It wasn't pretty what Tailgate did to the other truck magazines on the newsstand. It wasn't until I got my job at Primedia on Hot Rod Bikes with access to the dashboard (numbers) that I learned Tailgate went from zero-to-number two on the newsstand in 18 months, second only to Truckin'.

Just as a trivial fact: Truckin' has always been the monster with bigger numbers than all of the other truck magazines put together.
