Something strange happens to people when they get behind the wheel of an automobile. An otherwise law-abiding, charity-giving, family-loving individual can be handed a set of car keys and sud-denly turn into a maniacal, chest-thumping, saliva-spewing silver-

back gorilla affirming his supremacy over the pack. I was attacked by one of these silverbacks recently. He was in a Prius. I was cut off to the point where a hard brake was my only alternative. No turn signal, no wave of sorry. I let him know with a honk of my horn that a car, my car, was already in the space he was trying to occupy. He seemed to take offense at that and what ensued was a lot of hand and finger waving, glaring eyes through the mirror and intentional slow driv-ing. I’m sure he’s normally a kind, gentle man. He drives a Prius, after all. But behind that wheel, even Jane Goodall couldn’t have tamed him. No other form of transportation seems to rile these dormant Neander-thal instincts. I doubt there were incidents of horse trail rage before the first Model Ts drove off the assembly line. And pilots don’t tend to cut each other off to get on the runway first. This Darwinian approach while on the way to the grocery store seems to be reserved for the roadway. Even though I considered myself the victim, I knew I had to control my instincts, which were leaning toward driving over the Prius to show him a few survival of the fittest instincts of my own. Instead, I dug deep, ate a bit of humble pie and found the patience necessary to move on. Patience is without question a virtue not easily attained. It’s why I give all OTR drivers a lot of credit for hitting the road every day. If driving habits are any indicator, patience is a mandatory attribute for all professional drivers. I think it should be on every driving job appli-cation. The downfall of our society will occur when professional drivers run out of patience. So remember, you’re keeping our country together in more ways than one. Danica Patrick knows about patience (Page 26). From breaking gen-der barriers to breaking records, she recognizes that only through time and hard work will she succeed on the track. If you aren’t a fan yet, her drive and determination may make you root for that green GoDaddy.com car around the track next year. In this month of thanksgiving, we give thanks for our family, country and friends. Wreaths Across America (WAA) is giving thanks this holiday season by placing wreaths on the gravesites of thousands who sacrificed their lives for our freedom (Page 32). This year, Pilot Flying J and many other companies in the trucking industry are helping WAA with the goal of placing a wreath on every gravesite in Arlington National Cemetery, approximately 225,000 graves. It’s a great cause for our fallen heroes. Thanks for your patience and safe driving.

Drivers With PetsI do have a gripe. I love dogs, and own one myself. Yes, it’s nice that drivers have their dogs along for companionship or exercise. What’s not right is how they make the dog do its business on the rocks by the fuel is-lands. I’ve seen many fuel stops where the grass has been replaced by rocks to discour-age this act. After the job the driver needs to clean it up, wherever the job has been done. Lots of stores sell nice little rolls of bags for cleaning up. All you have to do is stick your hand in, pick up the work and pull your hand back through the bag. Tie the bag shut and place it in the garbage. Your hand stays clean and so does the land. There is no exception because you’re a truck driver. Dog owners all over the U.S. are required to clean up after their pets whether at home or away.

Thank you for the vent,Bonnie Aretz

Wake-Up CallI’ve been driving off and on since 1990. I’ve driven for companies large enough to only barely recognize a driver by his driver num-ber, and companies small enough to recog-nize the truck according to the name of the driver it was assigned to. At one time or an-other I’d say I’ve dealt with just about every possible issue a driver might be faced with, and that includes my own failing health as a result of not paying better attention to it. Everywhere I go I hear the same tired old complaints by other drivers: Dispatch is too fast; miles are too slow; not enough hours in the day to complete the tasks assigned to that day; and not enough money at the end

of the week to pay the bills. And all while the government is supposedly hanging over every shoulder just waiting for any chance to make it that much harder. Take a look around. That dispatch office doesn’t treat you any different than you treat yourself. Time was when the drivers ef-fectively policed themselves – when an un-safe driver was calmly, quickly and efficient-ly removed from the road by other drivers without major property damage and often with the general public never even knowing there was an issue. The government steps in with ever-tight-er regulations simply to try and do what we seem to refuse to do for ourselves. Scared you’ll get fired for not making that 900-mile run overnight after running all day? You were looking for a job the day before you started working there, weren’t you? The government can’t jump on the companies without probable cause. They have to have evidence showing something is wrong. The new system of recordkeeping tracks ev-ery driver and company, so the evidence is available. Unfortunately, as a direct result of our refusal to take care of ourselves, it means a lot of good drivers are going to get hurt in the process even while the bad ones are getting weeded out. What is the worst they can do to you for driving legal, fire you? If they are that bad you need a better job anyway. You can’t make a living driving legal? Then you need to look closer at your bills and you probably need a better job as well. I’ve spent my time in the 100 mph large car, running coast to coast as fast as I could turn it. Now I drive a 65 mph truck and use electronic logs that I can’t rewrite to suit dispatch. I make more money now than I ever did then and work far less doing it.

Healthy ChoicesThanks to Linda for her article on healthy choices. I tried that six-meals-a-day thing last year but it didn’t take me long to end that fad. It just felt like I was hungry all the time and I ended up eating too much junk. Let me tell you, planning six meals every day is a real drag. I actually gained weight. Since then, I’ve tried what Linda suggested – eating a good breakfast every day, keeping general track of my calories and taking half my dinner to go. Doesn’t take a lot of plan-ning and it’s working so far. Now I just need to start exercising more. Baby steps, I guess.

Company ProfilesI appreciate that you feature a trucking company in Challenge. I’ve been pretty un-happy with my current company and have been looking for a change. Don’t want to do anything too quick, so it’s good that I can read about what other companies are of-fering their drivers. Only problem now is deciding which one. Some of them seem to really understand how important drivers are. Wish more companies would get that. Truck drivers are the backbone of America. If you bought it, a truck brought it. Doesn’t get simpler than that.

Dinner Discount to Ditch the Phone

Making it Official The first Thanksgiving was cele-brated in 1621 when the Plymouth colonists and Wam-panoag Indians shared a meal of venison and duck, but it wasn’t until 1863 that President Lincoln proclaimed it a national day of “thanksgiving and praise to our be-neficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.” Almost 80 years later, in 1941, it was officially made a federal holiday by President Roosevelt.

Beg YOur PardOn Pardoning a turkey started as a joke in 1987 with Ronald Reagan and became a tradi-tion with George H.W. Bush two years later. Every year the president pardons a turkey and one backup turkey in the event the main bird falls ill. In 2008, President George W. Bush pardoned the backup fowl Pumpkin when main bird Pecan fell ill before the ceremony.

talking turkeY Almost 250 million turkeys were raised in 2011; about half were raised in Minnesota. North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and Virginia round out the top five turkey-raising states. Not all turkey meat stays here. The top five countries for U.S. turkey meat are Mexico, China, Hong Kong, Canada and the Dominican Republic.

liOns and Bears, Oh MY! The Detroit Lions first played on Thanksgiving Day in 1934, when they battled (and lost to) the Chicago Bears at the University of Detroit stadium. Since then, with the exception of five years during WWII, the Lions have played a game on Turkey Day every year. The Dallas Cowboys have played a game every Thanksgiving since 1966.

Raise your hand if this has hap-pened to you. You’re out to dinner at a nice restaurant. A lull in the conversation comes and your din-ner date pulls out his or her cell phone to check a text message or missed call. It’s a slap in the face to etiquette. Well, Mark Gold, owner of the Los Angeles restaurant Eva,

has decided he’s had enough of this rude dining behavior. He’s now offering a 5 percent discount to patrons who check their phones at the door. Since Gold has of-fered the discount, almost half of his customers have accepted the phone-free challenge. “For us, it’s really not about people disrupt-

ing other guests,” he says. “Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again. It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the dis-traction of a phone.” Wait, he actu-ally expects us to talk with only the people in front of us? LOL.

What a PalJim Morrison said, “A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be your-self.” Or in the case of a friendship in Sweden, just total freedom. According to Swedish prison officials, a man who was sentenced to a year in prison for smug-gling took his chosen occupation a step further and smuggled his friend into the prison to serve out the sentence in his stead. Apparently, the friend used a fake driver’s license and carried out the sentence while the real criminal fled to Asia. The switch was only discovered after the friend was paroled before the full term of the sentence was completed. An international arrest warrant has now been issued for the real criminal. No word on whether the substitute prisoner will be charged. Now that’s a friend.

We may be a couple of decades (or centuries) from living on other planets and visiting Ewoks, but hover bikes, like the ones in Star Wars, may be here sooner than you think. California-based company Aerofex has helped create the technol-ogy that could bring flying bikes closer to reality. In the past, designs for this type of vehicle were burdened with stability and rollover issues. Aerofex addressed and solved those by creating a system that reacts to the driver’s movements and balance with controls placed at knee level. Simplifying the controls means that anyone could pilot the vehicle, allowing for all types of users. Doctors could ac-cess patients in rural areas, police officers could pursue criminals off the beaten path and soldiers could deliver weapons and supplies to comrades in the field. Flight testing of the hover bikes has been limited to 15 feet above the ground and a speed of 30 mph, not because of vehicle limitations but to ensure pilot safety. The company doesn’t plan on selling manned versions, says aerospace en-gineer and company founder Mark DeRoche. Instead they are using the manned vehicles as prototypes to develop an unmanned version the military could use in combat situations where helicopters are too large and bulky. An unmanned ver-sion flight test is planned for 2013.

