It’s been a good trip so far, but we haven’t finished yet! The last stop here is to see the home of Rapid Robert’s convenience stores. Well, the current home of Rapid Robert’s. The original home office of Rapid Robert’s was located in Crane Missouri in the back of the first Rapid Robert’s store. This store opened on October 22, 1983. It was the home office until 1998. During this time period the company grew to 19 stores. In 1998, the corporate offices were moved to Sunshine Corners here in Springfield Missouri and are still located here today. The founder is still the President and CEO. His name is Rob Wilson. Rob is short for Robert, hence the name Rapid Robert’s. Rob grew up in southwest Missouri and graduated from Southwest Missouri State University with his Bachelor of Science in business management. But that isn’t where his roots business come from. His roots actually go back 3 generations to his grandfather R.V. “Stormy” Wilson. Incidentally his roots to Conoco go back to Storm Wilson too. R.V. Stormy Wilson owned and operated “Wilson’s Conoco” starting back in 1928. This little station was in the Missouri Arkansas border town of Blue Eye MO. During this time period, most gas station owners only had 1 station that they ran themselves. Old Stormy Wilson passed on the tradition of owning a gas station to his son, Bob “Blackie” Wilson. But Blackie wanted more than just 1 station so in 1962 Blackie bought Stone County Oil Company. Stone County Oil was a gasoline distributorship that was located in Crane Missouri. Stone County Oil distributed gasoline and bulk oil to service stations and other commercial accounts under the Conoco brand. Rob Wilson continued the family tradition of being a Conoco branded marketer. Today Conoco/Phillips. Conoco/Phillips branded fuel is sold at 29 of the 33 Rapid Robert’s locations today. Most of these locations are in the Ozarks with only 1 store outside the state of Missouri in Arkansas. Rapid Robert’s runs some very nice company trucks and I’ll talk about one after the product review. Rapid Robert’s raises the bar when it comes to company trucks. The company lets the driver’s spec out the trucks and doesn’t cheap out. They do keep the customization minimal, just enough to make it stand out but remain clean and simple. One of their latest trucks is a 2021 Peterbilt 389 full emissions truck hauling a 9,500-gallon four compartment Polar fuel tanker showing off the new graphics. Driver Donnie Gardner specced out this truck to have a nice retro look. Rapid Robert’s kept with the solid red color but let Donnie add many custom touches.

As the Kenworth model line was expanded, the W900 became its flagship conventional, with its cab structure used across other model families; the model line competed against a wide variety of model lines through its production. In 1967, the W900 underwent its first major change and was renamed the W900A. To accommodate larger diesel engines, the hood was widened several inches to further increase radiator size. For 1972, the doors of the W900 were changed, with the model adapting larger windows, narrower vent windows; for ease of use, the door handles were re-positioned to the bottom of the doors and changed from a lever-style to a pull-style configuration. In 1973, the Kenworth badging was changed, with a redesigned grille emblem and hood badging. In 1974, a 60-inch fl ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYXwiKZTpCw
