate
the 30-plus years of trucking
by his father, who still drives.
"One day I saw this emblem
on the back of a tractor-trail-
er," he says. "It was a simple
statement, and it hit the nail
on the head."
Owner-operator Lori Cohen, who drives team with her husband, has her family tree (minus
one grandchild's name, which she plans to add soon) tattooed on her leg.