How often have we heard about the need for America to become more en-ergy independent? Much of the time, statements about energy indepen-dence are nothing more than rheto-

ric, but that does not mean there aren’t viable opportunities to develop alternative fuels. In fact, over the past several years there have been significant strides in the development and implementation of these fuels and they are slowly beginning to make their way into the marketplace. Biodiesel, wind energy, so-lar energy and more provide some nice alter-natives, but there are disadvantages to using them as well. What’s interesting is the different types of alternative fuels available, and how the advantages and disadvantages of each play upon each other. Perhaps one of the follow-ing is the path to energy independence, or maybe they’ll all play a part in addressing the growing need for energy.

bioDieSeLThe alternative fuel most often discussed in the trucking industry is biodiesel. There are legitimate concerns about the future use of biodiesel in an industry that relies on the

more traditional diesel fuel. Does biodiesel provide the same power and fuel economy as traditional diesel? Will the costs be lower, and will it be readily available? Will truck manufacturers convert to biodiesel, and how might that impact truck prices? What exactly is biodiesel? The U.S. De-partment of Energy (DOE) defines biodiesel as a form of diesel fuel “manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats or recycled restau-rant greases.” The nice thing about biodiesel is that it is far more environmentally friend-ly than diesel. Not only is it biodegradable and less polluting, but it can also be manu-factured from recycled sources. With ever-increasing air quality standards imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), biodiesel is often seen as a viable option to helping meet new criteria. There are challenges associated with biodiesel, though. It is largely ineffective and unusable in a pure form. That is, truck and vehicle manufacturers have not designed the engines to operate with pure biodiesel. Ac-cording to the DOE, “most vehicle manufac-turers approve blends up to B5,” which is a 5 percent biodiesel blend. Additional disadvantages of biodiesel are

the lower fuel economy, higher cost, impact on engine durability, ineffectiveness in low temperatures and a slight increase in nitro-gen oxide emissions at times (though it can reduce CO2 emissions significantly).

etHanoLAnother transportation-related alternative fuel is ethanol. Ethanol received much of the attention in the 1990s and early 2000s, but enthusiasm seems to have waned. This is a fuel made by fermenting and distilling starch crops such as corn or potatoes. Some argue that because this is not a fuel refined from oil, its use can reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil. However, there are also concerns about utilizing the nation’s food sources as a means of fuel production. Ethanol is approved for use, at a 10 per-cent blend, in all automobiles, and most gas stations around the country sell an ethanol blend of fuel. In fact, it is far more difficult to find a station with no ethanol than it is to find one with ethanol. There are also some vehicles that will operate on an 85 percent ethanol blend (E85). These “flex fuel” ve-hicles are often billed as environmentally friendly. The challenge with the E85 vehicles is that stations are not as widespread. Ethanol use also results in lower fuel economy than traditional gasoline, so there is some trade-off there. And, without gov-ernment subsidies and tax incentives, etha-nol would not be economically viable, as it is very costly to produce. Matt Crenson wrote a story about ethanol for The Associated Press in 2007 in which he noted, “The only economical way to make ethanol right now is with corn, which means the burgeoning industry is literally eating away at America’s food supply. And most analysts conclude its environmental benefits are questionable.” Not much has changed in five years.

WinDMost over-the-road truck drivers have seen wind farms lining the highways of America. The tall white wind turbines spin and gener-ate electricity, feeding America’s electric grid with clean renewable energy. This alternative fuel, like the others, is seen as a way to create greater energy independence and help the environment. The DOE reports that U.S. wind power capacity grew to 47,000 megawatts by the end of 2011, which is essentially enough to power 12 million homes annually. The de-partment also reports “nearly 70 percent of all of the equipment installed at U.S. wind farms in 2011 came from domestic manufac-turers.” What’s interesting about wind though, and not widely publicized, is that wind gen-

eration is not a base load. That is, it gener-ates only when the wind blows. So for every wind turbine that is built there needs to be a corresponding base load generator that can provide power when the wind is not blow-ing enough (or is blowing too hard). Recent years have seen these base load plants in the form of natural gas generators, but others include nuclear plants, hydropower dams, coal plants and more. This may be one of the reasons why the only industry to surpass the wind industry with new generating installa-tions was natural gas. We also see that even with the govern-ment’s production tax credit and other sub-sidies, wind energy can be more expensive to consumers than other forms of energy. For example, a typical wind energy kilowatt hour rate of 12 cents is not uncommon. In some areas of the country this is three to four times more expensive than traditionally gen-erated energy. The Pacific Northwest also has a unique oversupply issue. The Bonneville Power Ad-ministration (BPA) generates low-cost clean hydropower with its federal dam system along the Columbia and Snake rivers. In a good water year, and high-wind periods, there may be too much electricity to place on the grid so the ratepayers of the BPA end up paying the wind producers not to generate electricity.

Wind energy developments don’t come without environmental issues either. Some argue that wind turbines threaten native and endangered bird species and bats and may even disrupt the migration patterns of non-flight animals. Then of course there is always opposition from those opposing them as an eyesore to the local landscape. The good thing for the trucking industry is that the wind industry needs trucks to haul the very large turbines, blades and column pieces to destination. Generally, each turbine requires seven or more truckloads of equip-ment.

SoLarSolar energy systems have been around for several decades now and remain most popu-lar with single home or business installa-tions. Large solar projects are less prominent, but several do exist and produce significant amounts of electricity. Like wind energy, solar energy is more expensive than traditional hydro, coal and natural gas production, but it is also deemed to be clean energy and environmentally friendly. The Mojave Desert in California is a popular location for proposed solar projects, though there are other areas in the country with project proposals. Ironically, most opposition with regard to solar projects comes from environmental

groups. They tend to have concerns about whether large projects should be placed primarily on private lands for conservation pur-poses. There is also a large footprint that becomes shaded, thus limiting natural growth and perhaps disrupting natural animal habitats. There is one large proposed project, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, in the Mojave Desert that encroaches on the habitat of the desert tortoise – a threatened species. There are some interesting possibilities for the transportation industry with regard to solar energy, though. If you missed the April feature in Challenge Magazine on solar highways, it might be worth finding in the archives on our website.

biomaSSBiomass is a broad encompassing category of alternative fuels. At the most basic level, anyone who has ever burned wood in a fireplace has used biomass. Biomass, as defined by the DOE, is organic material made from plants and animals. The interesting thing about biomass is that as long as we are able to grow trees and crops, biomass will exist. There are even opportunities for some garbage to be recycled as biomass. Biodiesel and ethanol are both forms of biomass. Many old pa-per mills and wood mills are adding a biomass component to their plants in hope of remaining economically viable. Those plants then use the heat from biomass to generate electricity and place the energy back on the grid or to power their own mill. This form of electricity is also more expensive than traditional forms of gen-eration, but not quite as expensive as wind power. According to the DOE, biomass accounted for about 4 percent of the nation’s total energy usage in 2011. But biomass production is not without opposition. Biomass electric generating plants of-ten come under public scrutiny due to concerns about air quality and the depletion of forests. There is debate as to how valid those points of contention are. There have been some interesting developments at the DOE’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) recently. Researchers “have engi-neered the first strains of the bacteria to digest switch grass bio-mass and synthesize its sugars into all three types of transporta-tion fuels – gasoline, diesel and jet fuels.” Specifically, the JBEI researchers are using E. coli (yes, the one we want to avoid in food) to both digest the dissolved biomass and produce hydrocar-bons that have the properties of petrochemical fuels. Imagine that, the dangerous E. coli could be part of the solution to America’s energy independence. There are many other forms of alternative energy being devel-oped too, but they are still largely in the early research stages. Tid-al wave power, geothermal energy, ocean currents and more could all be concepts to watch in the future. The one thing that stands out as we look at the different forms of alternative energy is that there really isn’t an ideal solution to the nation’s energy needs. Each form of alternative energy has its advantages and its disadvantages. Each seems to have support and opposition from environmental groups, depending on the argument. Even some “renewable energy” still requires a base load energy source that is generally a more traditional form of energy production. Price is an issue, but even the more traditional forms of energy are seeing increased prices. It would seem the key is to be informed about the alterna-tives, not rush into them because they just “feel” right, and per-haps make certain they can stand on their own without too much government assistance. As a nation, we’ve come a long way with regard to environmental protection and energy production. Hope-fully future decisions will be both environmentally and economi-cally responsible. PCM

Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry are having a good time. They’ve been on tour, doing what they do best: per-forming live music in the highly en-ergized, hard-charging, raucous style

fans have come to expect from the veteran country duo known as Montgomery Gentry. Montgomery will tell you there’s nothing like a live show. “When you hit that stage and all at once people are singing your songs and they’re louder than you are,” he says, “there’s no rush like it!” And no two shows are ever the same, depending greatly on the audience. “We get our energy from the crowd,” explains Gentry. “We’re a lively act anyway, but the

crowd kind of adds fuel to the fire.” They hit the road months ago to promote their seventh and latest album, “Rebels on the Run.” It’s their first new music in more than three years and their first venture with new label Average Joe’s Entertainment. The duo parted ways with longtime label Co-lumbia in 2010. The album is classic Montgomery Gen-try, with songs like “Where I Come From” and “So Called Life.” Since bursting onto the country music scene in 1999 with their first big hit, “Hillbilly Shoes,” the Kentucky natives have followed with a long list of proud-of-where-we-come-from, make-no-apologies-for-it anthems like “My Town,”

“Hell Yeah” and “Something To Be Proud Of.” “We’re just who we are,” Montgomery says. “We like being that way, you know?” Their music has always highlighted their small-town America, strong work-ethic val-ues. Values that have resonated with fans like Bryon “Bearcat” Beresford of Picker-ington, Ohio, who drove nearly four hours to see a Montgomery Gentry show in Lou-isville, Ky. It marked his 53rd time seeing them perform. “There’s no doubt they sing about what they believe and believe in what they sing,” he says. “They are all about the blue-collar working class, and it is revealed in every show when they sing about fam-ily, working hard all week, partying on the weekend, and supporting our towns, coun-try and the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend it every day.” Montgomery Gentry came up through the music industry the old-fashioned way, with a lot of hard work. Both were born in Kentucky. Eddie Montgomery came from a musical family. His parents had a band of their own as he was growing up. Troy Gen-try began playing guitar and performing as a teenager. In the early ’90s, Gentry and Montgom-ery were in a band with Montgomery’s brother John before John left to pursue a solo career (country music fans know him as John Michael Montgomery). In 1994, Gentry won the Jim Beam Country Music Talent Search in Nashville and later traveled, performing on his own before returning to Kentucky to form Montgomery Gentry. They played in clubs and honky tonks, eventually getting a record deal. Along with Hank Williams Jr. and Lynyrd Skynyrd, one of their musical influences is the legendary Charlie Daniels. Daniels turned out to be an early supporter, doing vocals on a song he wrote on their first album. Daniels remem-bers attending an early showcase appear-ance for the two in Nashville. “I think it was Eddie’s mother who asked me, ‘What do you think about my boy?’ I said, ‘Ma’am, they’ve got it! They’re great,’” he recalls. Daniels has maintained close ties with Montgomery Gentry, and in fact, in-vited the duo to join the Grand Ole Opry in 2009. Today Daniels says, “They’re extremely talented and they aren’t done yet. They have a lot more music to play.” The Tennessee native notes he’s proud of their friendship, adding, “The only time I don’t get along with Troy and Eddie is on football Satur-days, when Kentucky’s playing Tennessee. Out of 365 days a year, that’s the only one where we’re enemies,” he says, laughing. Montgomery and Gentry remain dedi-cated to all things Kentucky, whether you’re talking about sports, events, charities or

bourbon. Kentucky-based Jim Beam remains a huge sponsor stemming from its early ties with Gentry. You see the name on the group’s tour bus and on backdrops at their shows. Mont-gomery still lives on his Kentucky farm, although Gentry has since moved to Nashville to be closer to the music industry. Despite their success, which includes gold and platinum albums, more than 20 charted singles, a Grammy nomina-tion, and Country Music Association (CMA) and Academy of Country Music (ACM) awards, they’ve never forgotten who they are or where they came from. “I’m just an everyday guy like everybody else,” says Gentry. “I just kind of have a cool job that I get to go to on the weekends. I come home, I’m a dad, a father and a husband. I do the same things I assume most good fathers and husbands do.” Throughout the years, they’ve had to deal with their own struggles and setbacks, often in public. There was Gentry’s high-profile legal mishap in 2006 after killing a bear on a wildlife preserve. He later apologized on the group’s web-site. In 2010, Montgomery was diagnosed and then treated for prostate cancer. Shortly after his diagnosis, he announced that his wife had filed for divorce. “We’ve never tried to hide anything,” says Montgomery. “What you see with us is what you get.” The duo also remain dedicated to giving back. They sup-port a number of charities and in 2010 received a humani-tarian award from the Academy of Country Music. When Montgomery opened his Eddie Montgomery Steakhouse in Harrodsburg, Ky., he used the grand opening to generate funds for a local charity he supports called Camp Horsin’ Around. The camp helps terminally ill children with cancer get outside and spend time on a farm, away from the hospital. Both are passionate in their support of the U.S. military

“rebeLS on tHe rUn” is the kentucky duo’s 10th album and fea-tures the hit “Where I Come From.”

as well. They’ve performed at several USO shows, played at military bases, and in 2011 headlined the first USO Homefront Concert broadcast to troops overseas. They give mili-tary shout-outs at every show and Montgom-ery sports a host of military patches and insig-nia on his jacket. “We’ve always had a respect for our military,” says Gentry, noting that he and Montgomery both had family members in the armed forces. “After 9/11, it just became more of a ‘Hey, we need to appreciate our ser-vicemen and women who protect this coun-try.’” As Montgomery puts it, “We take a lot of stuff for granted and I tell you, freedom just ain’t free.” They’re currently working on plans for another USO tour, possibly next year. While 13 years is a long time for any group, the duo plans to head back in the studio again, with Montgomery admitting his only option is to keep making music. “I don’t know how to do anything else but cut tobacco and farm,” he says. “Let me tell you, I appreciate the hell out of our farmers because that’s some work right there!” He laughs, but he means it. As for Gentry, “We both love doing this, we both love to travel, and both love being on stage performing, so as far as the future goes,

it’s going to be a lot more Montgomery Gen-try on the road.” That sounds like a good thing for everyone involved. PCM

Even though only five feet two inches tall and 109 pounds, race driver Danica Patrick is a per-fect example of intensity in mo-tion. Whether addressing packed

rooms of media members or battling her male counterparts at speeds nearing 200 mph, it’s easy to see she is always thinking, always preparing for what lies ahead. Patrick’s engaging brown eyes are fixed with confidence, never darting from side to side but instead focused on the task at hand. Her intensity is best displayed through a handshake as de-liberate as a military general. It’s as if she is sending a message asking those around her to take her quest to become a winning Sprint Cup driver seriously. “Back when I first started racing here in the states in Atlantics (Formula Atlantic Series) and in Barber Dodge Pro Series, I had a lot of articles written purely about my handshake,” Patrick says. “I was taught from a young age by my dad to shake like you mean it and

to not give a wimpy handshake. I’m not even going to call it a ‘girl handshake’ because there are plenty of guys out there with a wimpy handshake. That is genderless there. Just to make an im-pression and to know you are there and be strong. So that is where that came from.” Even though in a carefully selected 10-race Sprint Cup schedule this sea-son, the pilot of the No. 10 Chevrolet for Tommy Baldwin Racing via a collabora-tive agreement with Stewart-Haas Rac-ing has generated quite a buzz since the season-opening Daytona 500 in Febru-ary. Patrick is also running the full Na-tionwide Series for team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., with her best result through mid-September being a ninth-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway.She arguably brings new fans and new interest to NASCAR quite simply be-cause there is a legitimate possibility she could win. She insists she doesn’t feel any added pressure generated from

her overwhelming popularity. “I truly don’t feel like anything more gets put on me,” Patrick says. “I feel like there are a lot of hopes, but I don’t feel the pressure that I have to do something. Trust me, I have put in my head enough thoughts that I have to do certain things. Not all of them which I share with you. I don’t feel like that. I feel very lucky to be in the situation that I’m in. I feel lucky to be unique and dif-ferent. I feel lucky to have the fan base that I do. If that helps in any way or if we can work together to make it even better then that is just a win-win.” Earnhardt, who can relate to the de-mands generated by his own incredible popularity, feels Patrick has adjusted well to what is asked of her. “From what I have seen, she has been a complete professional about it,” Earnhardt says. “She understands the situation she’s in. She understands that it’s unique and I think she has no prob-lem making herself available. “I don’t think the media has been

that tough. It’s an interesting, compelling story, especially the closer she gets to going into the Cup series (full-time in 2013) and everybody anticipating that entire process. I’m not at all surprised by any of it and I don’t think she is either. I think that she under-stands the situation and she is a real professional about it.” Patrick started her racing career in kart racing in 1992 at age 10. Six years later, she raced Formula Fords in England and during a three-year period she raced in Formula Ford, Formula Vauxhall and earned a second-place in Britain’s Formula Ford Festival, the highest finish by an American in the event. In 2002, Patrick returned to the United States and joined team owners Bobby Rahal and David Letterman at Rahal Letterman Racing. After making several starts in the Barber Dodge Pro Se-ries, she moved to the Toyota Atlantic Championship for 2003. Patrick won one pole position and was a consistent podium top-three finisher but did not win. The next year, she finished third in the championship. In 2005, Patrick realized her dream of driving Indy cars with the Rahal Letterman team and was named the Rookie of the Year for the Indianapolis 500 and the 2005 IndyCar season. With her win in the 2008 Indy Japan 300, she became the first woman to win an Indy car race. She placed third in the 2009 Indianapolis 500, which was both a personal best for her at the track, and the highest finish by a woman in the event’s history. During her time in IndyCar, Patrick drove for Rahal Letterman Racing from 2005-2006 and Andretti Autosport from 2007-2011. All told, Patrick entered 115 IndyCars with one win, 24 top-fives and 55 top-10s. When asked if she would have been more easily accepted had her win in Japan come stateside, Patrick says, “No, I think that people can choose to look at what I have done and like it. Or they can look at it and choose to judge it and think it is not enough.

