Read On !!!!!

Weather is coming and alreadycoming to the mountains.

To the right here I have 2 of the hotelsI stay in whilst enjoying beautiful British Colum-bia Canada, AKA the Rocks AKA the Rock Pile.

As an owner operator heading west Iwould stop in Golden, grab a Truckers rate atthe Ponderosa and enjoy the hot tub, bed,shower and shave as well as internet to catchup on the laptop.

Getting a Hotel is cheaper thanrunning the truck and even now not owningbut driving a truck the welcome time out ofthe truck for room time and idiot box noiseworks for me for the super low CTM rate.

I like taking 5 back through WellsGray as it is flat, not likely to be closed for anyreason and I stop at Wells Gray Inn, again thegreat CTM rate. It is not to much longer goingthrough Edmonton.

In talking about Edmonton have tomention the Yellowhead Inn there. Page 27this month is there Ad and support for yourmagazine.

The Yellowhead Inn has been fullyrenovated and is the most trucker friendlyHotel you can walk into. Even the front deskis a truck grill.

Some people have opinions on theRoadking in Calgary and mine is I stay and eatthere. They give me a CTM rate and I havecoupons for J’s and the breakfast there is great.

I mention these places as not to ad-vertise but when you read page 5 you will un-derstand it is important to get out of the truck.

I have done this for years at thesespots, even before the magazine, so I soughtout these chosen few to advertise in our maga-zine here to spread the word and idea to insteadof dropping money someplace else, invest it inyou and a place to have a good nights rest!

I like to say again thanks forreading CTM and I look forward tohearing from you than about you.

Be safe my friends!Happy Trails.....

Some might wonder what is withthe PTSD ?? Soldiers ?? RescueWorkers ?? Ya but Truck drivers??

Well PTSD is a very important sub-ject to all of us and especially Trucking, Po-lice, Fire, Rescue and Military.

I have added this article again as Ihad so much feedback last month.

If you can relate to the picture on theright there is a good chance you may have it.

I have 6 close friends that aretruck drivers that have been involved in ac-cidents where people have died as a resultof a transport 4 wheeler accident.

A few left the truck to try to help thevictims to find sights a person should never see.

Do they have PTSD you bet they doand may not even know it.

PTSD may be caused by accumu-lative incidences; this is what can affecttransport drivers the most. constant stresscaused by traffic and tight schedules, seeinghorrendous accidents or assisting as firston the scene to accidents or seeing thesheet covered bodies can cause accumula-tive PTSD along with isolation of the job, wemay not be able to talk about whatever emo-tions we are going through.

This all builds up, “accumulation” tillwe lash out at Dispatchers, Customs, Shippersor anyone that triggers you to release.

PTSD is a very treatable mental ill-ness and nothing to be ashamed of.

If you think that you might be suffer-ing from it by having continued nightmares, anx-iety, depression, stress or outbursts,that you feelsorry about after, or worse don’t, then by allmeans do not hesitate to see someone to getsome help with this disorder.

All kinds of help is available in-cluding your brothers and sisters on theroad.

Don’t hide in your truck aloneafter driving alone 10, 13 hours, getinto the truck stop and sit and tell sto-ries and laugh and get it out.

5

Look for stops that have a pub you cango into, not pounding down beers, that too hasit’s problems, but have a water or coffee and enjoysome music, company and again jokes and sto-ries.

Seeking professional help for PTSD isnothing now to be ashamed of because you haveearned this by your service to the people around you.

Without you going down the road theshelves would be empty, fuel pumps dry andchaos in the streets. So Truckers deserve someunderstanding.

A lot of my brothers and sisters on the roadhave served and seen some ugly things.

There are true Veterans Clubs likeANAVETS where you can meet with like minded peo-ple like you anywhere in NA and tell stories and sipwater.

I attend these Clubs and have Friendswho served as Police, Military, Prison Guards andRescue works, not to mention one postman, thatcan attest to the great therapy being with friendsand like minded people can produce.

If you take anything away from my writingshere, isolation is our worst enemy!

We do have a social network out therecalled truck stops that are conducive to a socialclub,please find them, please use them.

When you see me out there, stop me andhave a coffee my ears are always yours and my timeis for my readers and brothers and sisters of the road.

This is my Therapy after years of Truck-ing, Police & Military service, as I too have PTSDand fight it with humous and the friendship of myfans.

