Finally have something to brag about

I was pulling a 38 foot Montana up the Rockies out of Ft. Nelson BC. On a long straight uphill stretch, I came up on two fivers going slower so I went around them both in one shot. Both were Ford 6.0s pulling similar sized Titaniums. I thought nothing about it as, being used to the road, I travel faster than others on it. When I got to the top at Stone Mountain, I stopped and got out to take a break. After some time, the two rigs I passed stopped behind me. The driver of the front rig, a beautiful King Ranch, got out and looked mad. I am thinking, did I throw a rock or something. He went right to the trailer I was towing and looked at the weight tag. He then said, "I didn't pay 50 thousand for a truck to be beaten by a $%#@ Dodge!" He then got back into his truck and drove away. Of course, I didn't tell him my EZ might have helped a bit. To make matters worse, I passed them both again latter on that day.