I don’t think you are ever going to change the people that want to cheer for you and the people that don’t want to cheer for you.” Tony Stewart, the reigning Sprint Cup champion, obviously saw something he liked about Patrick early on. While in Day-tona this past February, he praised Patrick’s abilities behind the wheel and knowledge of chassis set-ups. “The great thing is that in the short amount of time that we did get to work with her here, she processes information so fast, it’s much quicker than any other rookie that I’ve seen,” Stewart said before the season-opening Daytona 500. “Her feedback is re-ally good and detailed. You can’t teach that; that is a talent that you have to have. There is no doubt in my mind that she is going to be good. It’s just a matter of how long is it going to take for her to really get super com-fortable in these cars.” Patrick is realistic about personal ex-pectations, considering just how tough the Sprint Cup Series can be. Logging seat time, accumulating laps on the track, battling for position and building stamina are on her to-do list thus far. “Those are the important things for me to learn at this point in time,” she says. “I think it’s going to take more time for me to set an expectation level for myself. I just

need more time and more races.” Five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson feels the key for every rookie to break into Sprint Cup racing is to earn praise from the veterans who have mastered NAS-CAR’s top division. It’s an invitation that isn’t extended to everyone. “In any sport, you’ve got to come in and earn the respect,” Johnson says. “If you look at the NFL and regardless of your draft pick or whatever it is, you don’t show up to the pro leagues and have respect. You’ve done a lot of great things to get you [to the top]; but there’s just a lot of change when you get to the top level of any division, of any sport. And you have to go out and earn that respect. “I took a couple of licks before I passed one out. And there are people that come into any sport, and I’ve seen it in ours, where they expect to have the respect out of the gate. And they act in a certain way. And it makes life tough for them. You just have to go out there and earn it.” David Ragan, a Sprint Cup driver with Front Row Motorsports, sees Patrick steadi-ly establishing a presence in the sport. “I raced pretty closely with Danica at Texas Motor Speedway in the Nationwide race there last April,” Ragan says. “We both had good sets of tires and ended up finish-

ing sixth and seventh. She has driven well this year and has done a great job as a driver. She has constantly been over-hyped in my opinion just because of the star power she possesses and the fact she is a public figure. But some haven’t given her a fair shake as a driver either.” Patrick is often asked everything imagin-able as the media looks for interesting angles about her that would make a good story. That includes what her diet consists of on a daily basis and how she keeps her model looks up to par. “I eat healthy all the time,” says Patrick. “It makes me feel better as well as makes it easier to do photo shoots and look the way I want to look. I work out a lot because I need to obviously stay fit and have endurance for the car.” Egg whites, salads, yogurts and a first night track meal of salmon, brown rice and grilled vegetables keep Patrick fit for the racetrack and her sponsorship commit-ments. Patrick has proved she is a dedicated and talented competitor on the track and a good bit of that natural talent has spilled over to many clever television commercials for a variety of major sponsors. Sponsors like GoDaddy.com, Nationwide Insurance, Tissot Watches and Peak Antifreeze have created brand awareness through her beau-

tiful smile and smooth delivery. Patrick says she enjoys filming commercials and taking part in sponsors’ marketing campaigns. And while her focus remains with her on-track performances, she takes very seriously what she does off the track to help promote the companies that support her racing. In fact, according to Nationwide Insur-ance, their NASCAR-related sales increased by 40 percent in 2011 over 2010 and in just the first quarter of 2012, they received nearly $3 million of media exposure as part of their Nationwide Series sponsorship. Patrick’s NASCAR merchandise sales are consistently in the top five each weekend, according to Motorsports Authentics, and GoDaddy.com saw significant Internet spikes during the Su-per Bowl commercials that she has starred in.

One would think the Beloit, Wis., native studied acting at some point in her life but she insists that isn’t the case. Instead, she credits a public speaking course many years ago with helping her handle with ease live press conferences and photo or video shoots. “I’ve been one of those who has been on television for a very long time,” Patrick says. “I remember being a young teenager in high school and ABC and MTV coming to my high school. I’ve sort of always been around the camera. Actually, a sponsor paid for me to go to the Dale Carnegie speaking course when I was young. I’m telling you, I brought the average age of that room down a lot.” Patrick also learned early on to be pre-pared for any question the media poses to her on any given day. It’s an art that can only

be mastered over time and takes plenty of practice. “There are two things that were said to me that was important,” Patrick says. “When talking to the media, always answer questions like it’s the first time you’ve heard the question. And the other comes from my personal perspective and that is, you’re nev-er going to ask me something I don’t have an answer for.” Patrick says her comfort in front of cam-eras comes from being around them so of-ten. She’s done work for Spike TV, hosting a show called “Power Block,” as well as work for the Nashville Network. “The ease of doing the commercials is just from having the experience,” she says. “I’ve even heard from the time I’ve been with GoDaddy.com, from (website founder) Bob Parsons and other people, that I’ve come a long way. They say I’m so much better at doing the commercials. You know, that’s a very kind thing and a very nice thing to say. I have lots of great partners that run com-mercials so I get a lot of practice for sure.” Patrick doesn’t mind the attention paid to her and admits she hopes it doesn’t die down anytime soon. “I enjoy being different. I enjoy being unique. I enjoy it all. I really do,” she says. “I choose to look at the positives that come with it instead of the negatives, but it is a balance. The ups are really good and the downs are sure disappointing. I’m followed well and I have lots of great fans and I’m always so grateful when people write nice things about me. The people that don’t, I also respect that perspective as well. “I’m very pleased that I’m in NASCAR. I’m very happy; I’m having a lot of fun.” PCM

Twenty-one years ago in the small fishing village of Harrington, Maine, Morrill Worcester, owner of the Worcester Wreath Co., was wonder-ing how he could use the surplus

of wreaths his company had left over from the holiday season. His thoughts brought him back to his youth when he won a trip to Washington, D.C., and visited Arlington Na-tional Cemetery. The memories of that visit and the sacrifice of so many soldiers had left an indelible mark on Worcester, and an idea began to take form. He would honor those fallen heroes by placing wreaths on their gravesites during the holidays. Worcester’s idea soon spread, and after getting permission to honor those buried in Arlington, a small group of volunteers began to help, including James Prout, owner of lo-cal trucking company Blue Bird Ranch Inc., who offered to deliver the wreaths the 750 miles from Maine to our national cemetery. Placing the wreaths on the soldiers’ gravesites became an annual tradition, with Worcester and his handful of volunteers faithfully and without fanfare organizing the delivery and spreading of 5,000 wreaths (enough to fit in a trailer) at Arlington, pro-viding a poignant gesture of thanks. Then in 2005, a photo was taken and posted on the

Internet of the wreathed headstones after a light dusting of snow. Letters and donations began pouring into Worcester Wreath Co., catapulting Worcester’s gesture into some-thing much more profound. To manage the overwhelming support by thousands across the country, Wreaths Across America (WAA), a nonprofit organi-zation, was established to carry on Worces-ter’s mission. The organization has now reached all 50 states and last year a total of 325,000 wreaths (90,000 at Arlington) were placed at nearly 800 locations, including 24 national cemeteries on foreign soil, such as

Normandy and Tunisia. The goal for 2012 is to place wreaths on all 225,000 headstones in Arlington and the trucking industry plays a vital part. “Without the trucking industry as a whole, specifically the carriers and drivers who donate time and equipment, we would not be able to do this,” says Tobin Slaven, director of communica-tions at WAA. “We would not be able to get the wreaths out to all the locations without their help.” To achieve this year’s ambitious goal, nu-merous companies in the trucking and trans-portation industries, including Pilot Flying J, are stepping up to support WAA. Pilot Flying J has pledged to raise $100,000 through its “Cup with a Cause” campaign. For $4.99, drivers can purchase a limited-edi-tion travel mug from any Pilot Travel Center or Flying J Travel Plaza in the U.S. With every mug purchase, $3 will be donated to Wreaths Across America. Pilot Flying J is also includ-ing a free refill coupon with each “Cup with a Cause” travel mug purchased. “The mission of Wreaths Across America is ‘Remember, Honor, Teach,’ and we are proud to support those values,” says Jimmy Haslam, chairman of Pilot Flying J. “Our friends across the industry, including the Truckload Carriers Association, many pro-fessional drivers and trucking companies, are already very involved in the program. We’re proud to join our friends and colleagues in honoring the men and women who gave their lives to defend our nation, and we’re sure our customers will want to help us too.” Each year the wreaths delivered to Ar-lington originate in Maine with a caravan of trucks stretching as much as four miles long. The trucks take a week to arrive at Arlington, making several stops along the way for me-morial events at veterans’ hospitals, schools and civic gatherings. This year, the wreaths will arrive at Arlington and be spread on Dec. 15.