Thank-you Dave

See a great joke you want to share,send it to CTM to print this is your magazine, and enjoy more jokes onthe next pages and extra on the web

Okay we all knowwe should eat healthy andfast food or greasy spoonsare no good for us as lookat me now 50lbs way tooheavy!

But on the road,where do we eat?

I don’t have to tellthe silver back driver thata fridge in the truck withgood healthy food is thecheapest and best bet, butin my article about PTSD,I also say don’t become ahermit in the truck.

Also if you eat 2healthy meals in the truckyou can have one at agood stop and enjoy thespecial.

In coming articles Iwill identify from you andme being there places thatthe cost and food won’t killyou!

I have breakfast atJ’s Wok at my favoriteRoadKing Travel center inCalgary Alberta Canadaand love it, both food andprice and the open arewith loads going on.

When I travel states side I willeat breakfast like Oatmeal in the truckwith raisins and milk then find a GoldenCoral for lunch, Big Lunch, then a sand-wich for supper in the truck but will gointo the stop I am at for coffee.

A plug for the Golden, everythingyou want, healthy and not and cheap atlunch and most have truck parking nearby.

In Canada I often thought abouta guide for new drivers as there are re-ally driver friendly stops with good foodand then there are ones you regretwhen eating there and for hours after-wards.

Send me some of your beststops by email pr FB and lets make thislist!Happy Trails Dave

Querel Trailers has the Xp3you all have been looking for.

Pictured above, Bruce Querel, atQuerel Trailers with the new Xp3 stand.

His experience in this industry andtesting Xp3 told him this is a product tostand behind and offer to his customers.

This is a CTM favorite as Bruce hasput an article in CTM in the past and more inthe future I hope as he is in my opinion thetrailer expert.

Not only how they are built andwhat is junk and what not, but what you canlegally use and what you should be using.

Querel Trailers has been providingcontractors, road builders, forestry profes-sionals and long haulers with quality newand used semi-trailers for over seven years.With +35 years trailer sales experience be-hind it, Querel Trailers has the industry ex-pertise needed to ensure its customers gettop-quality products at reasonable prices.

Querel's Trailers has a large inven-tory to choose from. The company stocks50, 55 and 60 tonne lowbeds, C/W Jeeps andboosters, tandem steel and aluminum enddumps with box liners, tri-axle steel and alu-minum end dumps and mechanical de-taches.

You might not be pulling one ofthese now, but I bet you know someone whois.

Querel also specializes in the forestindustry. Through its manufacturers, thecompany has a wide range of pulp trailers in-cluding tandems, tri-axles and super Bs.Querel also has storage trailers and storagecontainers for sale.

Querel is based in Manitoba, butcan and does provide service across thecountry thanks to unrestricted territorialagreements with manufacturers. As part of itscommitment to service, Querel will delivertrailers to its customers' home place of busi-ness, anywhere between Ontario and BritishColumbia.

Querel staff offers extensive prod-uct and industry knowledge meaning an in-formed comparison can be done right in theshop. Not only will they provide everything acustomer needs to know about the trailer andits components, but Querel staff is well-versed in regulation requirements and re-strictions so customers can make sure theyleave with the right purchase.

Querel Trailers comes backed by asolid reputation that makes the companyname synonymous with quality products andexceptional service.

Some ports ofentry mayseem so nonsuspect forthings such assmu g g l i n g ,

you know, the smaller ones such asSaint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Quebecport of entry.

Well on August 20, 201415,330 kg of contraband tobacco wasdiscovered by CBSA Officers. In a semi-trailer this truck driver was referred fora complete secondary examinationwhere the 15,330 kg of bulk tobaccowas found hidden behind boxes of freshvegetables. Driver was arrested by theRCMP for smuggling.

A Brantford, ON truck driver,Craig Moses, 52, recently plead guiltyfor unloading chicken that was notauthorized to stay in Canada whichis a violation of the Customs Act.

The chicken was supposed tobe dropped off in the U.S.A. Twice whiledriving his tractor-trailer loads of frozenchicken through Canada shortcuttingthrough Michigan and New York, thedriver chose to unload some of thechicken onto a trailer in Hamilton, ON,meaning that the chicken had enteredthe Canadian market without being in-spected which is a health risk to Cana-dian consumers or taxed which theselling of gives illegal importers an ad-vantage monetary wise.

Moses was fined $20,000.Moses’ trailer had a seal that shouldhave remained intact while en routein Canada but was found broken dur-ing the illegal unloading.

