Dave’s Article…

Now looking forward to 2010 running fast upon us, it is you the reader that will help us grow even more in year two. Keep those comments and pictures of pets coming to me so I can continue to build the type of magazine you search for, pick up, and keep.

Speaking of your favorite companion, what are you getting them for Christmas? This month I have Canvasback Pet Supplies Advertising beside the Pet Page with their toll free number and internet ordering system to be in time for winter. Great coats & sweaters and gifts!

Send me some pictures of them in their new duds.

I wasn’t sure about putting out a December Issue and asked your input last magazine. The feedback was amazing! Without a doubt our readers are looking forward to each month’s edition and asking for 12 each year. So let’s do it!

I also received great feedback on

this last trip across the country. Not to mention I left Winterpeg in sunshine and dry roads and hit the mountains with snow and ice. My good friend Grumpy in his big truck met up with me on the #5 in BC for me to share my skating story with him between Blue River and Valemount. You silverbacks know what I am talking about on that stretch of road. For the novice out there, especially first year drivers watch the black ice. One minute all seems sunny and great, then in the shadow of a mountain or other side of a water shed, Wow! Slow down when you see these coming.

People keep asking me why I deliver these magazines myself instead of the many other ways to send them out. The answer is simple; I want to make sure these are out there so they get into your hands. As well, I enjoy the truck stops I eat at and stop in.

Val at the Regina Husky is a blast!

How many of you have caught her act… or should I say been served by Val there.

Dave’s Article…

She makes your stop there a roller coaster of welcome. I don’t even know if she realizes how special she is to all of us out there. Give her loads of Seasons Greetings and tip big this time of year!

We drive alone in all kinds of weather for hours and then stop for a bite or coffee and have someone like Val, with a big smile, joke and hot pot of Java. That makes the rest of those miles easier.

You know there is something about Husky staff, at every one you find our magazine, that understand it is our second home and they make us feel welcome there. As well there is Gloria’s, Wells Grey Inn, Oakpoint, Skyline, Roadkings, Coffee Mill and on. Basically, where you find CTM you find a great friendly place. I will not leave a magazine someplace I would not recommend. It’s like travelers see a stop full of trucks and know it must be a good place to eat. Well you see a CTM box full or empty and you know it is a good place to stop. I say empty cause no matter how many magazines I put out there, they are

consumed. You know, you have one in your hands right now.

I enjoy highlighting our friends at the truck stops and posting their pictures throughout the magazine to see if you recognize them. For the novice or untraveled the answers are in the back pages.

Same as Ads in my magazine, if they are not top quality, I don’t ask them to advertise. True, I could get Ads from a lot of different companies advertising elsewhere but I don’t. You know who I am talking about I hope. I want CTM to set a standard of trust in products and stops.

That is why in my monthly article I always plug certain products or truck stops I know the silver backs are aware of. But there are a lot of new drivers out there. I am sitting in the Wells Grey Inn having a pizza and chocolate milkshake at around 7 o’clock and it is blacker than coal out there on the road. A young driver comes in, eyes burning and a little shaky needing coffee after negotiating the highway. I drop a magazine in front of him and say two names, HERD and Cruisercam. Why have all that stress? A good HERD for if you encounter a strike and the Cruisercam to be sure you don’t. The Cruisercam is now just over $3200 bucks and you can lease or use your MC or Visa. What a great Christmas Dave’s article continues on pg 9…

Dave’s Article… present to yourself, or if the better half ? is reading this, to your loved one. To save down time, an expensive tow and repairs more than pays for these tools. But most important, we lose a lot of friends out here to heart attacks caused by stress and perhaps our diets. Driving down the road white knuckled can be taken out of the equation just by adding these powerful tools. Do it for Christmas as your present to yourself and your truck.

My friends that are in Chilliwack

this week and stuck there for breakfast, lunch and supper, remember our two favorite places to visit. This month I have two very dedicated people from the Coffee Mill Restaurant in my magazine. (Right there in the Rainbow Inn where you get your CTM discount if you grab a room.) Janice and Betty have a combined 51 years of service to us. It is Christmas, drop in, tip heavy and give a big Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Don’t forget Glories while you’re there too, we love her!

And along that trail this month, don’t forget some of our favorite servers. Way too many to mention are stressing over Christmas, just like we all are this year. So an extra tip, a kind word and season’s greetings goes a long way.

It is really hard to single out the best stop Owner of the Year but in January I would like to make a presentation to products of the year, Stop Owners or Managers of the year and the severs of the year. Please email and nominate someone. I am having a Dave’s article continues on pg 11…

Dave’s Article… tough time between Vic at Brandon Husky and at Lloydminster Derritt.

He watches the magazine very carefully and keeps us on our toes.

Not to mention runs a fantastic stop.

So drivers this has been a hard year all around and we have seen this before and will see it again. But everything everyone uses is at one time carried by a truck, so the transport industry will survive like we always do. So this month, let’s do what we do every Christmas and give thanks for what we have,

instead of what we don’t. Give a big friendly Seasons Greetings to all we see. And don’t forget those of you that decorate your trucks, Thanks. I enjoy seeing you going down the road lit up. Those on the side of the road broken down appreciate that we stop and offer a hand or a cell phone call for help.

And once again, to you and yours, from all of us at CTM, my family, and myself, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and may 2010 be the best year of your life.

God Bless and Happy Trails Dave & Family

MTA PRESENTS TO TAC NATIONAL WEIGHTS AND DIMENSIONS TASKFORCE On November 24, on behalf of the other provincial associations and CTA, MTA made a presentation to the National Task Force on Vehicle Weights and Dimensions Policy regarding existing policies and practices with Canadian jurisdictions in regards to double drop and low bed trailers.

This issue was originally brought forward by a MTA member earlier and by the time it was presented to the task force it had become a CTA issue as all provincial / regional trucking associations supported the proposed action.

Under current policies and practices double drop and low bed trailers with a wheelbase in excess of 12.5m must move under permit and under certain strict conditions (which vary from province to province). As a result this type of equipment tends to be designed and built for sole purpose use, while trying to comply with the trailer wheelbase and / or permit requirements.

There is a need to increase the allowable wheelbase on these trailers to allow for an increased deck well length in an effort to accommodate farm, harvesting and construction equipment which are becoming larger.

It was proposed to the task force that all Canadian jurisdictions should allow the use (without permit) of tandem and tridem axle double drop and low bed trailers with a minimum wheelbase of 6.25m and maximum overall length of 16.15m. These configurations should be allowed to operate with both overdimensional loads (with permits as required) and reducible, non-dimensional loads at RTAC weight limits (without permits). If a trailer is further specialized and is wider than 2.6m it should be allowed to haul reducible loads on a round trip basis. The only time a permit should be required is when an over-dimensional load is being hauled, or if the actual trailer itself is over-dimensional.

While this proposal was recently presented, it will be a while before response is received from the Canadian jurisdictions and the task force.

What to do, What to do???

Hi there everyone! I apologize for my absence in last months’ issue! I had a small problem with my computer, it crashed on me.

(Technology is great as long as it works! But when it doesn’t, GEEEZ!) Anyhow I’m back!

This is going to be a little different than the articles I’ve written in the past.

A few weeks back, I was getting ready to start my day. I was in Waco Texas at the time, just getting my log book in order for the day after doing my pre-trip. (Nothing new, same old, same old.)

That’s when I saw something a whole lot wrong going on. Here’s this straight truck parked facing the wrong way in the fuel island at the truck stop. Now that in itself wasn’t the only thing. The roll up door was open about a foot or so too! So here I was thinking I best go tell the driver he may lose some of his load, and I was going to trot over and tell him he forgot to latch it shut.

Well, before I could even get out the door, out crawl 3 fellows from inside the truck’s box! Then I saw the driver and his swamper walking back to talk to these guys. At first I

figured maybe they just realized they had a few “unscheduled” guests! I figured wrong, because it was real soon obvious that they all knew each other. Now had it been a local truck, it all might have made sense a little, (though stupid, considering the heat inside the box, and the fact that it isn’t designed for passengers!) But this truck was from Houston, not I guess I wasn’t the only one to see this going on, because within a couple of minutes, along comes a couple of Police cruisers and 4 of Waco’s finest to investigate.