Dwight Henry’s childlike awe at see-ing Peter Fonda and Louis Arm-strong’s stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is heartfelt. A New Orleans baker and restaurant own-

er by trade, Henry still has trouble thinking of himself as an actor. But that’s just what he’s become since his debut role as Wink in the critically acclaimed film “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” The film, an underdog when it came to the Sundance Film Festival, ended up winning the coveted Grand Jury Prize as well as the Excellence in Cinematography Award. There is buzz that it has a shot at being nominated for one of next year’s Academy Awards. The poignant production tells the story of 6-year-old Hushpuppy, who lives with her daddy, Wink, in a fantastical bayou. Hushpuppy is desperate to save her ailing father and sinking home but she must learn to survive whatever catastrophe comes her way. The film is a testament to resilience,

strength and spirit. “I’ve always been interested in hold-outs,” says the film’s director, Benh Zeitlin. “Like, why do people stay in a place that’s difficult to live in or that’s dangerous or that puts your life at risk? Why do people stand by their homes in times of disaster?” The film was shot on location in the coastal parishes of Louisiana. Filmmakers stayed in Pointe Aux Chenes at the far end of the bayou. They spent much of their time visiting Isle de Jean Charles, a low-lying ridge of land in Terrebonne Parish. Many of the descendants of the 90 com-munity members were Cajun and Native American fishermen who stayed despite the imminent danger of floating into the Gulf of Mexico. “It’s where the road ends and the Gulf begins,” says producer Michael Gottwald. “We needed a community that seems like it would fit the imagined world we were creating. The whole film is an exploration about what it means to

be so tied to a place that is so fragile.” Playwright Lucy Alibar worked with Zeitlin to adapt her stage play “Juicy and Delicious,” which served as the basis for the film, into a screenplay. She recalls her first impression of the Louisiana bayou where some families live on land that has been in the family since the 18th century. “The trees are almost like people reaching out of the water,” she says. “The people’s relationship with the water is incredible to me. It’s so vital to who they are. It’s like a family member, someone that they have grown up with. It was their sense of humor and love of life that I found so humbling.”

Alibar wrote the stage play about five years ago when her father was stricken with cancer. The play is about a 10-year-old Southern boy who believes his father’s coming death will coincide with the end of the world. Writing the play was her way of dealing with the situation. “It blew my by: joan tupponce

mind on a lot of levels,” she says of her father’s illness. “My whole world view changed. I was ill equipped to deal with that. I was unprepared.” Zeitlin and Alibar have been friends for years so it was natural for the two to work together on the screenplay. Zeitlin made it clear that he wanted to use real people, not professional actors, in the main roles. That meant that Alibar would have to adapt the role of Hushpuppy to fit whoever was cast in the role. The search for actors began in early 2009 in an abandoned New Orleans classroom. After four months with no luck in casting Hushpuppy, Court 13 Productions, which was producing the film, branched out be-yond the city into the bayou communities. The team looked at 4,000 young girls be-fore deciding on Quvenzhané Wallis from Houma, La., who was 5 years old at the time. Zeitlin was looking for a young girl with an active imagination, fierceness and creativity. Wallis was a natural. “She was so good and so truthful,” Alibar says. “She was smart and funny.” Henry respects Wallis’ innate acting abilities. “She is a brilliant young lady,” he says. “We made it easy for each other. We created a bond.” Once Hushpuppy was cast, it was time to search for someone to play Wink. Hen-

ry’s New Orleans restaurant, Buttermilk Drop Bakery & Cafe, was across the street from the school where the team held audi-tions. They often would slip out to the cafe to grab something for breakfast or lunch. Henry had seen the audition notice and asked if he could try out for the role. In-

stead of attempting to act, he told stories about his business and growing up in New Orleans as well as the hurricanes he and his family had dealt with over the years. “When Hurricane Betsy came, our house was under water,” he says. “My parents put me on the roof. I’ve been though hurricanes

Camille, Andrew and Katrina. I’ve been through the BP oil spill. There are a lot of things we go through living on the Gulf Coast.” Henry stayed in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. “We refuse to leave the things we love the most,” he says. “I refused to walk away from my business and let vandals come in. I got caught in the Gentilly area in neck-high water. I al-most lost my life. All of that helped them decide I was the perfect person for this part.” The team was mesmerized by Hen-ry’s audition tape. “We pursued him,” Gottwald says. “When we tried to give him the part he dismissed us. He told us he had a bakery to run and we were talk-ing about a full-time job that would be more than an hour away from his family and his bakery. He was resistant.” After auditioning, Henry took a break from his business to spend time with his family. Filmmakers scoured the area but couldn’t find him. “No one knew where I was,” he says, adding that he was flat-tered that Zeitlin and the film’s produc-ers believed in him. “There was a natural ability they seen in me that I didn’t see in myself. They had me believing that I was the only person in the world that could

play this part.” While he may not have had confi-dence in his acting skills, Henry has al-ways believed in himself. “I wouldn’t be in my position in business if I didn’t,” he says. Henry resurfaced several weeks later but turned down the offer to star in the film. “I couldn’t walk away from my business,” he says. “I told them to give me some time to work things out. I came back a couple of weeks later and I had to turn them down again.” Henry wanted to take the part but wouldn’t until he found another baker that could fill in while he was gone. “Certain things in the bakery no one can do but me,” he says. “There were certain recipes I couldn’t hand over. I was reluc-tant because of recipes and trademarks but I got someone to cover for me.” To accommodate Henry’s work schedule, Zeitlin held rehearsals in the bakery, from 2 to 5 in the morning. “They made a lot of concessions to work with me and do this film. They saw things in me that I didn’t see in myself,” Henry says. “They knew I would have to come back to the bakery at a moment’s notice if something happened.” Even though Henry and Wink are

“i Want to FiLL my FiLmS with wild, brave, good-hearted people,” says director Benh zeitlin.

very different in some ways – Henry doesn’t drink like Wink, is articulate and dresses well – there were some similarities be-tween the two. “I have a 7-year-old daughter that is the most important person in the world to me,” he says. “I care about my community like he does. I could relate to the loving, car-ing, compassionate person that Wink really is. He takes things to heart. That is me. I love my family better than anything else in the world.” Gottwald saw the character of Wink evolve once Henry stepped into the role. “He brings a lot of himself to it,” he says. One of Henry’s most difficult scenes in the film was the death scene, he says. “They wanted real emotion out of me. I went deep down in my soul and thought about things. I went into my gut and tears came out of my eyes.” Since finishing the film, Henry has crossed the country on press tours. His biggest thrill came the day he was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey. “Oprah interviews the most famous people in the world. For me to sit in the same [room] with Ms. Winfrey was an honor. It was like I had met the queen,” Henry says. Now, life is getting to normal. Henry has already completed a second film, a project that stars Brad Pitt, and is planning to open another bakery called Wink Bakery & Bistro in New Or-leans’ central business district. “I’m trying to get it ready for the Super Bowl,” he says. “I will never give up the bakery. It’s a legacy to pass down. I want to build the business up for my [five] children.” While he has no ambition to become a full-time actor, his experience with “Beasts of the Southern Wild” is something, he says, that he “will never forget. I will hold it dear to my heart.” PCM

Don Ek has always been a go-getter. A veteran driver for more than 30 years, Ek is a natural early bird. He likes to load first thing in the morn-ing to get a jumpstart on his day. No

sense in sitting around. And the company he drives for, Central Oregon Truck Co., accom-modates him just fine. “Our trucks do not sit,” he says. “That is the best part of this company.” Then he jok-ingly adds, “Well, that and the checks don’t bounce.” Don’t let the name fool you. Central Or-egon Truck Co. isn’t limited in terms of ge-ography. The company with the well-known green trucks offers flatbed and curtain van

routes across the the U.S. and Canada as well as dedicated routes and a Northwest heavy-haul division. “These choices help drivers get home on a much more consistent basis,” says CEO Rick Williams. That home-time consistency makes Cen-tral Oregon Truck Co. stand out for drivers. Frank McAtee is a veteran flatbed driver who recently started driving for Central Ore-gon. “I’m old school,” he explains. “I’m used to [dispatchers] taking two or three weeks after I tell them to get me home, instead of the next load. For 30 years dispatchers and recruiters have lied, so I was expecting it. It’s a big adjustment for me.” Staci Guerrero had a similar experience.