Moses was unaware that offi-cers across Ontario had been watchinghis truck from Sarnia to Hamilton and hewas observed conducting this illegal un-loading. Moses no longer works as atransport truck driver and the possibleimpact on the Canadian food safety is ir-reparable.

A random pull over search ofa semi-truck by the California High-way Patrol uncovered $3 millionworth of cocaine in the Panama Laneat Highway 99 in Bakersfield, Califor-nia.

By Dawn Truell ~ CBS ~News from the borders.

The truck driver, Tsoi Jee-Leung from Ontario, Canada was ar-rested by the CHP after the officersalong with their trusted police dog found83 kilos of cocaine in his truck.

Let’s not leave the airport outof this smuggling picture. 37.5 kilo-grams of cocaine were discoveredhidden in three shipments of ma-chine parts from Panama at theToronto Pearson airport recently.

CBSA officers arrested fourpeople after a multi-agency investiga-tion: Philmore Jarvis, 47, MichelleMaraj, 36, and Wilson Jaramillo, 37, allfrom Mississauga, and Vernon Bouillion,38, of Milton. All four were charge withimporting a controlled substance andpossession for the purpose of traffick-ing. Guess they didn’t get the memothat drug smuggling and trafficking is il-legal.

Speaking of memos, I guessthe Americans haven’t yet receivedtheir memo that smuggling guns intoCanada is illegal.

Lowell Edwin Nickerson, 60years old from Florida was caught tryingto smuggle a loaded revolver throughthe port of Winkler, MB. CBSA examinedNickerson’s car on July 19, 2014 andfound a loaded .22 calibre revolverunder his drivers seat, he was arrestedand two days later found guilty of twocounts under the customs act. Nickersonwas ordered to pay a $13,000 and sen-tenced to three days. Next time sir;please keep your guns at home.

The MackinacBridge is a fivemile structurethat connectsthe UpperPeninsula ofMichigan withthe lower por-

tion of the state. Every year on the secondweekend in September, you can watchnearly 200 trucks cross the bridge to cele-brate the Richard Crane Memorial TruckShow “Parade of Lights.”

Nineteen years ago, the small town ofSt. Ignace, Michigan, on the north side of thebridge, hosted the first Richard Crane MemorialTruck Show.

Mr. Crane was an entrepreneur whohad a passion for training folks who wanted tobecome professional drivers. His son, RickCrane, and daughter, Fran Bernard, continue tohonor their father with the help of Ed Reavie, alocal car and truck enthusiast, and the citizensof St. Ignace, who welcome them each Septem-ber with open arms.

Outside of the Upper Peninsula, how-ever, very few are familiar with the event. It’s oneof the best kept secrets in truck shows.

This year’s event was the biggestever in the history of the show. The National As-sociation of Show Trucks (NAST) ran the truck“beauty contest” competition and reportednearly 150 trucks and tractor-trailer combina-tions in the show. With the added vendor unitsin the parade, estimates range near 170 vehi-cles crossing the bridge at dusk.

The Mackinac Bridge is supported bytolls, and the $5 per axle fee is sponsored by BillHutchins, a journalist in the trucking industry, andhis wife, Wilda Dodson, supporters of the show.

Ellen Voie, President/CEO ofWomen In TruckingAssociation, wasthis year’s ParadeMarshall and hadthe opportunity toride in one of thelead trucks ownedby Reefer ServiceInc.

Voie alsoawarded the firstever, Women InTrucking Award forshow truck competi-tion to Anita Dewiche(pictured) of Dorch-ester, Wisconsin,owner-operator ofGentle Rain Trans-port. Anita pulls a flatbed trailer and haulslumber productsthroughout the Mid-west.

MeredithOchs of Sirius/XM’s Freewheelin’ Show onRoad Dog Trucking broadcasted live from theshow and was able to interview Anita andother drivers at the Women In Truckingbooth. Ochs was able to ride in a convoyacross the Mackinac Bridge as well.

Bernard’s goal is to increase theawareness of the Richard Crane MemorialTruck Show and to invite even more drivers,vendors, and attendees to the show for their20th anniversary next year.

This truck show is one of the mostwell organized, fun, and family friendlyevents in the country. Let’s not keep it a se-cret any longer. Mark your calendar for the20th anniversary Richard Crane MemorialTruck Show, the second weekend in Septem-ber, 2015.