As it turned out, they were a bunch of illegal immigrants sneaking into the US. (Case solved, I figured!)

Over the next few days, I spoke to any number of other drivers about this little excitement. I was truly surprised to hear almost every driver having a similar type of story! (One driver actually found an illegal tied to one of his trailer axles! Go figure that!)

Now we all have a job to do out here, just like all the law enforcement agencies do! And the jobs they do, well all I can say is that I’m glad that they are doing them, and not me!

What to do, What to do…continued I took the opportunity to have a few chats with some of those people in uniform. (It’s funny how we sort of take them for granted, if not a nuisance!) Without exception, each and every one that I spoke to was friendly and informative, even thanking me for taking the time to ask a few questions about the jobs they do, and the dangers they face.

This is especially true after that horrific day when terrorist attack of 911!!!

Now every agency in both Canada and the US have their own toll free numbers, and I’m sure that we’ve all seen these posted at Ports of Entry, Scale Houses, and probably even at the terminals we all work out of.

These would be for CBSA (Canadian Border and Security Agency), CBP (Customs and Border Protection), and RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), U.S. Border Patrol, just to name a few.

Without exception, each agency had just about the same response!

Don’t confront the person, or per-

sons that you suspect of doing something wrong!! They’re breaking the law and may have no hesitation in causing you a great deal of harm!!

First thing, don’t try to be a hero!

Make sure that that you will be safe from harm, only then contact the authorities! If you don’t have the toll free number, just call 911.

I’d like to think that all of my readers are loyal and patriotic Canadians and Americans (my personal second home, as well as the country I love second only to my home land!) And reporting these kinds of activities is quite simply, protecting our countries and families from harm!

We as drivers, have the opportunity to see so much of our countries, and because of that, we see a lot of the kind of things I’m talking about here.

It’s not just your duty; it’s the right thing to do to protect us all!

I hope that this doesn’t sound like some kind of a sermon or something, and I hope that you all do the right thing!

Talk to you next month, and stay safe out there!!

Hey driver, This is Vic from Vic’s Custom Exhause in Chilliwack, BC

You’ve heard about the south side of Chicago and a guy named Leroy Brown.

Well, on the north side of St. Louis, Leroy had a counterpart named Joe Willyard. Born in the inner city, Joe was raised by a step-father who didn’t work out any better than the father who’d left soon after his birth. No one taught him to play baseball or took him hunting. There was no father image in his young life and no guidance – just a hole called loneliness.

At the tender age of 13 Joe had a full time interest in alcohol, was an alcoholic by age 14 and was mainlining drugs by 17.

After a short hitch in the army, he celebrated a lonely nineteenth birthday in prison.

Joe came out harder and wilder. He was mean to the core and carried an attitude.

Appropriately, he found employment as a nightclub bouncer.

During this period in his life, his girl24

friend’s brother was killed in a drug deal. Always the protector, Joe agreed to set up the killer for the murdered boy’s father to avenge. When he went to a bar to finger the triggerman, the word of his mission had already gotten around. When he walked out the door, he was the one who got shot. But that was child’s play compared to an episode a few months later. In the bar where he worked, a guy gave a waitress a hard time and Joe called the loudmouth outside to fight. Joe had just taken his fighting stance when he noticed the man pull a gun. The shot exploded into his chest, penetrating his right lung. But before Joe hit the ground, he pulled out his own gun and shot his assailant three times, completely blowing away his stomach.

Only plea-bargaining kept him out of prison again.

Just like in the old westerns, everyone wanted to take on the bad bouncer. So Joe decided to move. In the following years, he experienced one continual bout of drinking and drugs, until he found himself panhandling on the streets of Boston to get enough money for another cheap bottle of white port wine to drink alone.

Joe had been driving a truck on and off since he got out of prison and had been married three times. Ultimately he found himself in a detox center trying to get off booze. He wanted to be free from the bottle but was continually set off by things that drove him back to it.

That’s why on December 26, 1976 he awoke one morning in a mental ward in Milan, Illinois. He was closely guarded because they were afraid that Joe had become as suicidal as he was homicidal. Joe Willard decided at that moment that he’d taken his last drink, and he’s been dry ever since.