After working for the company for less than two months, she needed five days to move. “So we moved, I called in and said I need a load,” she recalls. “They asked me if I was ready to come back. I said yes. Half-hour later, I had a load.” That kind of flexibility is something Guerrero really appreciates. “They realize that we are people; that we have things going on that we need time off for or need to deal with.”

Driving flatbed has gotten a reputation in the trucking industry as being strenuous. Central Oregon doesn’t contest that flatbed is hard work, but they like to think of flatbed as a hard workout. With more than 50 per-cent of truck drivers overweight, the com-pany has addressed this issue with the “Flat-bed for Fitness” campaign that starting in December will promote healthy eating and exercise. McAtee points out, “Anything you do to get active is good. Pulling these tarps and throwing these straps, it’s all good.” As one of the few women in flatbed driv-ing, Guerrero says she liked the idea of hav-ing her job get her into shape. “I was out of shape and I thought, OK, if I pull a flatbed, I’m going to get in shape,” she says. “Like it or not, it’s part of the job, you’re forced to work out, so that’s why I did it.” If a new driver is looking to get miles under his belt, Central Oregon is the place to be. “We maximize miles and production using electronic logs because we won’t sac-rifice safety for miles,” says Williams. “Our drivers get production and therefore gross more than our competitors.” And that isn’t just a recruiting pitch. McAtee averages al-most 12,000 miles every month. Guerrero

runs about 11,000. Ek too. “This company has got the loads and they will run the dickens out of you,” he says. “It’s a good company, lots of good freight to haul, keeps you busy, keeps you rocking ’n’ rolling.” And those miles combined with the benefits package can easily add up. Veteran drivers can earn 45 cents before supple-mental income like tarp, drop and deten-tion pay are considered. “We also offer drivers 100 percent company-paid medi-cal, dental and optical benefits and com-pany matching 401(k) contributions,” says Williams. “In short, our drivers can easily earn more than $52,000 every year before benefits are factored in.” The bonus pay is impressive as well. “My first full month here I did 13,500 miles in one month,” says Guerrero. “I got a bo-nus for high mileage, for good fuel con-sumption and for safety. My bonuses from my first month were $1,074.” And it isn’t just the extra numbers on her paycheck that she values; it’s also the recognition. “I got a call from my driver manage-ment, I got an email from one of the girls in the office, I got a call from Rick Williams congratulating me and thanking me for do-ing such a great job,” she says. “The place I was at before, I was doing more miles with their truck. I was not allowed to go home, I got two days off after two months on. The

more I pushed and the more illegal I ran, the more they expected. I never got a thank you.” Now at Central Oregon, Guerrero is happy and making mon-ey. “I was never appreciated before and now I am. That says a lot.” McAtee echoes that sentiment. “This is the most driver-friend-ly company there is,” he says. “They tell you they care about the driver and they really do. They try to do everything they can to make sure that you’re comfortable, happy and productive for both yourself and them.” PCM

Let’s say you’re taking your toddler on his or her first airplane trip and you want to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible. What do you do? First, you prepare your child for the trip by

telling her or him where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. Then you tell your child about airplanes – what they look like, how you sit in them, what you can ex-pect to see and feel. And you reassure your child that you are going to be together every step of the way. According to Kenneth Ramirez, execu-tive vice president in charge of animal care and training at the Shedd Aquarium, that’s what you do when moving sea creatures

from one place to another. Located on the banks of Lake Michigan in Chicago’s Grant Park, the Shedd Aquar-ium has been in operation since 1930 and has one of the largest collections of sea life in the world. Known for its superior care, the aquarium is responsible not only for the thousands of visitors who seek out its trea-sures annually, but more importantly for its resident sea creatures, who depend on the staff for daily care. That caring compassion by the staff can’t be better demonstrated than when moving aquatic life to and from the aquarium. And Ramirez is the man who oversees every detail. While freshwater creatures are easy to

come by with the aquarium so close to Lake Michigan, collecting marine life, or sea crea-tures, is a much greater challenge. “Most of our marine life come from other aquariums and often they come from many other parts of the world,” Ramirez explains. “Whenever we bring animals in they have to be transported with great care that re-quires some unique transport mechanisms and technical knowledge to move these ani-mals safely – ways of keeping them wet and moving them great distances.” Moving saltwater creatures and habitat from the coast, any coast, to the Chicago aquarium, nearly dead center in the middle of North America, is a daunting task. When the aquarium was under con-struction in 1927, tanker trucks containing seawater arrived daily, dumping their cargo into the aquarium’s tanks. Since then, the aquarium has earned its reputation as an American treasure, preserving sea life and inviting visitors from around the world to view sea turtles, moray eels, Pacific octo-puses and red-bellied piranhas, to name just a few. “When it comes to moving some of our larger animals, especially our beluga whales, dolphins and sharks, those ani-mals require even more special care because of their weight and size,” says Ramirez. “Large cranes and forklifts are necessary to lift the containers that are used to transport the animals up off the back of flatbed trucks. As the box or tanks are being lifted by the crane there’s an attendant, a trainer who knows them well.” The aquarium uses three different kinds of trucks. “We can use an open flatbed or, if we are transporting in an area where the weather or climate is poor, we use a roller bed and roll the container into the trailer. There are also some container trucks that have a removable canvas-like top. We can put the animal on the trailer and then close the top over the tank. We want to make the water-to-water time as short as possible, so planning starts much, much in advance.” Recently, the aquarium did reconstruc-tion on some of their facilities, prompting Ramirez and his team to move all eight be-luga whales to a temporary facility. While beluga whales are one of the smaller species of whales, they’re hardly small. Varying in length from 13 to 20 feet and weighing 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, the planning behind mov-ing these creatures is extensive and can take years. “In the year leading up to (moving the whales), the animals that had never been moved before, the young animals, were all taught to swim into a hammock-like stretch-er that simulates water pressure on their bodies and acts like a seatbelt for them,”

says Ramirez. “They are then lifted out of the wa-ter and put back into the water. It turned into a game.” But the “game” can take as much as two years of planning for just one move; every detail is checked again and again. The container, whale, passengers and extra paraphernalia can weigh between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds. Because there is no room for error with such precious and sen-sitive cargo, special arrangements are made. The route, which can be in excess of 1,000 miles in some cases, is specifically planned for easy ac-cess to other aquariums in case of emergency. The caravan consists of escort vehicles and local law enforcement agencies. In many cases, the tanks mounted on flatbed trailers are open, exposing the aquatic passengers to the elements. Ray Bingham, a 30-year veteran mechanic and driver with Randall Industries, has hauled aquat-ic loads several times for the Shedd Aquarium. He says driving performance is critical to the safe and cautious passage of both the animal and hu-man passengers. Each trip consists of an assistant who rides with the driver in the cab, monitoring all commu-nications, a veterinarian specializing in sea life and the trainer who has spent years preparing the creature for the journey. The trainer rides on the trailer and is in constant contact with the aquatic passengers, giving the animals a familiar pres-ence throughout the journey. The trainers wear special gear to protect them from the elements

To ensure ToTal safeTy of THe aniMals, each trip can take up to two years to plan and execute.

and are tethered to the trailer. If air travel is part of the itinerary, ar-rival time at an airport is planned for night-time so that the animals will not be exposed to direct sunlight that might overheat the water. “There is less traffic [at night] and we have both escort cars and police to safe-guard our path,” says Bingham. Special permits are also required to allow a person to travel on the trailer and thorough plan-ning is done to eliminate traffic hold-ups due to conventions, concerts or sporting events. All of this, of course, is to ensure noth-ing happens that will upset these large sea creatures. In fact, preparations are so thor-ough that during the last beluga whale move, the giant mammal slept the entire journey, something parents on airplanes hope their children will do. The Shedd Aquarium also designs the containers for their aquatic passengers with the designers doing everything in their power to minimize both risk and stress on the animals. This includes maintaining spe-cific water temperatures, cleaning the water and feeding the animals. Being cautious and going the extra effort to do a job right is never easy, but Ramirez and the Shedd Aquarium go above and be-yond to ensure the aquatic life they move is always safe, comfortable and at ease.