Canada is now starting to see moretruck drivers and owner operators smilingand feeling better about their businessesafter they experience first-hand benefits ofthe new Xp3 Fuel Enhancer.

Xp3 is a non-petroleum based,biodegradable blend of synthetic resins and or-ganic compounds engineered to maximize thefull potential of diesel by providing a more com-plete combustion of the fuel. It improves fueleconomy, reduces soot, pollution and toxicemissions, safely and completely disperseswater into a burnable fuel, lubricates and cleansinjectors, removes sludge and carbon deposits,

provides cold weather protection against gellingand waxing, improves pour point, protectsagainst corrosion, stabilizes fuel, provides anti-algae protection, is an effective biocide, extendsengine life and reduces maintenance costs in-cluding extended oil change intervals, containsno abrasive, toxic or harmful compounds anddoes not void engine manufacturer’s warranties.

By enhancing the fuel’s combus-tion properties, Xp3 extracts more efficiencyand power out of every combustion stroke, amore complete burn equals more power gen-erated. This means better performance, lessunburnt hydrocarbons and toxic emissions,improved DPF regen cycles, reduced DEFconsumption and increased fuel economy.

Dating back to 1989, Xp3 was createdby Xp Lab Inc., in San Diego, CA to treat and en-hance bunker fuels used in ocean freighters andmarine ships. Today, Xp3 is currently sold in over27 countries through appointed Master Distribu-tors.

In her second full season asa NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver,Danica Patrick has made significantstrides.Among those who are paying atten-tion?

Try Jimmie Johnson, thereigning and six-time Sprint Cup Se-ries champion.

"She's been quick," said Johnson,speaking at a media event earlier this weekat Charlotte Motor Speedway. "There's beenAtlanta, Loudon last week, Chicago, (where)she's shown a lot of pace in really getting thecar figured out. I can only imagine how diffi-cult it is to come from an open-wheel car toa stock car. We've seen Dario (Franchitti),Juan (Pablo Montoya), many try it, and it'snot an easy transition, and she's doing a re-ally nice job."

Patrick, in her second season as afull-time Sprint Cup driver after two years inthe Nationwide Series that followed alengthy run in the IndyCar Series, has threetop-10 finishes in 28 races this season.While that may not be a stat worth celebrat-ing, it's certainly a marked improvementfrom last year's rookie campaign when sherecorded only one top 10 over the entire 36-race schedule.

Patrick also has qualified muchbetter this season under the new "knock-out"-style format, and seems to be gainingconfidence with almost every outing.

Patrick has finished in the top 20 infive of the past six races, with the highlightbeing a career-best sixth-place finish at At-lanta Motor Speedway on Labor Day week-end.

With eight races still remaining inthe 2014, NASCAR's most recognizable fe-male hopes to continue her climb in Sun-day's AAA 400 at Dover InternationalSpeedway, one of the toughest tracks on theNASCAR circuit and one where Patrick hasstruggled.

General Jimmie: Six-time champtrades his No. 48 car for a World War II tank

"It can be a real challenge," Patricksaid of the high-banked, 1-mile oval. "It'squite quick, and when you come off turnstwo and four, it drops you down like a rollercoaster. You just have to have a good setupand make sure everything is working right,or it can be a long day. It's actually a prettylong race, so you have to be prepared. Butit's a fun track and I'm looking forward to it."In four Sprint Cup starts at "The MonsterMile," Patrick has never finished better than23rd and never come home fewer than fourlaps down.

Despite her dearth of success,Patrick actually likes racing at the Delawarevenue.

"The track is pretty fun," shesaid. "I remember everyone telling mehow unique and challenging Dover wasprior to my first race. At the time, I didn'thave a whole lot to compare that trackto. They said it was like a larger versionof Bristol, but I hadn't raced at Bristolyet, either. It's nice to have more of ahandle on what to expect heading inthere now.

"Dover is fun. It's fast and it canmake for a really long day of racing. I thinkthat's part of the appeal of it -- how demand-ing it can be. We definitely want to stay outof trouble, which is easier said than done atthese types of tracks."

"Everyone just works hard, and it's payingoff," Patrick said. "We actually should havefinished better at New Hampshire (19th) butthe yellows at the end probably didn't help.We're just getting better. Tony Gibson (crewchief) and the GoDaddy guys are giving mereally good cars, and we just keep finishingbetter. I haven't run that well at Dover, butwe've done better at all the tracks we'vebeen to lately, so we're ready."