But he was still a lost man. Sober but lost. His mother had sent him to Sunday school and church when he was young. He had a head full of facts about God, but his heart was empty.

Although he quit drinking, he was still doing pills and snorting coke.

Right up until May 19, 1984. On that day, a driving rainstorm caused Joe to shut down one night in Bartons, Oklahoma, where he got an overwhelming urge to go to church.

“I walked into that little Pentecostal church alone. And when the pastor gave the call to surrender my life to Jesus Christ, I did. There was no hokey stuff about it. I meant business. I prayed, ‘Lord, show me where to go, what to do and I will obey.”

The saving, cleansing presence of Jesus Christ took up residence in the empty heart of the tough guy from the north side of St. Louis. When he walked back to his truck, he noticed that he was conveniently parked right next to a dumpster. There he dumped the last of his drugs. He might be alone from time to time, but he’d never be lonely again.

Since that time, Joe Willyard’s identity has been caught up in the person of Jesus Christ. His passion has become introducing others to his Lord.

You may have seen Joe Willyard’s Peterbilt somewhere on the road. It’s the one with the gorgeous mural of the sunset over the ocean painted on the side. On the hood’s painted, “Jesus is my Pilot.” Ont he back’s the decal, “Get right with God or get left.”

Looking back on his own troubled, lonely childhood, Joe urges truckers to commit their lives to the Lord and “train up a child in the way he should go.” He knows that youth cannot get involved in the things of God too early.

The Bible verse that drives him most is found in Luke 14:23: “Go out to the roads…and make them come in” (pg. 87). Truckers have given their hearts to the Lord under the illumination of the big spotlight on Joe’s truck.

“A constant problem facing truckers is loneliness,” says Joe. “The temptation of prostitution lies mainly in just wanting to be with someone, even if it’s just for a few minutes. A woman’s voice on the CB sounds like heaven. It can be a lonely life.”

“Becoming a follower of Jesus means that Satan is taken out and Christ comes in. The lonely spot in all of us is filled with the Son of God. Christ can give all the peace and companionship a man seeks.”

Family Tragedies Sandy Long

Unless you are an orphan with no family at all, at some point in your career you are going to have some sort of serious family problem or family tragedy and either have to get home to deal with the problem or deal with the problem’s effects while still doing your job. It doesn’t really matter the degree of the tragedy, it might be as simple as a child falling out of a tree and breaking an arm or as complex as someone you love dying.

We all deal with tragedy and problems differently; some of us can compartmentalize a problem while we drive, some of us come apart and cannot function, and some of us keep on doing our job even though our hearts are breaking. Our companies have a lot to do with how we deal with problems at home; some will tell us immediately and either get us a load home or allow us to deadhead there, some will allow us to park the truck and fly home and sadly some just don’t care beyond what is convenient for them.

Several years ago, a young driver at the company I worked for got a call while he was down in southern Georgia. His father called to tell him that his two year old daughter had died in a house fire and that his wife was in the hospital badly burned. The driver, who lived in Missouri, was

over 1000 miles from home and did not have the money to fly home. He called the company and they told him to head to the house then called the other company drivers. We other drivers stayed on the cell phone, working in rotation, with the young driver all the time it took him to get home to keep him focused.

Back in the 1980’s, before cell phones, I ran across an old o/o friend on the cb coming along behind me on interstate 55 in Illinois. He said he would be passing me in just a few minutes but could not slow down to run along with me. He had just found out that morning, when he had made his weekly call home that his father had died the week before but his company had not told him. He was an only child and his mother was ill and home alone, he had to get home to be with her. Sadly, he missed the funeral. The company told him that they had been trying to get him a load to get him closer to the house and did not want him to get upset on the road so did not tell him when they got the call.

A little closer to home; the first week in May, I was awakened by my cell phone ringing at 5:30 am. It was my brother calling me to tell me that his oldest son, 36 years old, had committed suicide a few hours earlier. I was 600 miles from home, under load back to Kansas City and was going to have to be the one to tell our 85 year old Sandy’s article continue on pg 30…

Family Tragedies from pg 29… mother about her grandson’s death as she lives at my home. I couldn’t break down, I called my company apprising them of the situation and that I would need to take some days off. They arranged for me to deliver the load early and allowed me to deadhead the 112 miles home from Kansas City to be with my family, allowing me to take a week off even though I haven‘t worked there a full year yet.

