named for the Modoc brothers trucking of the 1920's
they drove the highways and byways of rural Indiana and Illinois,
just as fast as they could get their trucks to go.
Engines screaming horns honking as they roared on by in a cloud of dust.
We were modocing down the street. This spelling, without the "k" is due to the origin being the Modoc Indians of California. During their war with U.S. Army troops the moved from place to place after firing shots. The fifty indians had the troops convinced there were 150 shooting at them.