We travel a lot doing live shows across this great nation, which gives us an opportunity to ex-

plore many different food cultures in Amer-ica. Of course we eat what we can – who could resist – but we learn a lot as well, not only about the areas we visit but also about what flavors they have that stand out. It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it. We can’t always control where we go for shows, so we make the most of wherever we end up. As most of you probably know, being out on the road for a living or for rec-reation, there are parts of this country that might not be on people’s radar for vaca-tion destinations. Sometimes, that’s where we end up. So when the itinerary sends us there, we EAT! Then there are places that are not on the schedule, but still need to be explored and examined, all in the name of research. Barbecue detour, anyone? That’s why we took a trip to Maui this past summer for two weeks to study the food of the Hawaiian culture. Who am I kidding? We went there to stretch out on the beach and drink rum, but while we were there we had a chance to research some great island dishes. One of our favor-ite discoveries was a dish found along the

roadside, huli huli chicken served with co-conut rice. The key to this recipe is the type of chicken you use. We recommend boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of the stan-dard white breast. Dark meat has a little more fat than the breast so it won’t dry out. Marinated in a huli huli sauce, the thigh re-ally does a nice job capturing that Hawai-ian version of barbecue sauce. When served over coconut rice, you honestly believe you are on the beach drinking from a pineapple and soaking up the sun. PCM

We all know diamonds are a girl’s best friend and there’s a place hidden in Pike County, Ark.,

where expensive little friends can be dug up for a very low price. At the Crater of Dia-monds State Park, visitors can pay just $7 to spend the day digging at the only diamond mine in the world open to the public. Landowner John Wesley Huddleston found the first diamonds on the site in 1906. He tried to establish a commercial diamond mine, with little success, and eventually sold the land for $36,000 to a mining company. The site would change owners several more times until 1972, when the Arkansas Depart-ment of Parks and Tourism bought the land and turned 37.5 acres that the diamond mine rested on into the state park it is today. Along with diamonds, there are other precious stones and gems in the ground just waiting to be found, including lamproite, amethyst, banded agate and jasper. The likelihood of finding a stone is pretty good, says park interpreter Waymon Cox. “The park has several semi-precious stones, like calcite, barite and quartz, that are found on a daily basis,” he explains. “Hematite is a precious stone which is found here on a semi-daily basis. Others, like amethyst, peri-dot and garnet, are found less often.” Any stone that is found is free to take no matter what the value is. This holds true even for the world’s only perfect diamond, rating a 0/0/0 on the American Gem Society’s scale (the lower the score, the better the diamond),

which was found at the park in 1990 and named the Strawn-Wagner Diamond. It was later donated to the park and is on display at the visitor’s center. Cox says the park appeals to all gen-erations. “Many of our visitors are fami-lies with school-age children, who come during summer vacation, as well as older couples and retirees, many of whom visited years ago and return with their own adult

children or grandchildren.” When visitors have had enough digging for gems, there are walking trails to explore where you can get to know the flora and fau-na Arkansas has to offer. Some parts of the trails are even wheelchair friendly. If visitors want to make a splash, they can head over to the Diamond Springs Water Park, a mining themed aquatic playground, or go trout fish-ing on the Little Missouri River below Lake Greeson Dam. The river is stocked routinely November through March. Who knows, maybe you’ll find the next perfect diamond. But even if you don’t, you’ll have fun trying.

Some time ago, friends invited Cassie and me to make a trip into Kings Canyon National Park in California.

For those who have never experienced the majesty of the giant redwoods, you should make every effort to do so. They will hum-ble you. Some of them date back before the Revolutionary War and they continue to age gracefully. They are immense and bat-tle-scarred themselves, from wars fought against fires, lightning strikes and man’s environmental mistakes. They really need to be seen to be believed. It takes about two days to reach the park from San Diego. As you enter the foothill region of the Sierras, the trek is hard on equipment and kids, but once there, the beauty of it quickly erases the trials of getting there. We were trailer camping in those days with a 17-foot trailer and a modified van. We planned a weeklong trip with six peo-ple to feed, with a very small refrigerator, and Cassie had done a marvelous job of packing enough staples and meat for the trip … or so we thought. We packed most of our food in Tupper-ware, which was widely popular in those days for storage of all things necessary for meals. Believe me, Cassie had been to her fair share of Tupperware parties. We had practically every size known to the Tupperware designers of the time. After dinner and the requisite marsh-mallow roasting, it was time to put the kids to bed. Two of our kids slept in the trailer and two in the van. We returned to the campfire for a little more visiting and sharing of the events of the day. We knew we were in bear country and were more than a little nervous about it, but we

thought, an encounter with a bear always happens to someone else. As the night progressed, Cassie made it a point to go over to our site about ev-ery five minutes or so to check on the kids and on her third trip she came back, pretty quickly I might add, saying we had a visi-tor. That bear that you always hear stories about had entered our site, ripped the top off of our metal Coleman chest, which we had placed under a heavy park table, and proceeded to empty every Tupperware container in the chest. Although we were only about 60 feet away, we heard noth-ing. And the kids slept right through it. I’m not exactly sure where our heads were at that moment, but I’m pretty sure searching for a bear in the dark, yelling, with several loaded flashlights, wasn’t the brightest thing to do. It must have worked, though, as none of us were attacked or mauled and served up as dessert. Early the next morning, we went about retrieving our Tupperware containers. They were strewn everywhere. One con-tainer lid had large tooth holes in it and Cassie later took it to Tupperware parties for a conversation piece. We still have it. Fortunately, our friends had more than enough food to share with our family, and believe it or not, we even retrieved some meat that had been frozen. I’m guessing the cold stuff did not appeal to the bear’s palate. But they do love jams, jellies and honey. Those containers had been licked so clean they didn’t need washing. We were lucky. It could have been much worse and we learned a lesson about camping and how to prepare for uninvited guests, namely Tupperware bears! PCM

over the past several months many drivers have worked out with us on our Driver Wellness Tour. And many of them have shared first-hand what tools they need on the

road to log more healthy miles. I’ve been listening and at the Great American Truck Show (GATS) last August we introduced several new products and initiatives. Thousands of drivers had the opportunity to see and taste some of my latest wellness products developed in collaboration with Freightliner, Panache Cuisine and Healthy Vending Management. Also at GATS, veteran driver Troy Robbins from Covenant Transport, who is a Rolling Strong Driver Wellness Am-bassador and ReBuilt by Rolling Strong graduate, shared his story of a road back to health. Robbins is a driver that many driv-ers can relate to. He first learned of Roll-ing Strong when he lost his job due to his health. Weighing 488 pounds and standing six feet tall, he struggled to find a workout or nutrition plan that would work for him. “Drivers don’t know what it’s like to lose everything, until they do,” says Robbins. Unfortunately, Robbins knows what it is like to lose more than just his job. Two years ago, he lost his wife to cancer, leaving him with a young son to take care of. He struggled to get his health under control and lost sight of how to eat well and exer-cise. During this time, Covenant Transport was working with me on the launch of a program called ReBuilt by Rolling Strong that helps drivers like Robbins get back on the road to better health. “Exactly a year ago I failed my physi-cal and within 30 days on the ReBuilt pro-gram I was back to work. I lost 25 pounds and my numbers got back in line,” says Robbins. “I continue to lose weight, down another shirt size, exercise daily, eat right and feel better than I have felt in a very

long time.” To help more drivers like Robbins, we debuted at GATS the industry’s first FIT system (Freightliner In-cab Training sys-tem), which I helped develop with Freight-liner. As an option for on-highway Class 8 Freightliner trucks, the FIT system sup-ports driver health and wellness by creat-ing an in-cab fitness system using resis-tance bands. “The Rolling Strong Freightliner In-Cab Training System is exactly what I need to keep my cardio going and strength train-ing when I am away from home,” says Robbins. “I am going to tell my son I want Santa to bring me one!” As Robbins will tell you, exercise alone won’t make you healthier. What you put in your mouth makes all the difference in los-ing weight. So Rolling Strong has also part-nered with Panaché Cuisine to bring driv-ers food selections that were once reserved for corporate employees to become main-stays in their driver wellness program. Rolling Strong didn’t leave out the ter-minals or other popular destinations either. We partnered with Healthy Vending Man-agement to bring great-tasting, healthier food options, including Rolling Strong’s Driver Designed Food Products, to drivers through their healthy vending machines. This is a healthy choice that any size com-pany can begin to implement within their workforce. “I had a lot of nutrition and physical fit-ness information already in my head but really didn’t know how or where to start,” says Robbins. “Rolling Strong has helped me get started and expanded my knowl-edge in physical fitness and nutrition. I am very grateful. It saved my job and has set me on the path to getting much healthier.”

Our trail cameras confirmed what the wildlife biologist reported. There were too many does living on this property. He issued additional per-

mits to reduce the doe population. My brother and I quickly appointed ourselves as CDMOs (chief doe manage-ment officers). During the late muzzleload-er season last year, Tom and I filled five of the doe tags in one weekend. The meat was donated to local families in need. As self-appointed CDMOs (there is no such title, we made it up), we were looking forward to returning to duty this fall. As plans were made for the next doe manage-ment weekend on our Kentucky lease, Tom and I went astray in a text conversation trying to outdo each other on some “doe” wordplay. It went something like this.

brenda: “We are the doe-minators.”

tom: “Because they taste doe-licious.”

brenda: “Only shoot mature does, as the young ones are too adoe-rable.”

