Mover Tapestries
Description: Hunter S. Thompson quote: Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that my instincts were right. I shared a vagrant optimism that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles — a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other — that kept me going.
Description: Founded in 1959, Clarke Bros. Heavy Transport started out as movers of houses and other structures, eventually expanding into heavy equipment and other oversized, overweight loads. By the mid-seventies, they had added a massive fleet of 200 Autocar dump trucks and began taking on earth moving contracts where tons of material needed to be relocated in a short amount of time. These jobs ranged from large construction site digs to mining operations, usually related to opening or closing a mine.
