The lament of the four wheeler who thought he could then proceeded to join the ranks of the untold number of fools to impatient for their own good.

Sometimes trains wobble and yep sometimes they do fall down. We often hear on the news about train derailments and sometimes how people from this or that town had to be evacuated. I recently had the privledge of working with Southwest Salvage moving a number of grain cars that had gone off the tracks near Newdale, Manitoba, Canada.

This trip ment a fairly decent run starting in Winnipeg and going to New Kingstown, Pa then a reload in Milroy, Pa. to Kamloops, B.C. with a drop in Armstrong, B.C.which is located on Highway 97A just a hop skip and jump south from Sicamous, B.C. on the Trans-Canada Highway #1.

This is a story involving the teller, George an owner operator with Kleysen transport.

On this past trip to New Kingstown, Pennsylvania, after emptying out, Lois and I headed up to Milroy, PA for our reload. After reloading we ran into George at the truck stop and when I explained about my channel he related this story. It seems that on one trip while southbound on I-39 in Illinois, as he approached the Rest Area at mile marker 81, he heard a faint "help me" coming over the CB radio.....

The wonders of electronics have taken the long haul driver of not so long ago and changed his environment from that of the solitary truck cab to that of the complete mobile office. As with any such transition the first of each of the components was fairly low tech and costly to use. Case in point, the mobile phone the first units were large, cumbersome, expensive to buy and use, had limited user areas, required operator assistance to place every call and no privacy to boot.....

On Saturday, September the 11th I had the the pleasure of sharing the adrenalin rush of working with the pit crews of three truck pulling contestants in the Potato Bowl Truck and Tractor Pulling contest held in Grand Forks, North Dakota .... Wooah what a rush.

In your time on this planet you've managed to amass a wealth of information that you have used to help you in your daily life or with your career and now you feel it's time to share that knowledge with others. Then maybe it's things you've heard or seen from others that you have a slightly different perspective on and you would really like others to hear your thoughts.

You now look for a platform with which to spread your words and as this is your first effort in this direction the first place you look is e-mail and creating your own ezine. The ezine part of the equation is realitively simple you put together a content based template then using that template you enter content and voila you have anezine ready to be sent out to subscribers......

I'm asking drivers and those who deal with us to write stories about your experiences and e-mail them to me.