The first week in June, I got a phone call from the same brother’s wife that he was in the hospital. The next day, he told me that the doctors found cancer in his brain, his back and lungs. This brother is not only my brother; he is also my hero and my best friend. To say the least, the week was devastating as I had to continue to work; but once again, my company stood behind me and allowed me to bobtail to the hospital in KC to see my brother when I was there. The coming weeks are going to be very hard as my brother fights for his life and I have to face losing someone I love so greatly while still driving every day.

In today’s world, cell phones have made a very big difference in staying in touch and connected with family and loved ones. A driver can be contacted if there is any sort of problem at home or in the family; but what does he/she do then? It is not like we can drop everything and run out to the car 30

and go down the road for help, or go to pieces. We have the responsibilities of our job and you cannot just park and leave $150,000 worth of equipment with thousands of dollars of payload sitting unattended, so we end up driving.

Those cell phones that can bring the bad news can also save our sanity in that we can call our company to alert them to the problem and tell them what we need to do. We can coordinate with the company to re-power the load, park the rig in a safe area, reschedule delivery appointments or get by the house as quickly as possible.

Perhaps the most important thing we can do is to use the cell phone to stay connected to family members to give them support and also to stay connected with close friends to keep us focused and who can provide support so we can do what we have to do.

The main thing is to watch how you are handling the job closely, especially in the case of the severe illness or death of a loved one. Being distraught while driving anything, much less a truck is not conducive to survival in itself and you will not be good for anyone if you end up wrecked. If you are too overwhelmed by your feelings, park the truck for awhile and deal with your emotions; cry, yell, or even chunk rocks at trees to work through it until you can safely get on the road again to keep working or to head towards the house.

Death, illness and taxes are inevitable we just have to, no matter how hard, deal with them the best we can when they occur.

Sandy Long is a long time truck driver who is also very active within the trucking industry. She is a freelance writer for layover.com, a life member of OOIDA, member of the WIT and owner of two websites: Trailer Truckin’ Tech, a yahoo group dedicated to the education of new and prospective truck drivers and www.satinandsteelsisterhood.com for women in non traditional jobs.

Summer is over. The kids are back in school, vacations are done and with fewer distractions now you can focus on making some improvements to your business. If you are fuel-reliant this could be the time to find a new supplier. Why? There are a number of reasons. Most companies who upgrade have become tired of the hassles associated with refuelling, like fuel shortages, wasted time and production and all the associated risks. If you aren’t happy with your current supplier this article will point you in the right direction.

First of all, if you are doing your own fuel acquisition there is a better way. We’ve talked about this before. All the time and hassle compounds your costs giving you your true cost of refuelling. It is a lot more than the price at the pumps. Is it worth the effort? The best solution is finding the right fuel supplier. But how do you decide?

Here is an easy to follow TEN POINT CHECKLIST to help you make the right decision…

1) Reliability. Does the supplier guarantee fuel delivery regardless of regional fuel shortages? Check their track history.

2) Convenience. Can they deliver 24/7, 365 days a year?

3) Professional staff. Are their people well trained and certified?

4) ISO Certification. Do they adhere to standardized operations and procedures?

5) Service guarantee. Can they grow and adapt with your changing fuel needs?

6) Data capture capabilities. Are they on top of current technology to supply you with detailed fuel data, online reporting, docket review and all the information you need?

7) Reconciliation. Do they have a committed

support staff available to answer your questions fast?

8) Theft Prevention. Can the supplier provide anti-theft security, tank monitoring with remote service?

9) Environmentally responsible. How do they ensure safety in the workplace? What is their incident rate? Are they 100% accountable? If a spill occurs will they do the clean up?

10) National network. Are they capable of fleet refuelling between regions with data support for all your equipment and can give you support for business expansion?

Whew, that’s a long list, but if you invest some time now and choose the right fuel supplier you won’t be left high and dry. There will come a day this winter when your competitors are lining up for fuel while you go on with your business. In fact, if you’ve got the right supplier you won’t even know there’s a problem.
