What does Duncan’s future hold?

Duncan is only about 6 pounds right now. Lovett believes that as a male, he could potentially grow to be over five feet tall, but because he’s been neutered, he’s unlikely to reach a muscular 200 pounds like a wild red kangaroo.

Lovett said that after Duncan gets too large to ride, he’ll spend his days outside with the family dogs on his 3.5 acres.

How did Duncan become Kenny’s co-pilot?

Lovett admitted that, before adopting Duncan, he rarely brought pets on the road with him. Nonetheless, he and his wife have always loved exotic animals.

Lovett stated that one day he just thought, “I want a kangaroo,” and then contacted a breeder who connected him with Duncan in August 2022.

How do people react to seeing a kangaroo at the truck stop?

According to Lovett, the public’s reaction to Duncan is a mix of disbelief and excitement.

Despite the astonishment of encountering such an exotic animal, he claims that most people he meets on the road recognize Duncan as a ‘roo rather than a more familiar American animal such as a deer.

Duncan, according to Lovett, has become a popular attraction at his frequent customer’s facility when he picks up or drops off a load.

“No one believes it,” Lovett said. “But what’s nice about it is that it makes them smile… It’s worthwhile if it brightens someone’s day.”