Several hours went by and I thought I had won our doe-texting conversation. Then he came back with this, “Make sure you process them quickly because no one wants a sour doe.” I couldn’t think of any-thing more clever, so I had to declare him champion. Although we were being silly in our tex-ting, the task of managing a deer herd on a large lease is not to be taken lightly. The health of the population is part of our job as responsible hunters. Nature provides that

the female deer get the best habitat for rais-ing the next generation. The bucks we had been hunting all season naturally return to less desirable areas to survive until the next breeding season. Those less desirable areas are still rich in nutrients, with wildlife food plots, agriculture and plenty of natu-ral food. The bucks on this property have it pretty good. Which means the does have it even better, contributing more than ever to the growing population explosion. The consequences of having too many does or too many deer on the property can result in a number of things. Deer are browsers, eating a wide variety of native and non-native plant species. There can be extensive crop damage. Not only does this damage happen on our farm but it can also spill over to neighboring crop fields, which does not make the local farmers happy. Deer can damage natural vegetation, estab-lish browse lines and deplete food sources for other species. They may move into ar-eas populated by humans, eating expensive flowers or getting hit by vehicles. Too many deer may spread disease more quickly, such as epizootic hemorrhag-ic disease (EHD), or something called blue tongue. Both present the deer with dev-astating and vicious ways to die. Natural predator populations, like coyotes, can in-crease along with the deer numbers, reap-ing havoc on small game species. It is certain, Tom and I will be returning to our lease as CDMOs and taking our self-appointed responsibility very seriously this fall. After all, does are doe-licious and no one wants a sour doe!

Too Many Does

Icover the efforts of the best and most talented mechanics, drivers, engineers, fabricators, chassis specialists, pit crew members, hauler drivers and owners in racing. The objective is clear – go fast and

win. But life’s true lessons are woven deeply through all of the efforts, challenges and struggles on the NASCAR circuit. Life serves up blessings when you least expect them, challenges that you don’t think you deserve until you get to the other side of difficult, and some heaps of humility along the way, to better prepare you for the good that eventually will come back around. Fun-ny how that happens, right? I stood in Victory Lane at Chicagoland Speedway with Penske Racing owner Roger Penske. Just 24 hours earlier he had suf-fered a heartbreaking defeat in the Indy Car championship when his driver Will Powers lost the championship by one point after he crashed. As he basked in victory with his Sprint Cup driver, Brad Keselowski, a proud Roger Penske, who a day earlier had suffered deep dejection, was now immersed in the highest of highs. As I watched him celebrate the win I observed it was, for him, like jumping from

boiling water to freezing water, stunning in its temperature change. I’ve never seen Roger spray more champagne or jump into the team’s moment hollering or celebrating more than he did after that win by Kesel-owski after the pain of the loss of Powers. There’s that thing called life again. Earlier – that very same day – I had my broadcast headset on when I passed by Brett Jewkes, the vice president and chief commu-nications officer of NASCAR. When I com-mented in passing what a perfect day it was, he reminded me that one year ago that very day he was lying in an induced coma in a hospital and they were not sure he was go-ing to make it. He had been very ill and now he’s a man who is better able to appreciate the clear blue sky on a perfect race day in the Midwest after literally being brought back to life. In my garage rounds that morning I also ran into Andy Taylor, “Knight Rider,” the hauler driver for the No. 88 team of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Every time I’ve seen him for as long as I can remember I would shout out across the garage, “Where we goin’, buddy?” and he would reply, “We goin’ to the top, baby, we goin’ to the top!” That

day he reminded me that we began saying that to each other that very same weekend seven years ago at Chicagoland. Seven years seemed to have passed like the blink of an eye. “Now, we really are going to the top,” he told me, with a grin. Wow! Denny Hamlin was always extremely hard on himself and his team when things didn’t go right. Hamlin was running ninth but ran out of fuel with two laps remaining on this particular day. I saw him melt down when a fuel issue cost him a championship in 2010. It was a bitter, difficult pill for him to swallow. On this day, I was moved when af-ter the race his fuel man, Scott Wood, found Denny and apologized for not getting all the gas in the car. Hamlin, devastated, gra-ciously accepted his apology. They became an even tighter team on this day. It was a touching moment. All of these moments happened on one race day! In NASCAR, there are so many loud sounds and sights and bright colors and fast speeds and big emotions and bands and ce-lebrities, and everything just moves so fast. Like a driver who has to learn to focus on his lines on the track, I work hard to focus on the small things that go on that may, in the big picture, mean as much as the loud sounds. On this day, these moments stuck out to me like a marching band. Life is precious so enjoy every moment. Learn to accept defeat because it prepares you for the winning that is just around the corner. A team effort takes humility but the reward is greater and with positive energy and great patience we are re-ally all, in one way, shape or form, going to the top.

Over the past couple of years the Fed-eral Motor Carrier Safety Adminis-tration (FMCSA) has seemed more aggressive in its approach with high-risk truck and bus companies. The

FMCSA has used its ability to shut down these carriers on a more frequent basis than past administrations, and now they have made moves to further strengthen their resolve to ensure the highways are safe. In September, the FMCSA announced several improvements to its Compliance Safety Ac-countability (CSA) enforcement program, all of which are designed to enable a quicker response to these companies. The changes to the CSA program will take effect in December 2012. While most drivers won’t notice the changes, it’s still important for carriers to understand them. Some of the changes include removing mi-nor speeding violations (1-5 mph), ensuring all recorded violations accurately reflect the inspection type, removing small passenger carrier companies (one- to eight-passenger vehicles), changing the cargo-related Behav-ior Analysis and Safety Improvement Cat-egory (BASIC) to the Hazardous Materials Compliance BASIC, and matching Fatigued Driving BASIC to the specific HOS Compli-ance BASIC. The improvements are largely data driv-en. “Good data plays a key role in keeping our nation’s roads safe,” says Transporta-tion Secretary Ray LaHood. “These im-provements will enable us to better identify and address unsafe truck and bus compa-nies before tragedies occur.” FMCSA administrator Anne Ferro testi-fied before the House Committee on Trans-portation and Infrastructure’s Subcommit-tee on Highways and Transit regarding this issue on Sept. 13. After a lengthy summation of the highway safety record, the purpose of CSA and the proposed improvements, she concluded her statement with more resolve. “FMCSA has made significant progress in implementing CSA and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our program. The net result is improved safety in com-

mercial motor carrier operations. We are continuing to build on these successes as we finalize the program through data-driven decision making and processes as trans-parent and inclusive as possible,” testified Ferro. The strengthened resolve should come as no surprise to anyone in the industry. In the June 2012 Challenge Magazine issue I featured an interview with Ferro and this was one of the items discussed. In that inter-view, Ferro said, “My point internally, and the team feels this way very strongly, is that we need to press forward using all the au-thority we have at our disposal today to get the worst of the worst off the road. That in-cludes the use of the imminent hazard tool, which had been available to us in the past but which we hadn’t challenged ourselves to ask under which conditions we can use it. And when we have carriers flaunting this, representing a very demonstrable risk to the public outside of the normal compliance re-view, we need to take action fast.” She added, “We aren’t using the im-minent hazard tool irresponsibly, as that doesn’t serve anyone well. But, we are definitely going to use it to every extent we can to take the irresponsible carriers off the road. It’s a temporary tool – it’s saying they are presenting an imminent hazard right now and we have to shut them down. That doesn’t mean the company doesn’t have the right to come back and show they fixed the problem so they can operate again.” From my perspective there is nothing wrong with wanting to raise the bar on safety. And carriers that simply are unable or unwilling to meet the most basic of safety guidelines should be removed from operat-ing on the highways. The one thing I caution against is “mission creep.” Let’s not over-regulate an already highly regulated indus-try by implementing cost prohibitive mea-sures. Let’s also remember that the trucking industry is already committed to safety and our professional drivers do have safety as a priority.

it’s that time of year where we’re sup-posed to be thankful for things. While I’d feel more comfortable carrying on with the monthly theme of this column and finding something else to gripe about, a

good friend recommended I put a positive twist on things for once and show my “softer” side. So here it is, in no particular order, 15 things I’m thankful for:

15. ray-ban sunglasses. I splurged on a nice pair and I swear they make me see the road better. 14. e-Z Pass. If we’re going to have toll roads, at least they’re trying to make it as painless as possible.13. traveL mUGS. For that second cup of coffee that I drink nice and slow. Keeps it hot and fresh.12. atLanta braveS. Foiled by an infield

fly call but a great season. Gonna miss Chipper Jones.

11. beinG UP beFore tHe DaWn. Maybe it’s me, but there’s something about that time just before the sun rises and there’s that faint glow to the sky. Everything just feels calm and still. It’s a brief moment of peace before a hectic day. 10. cHicken anD DUmPLinGS. The ultimate comfort food, especially after a long day on the road.9. coLLeGe FootbaLL. There’s just some-

thing about those fall weekends. Cool tem-peratures, hours of our new national pas-time and it gets dark so early you don’t feel guilty you sat on the couch all day.

8. my coUcH. See above.7. katHy ireLanD anD aDriana

Lima. Old school and new school for rea-sons I don’t need to explain.

6. aLabama. I’m a country boy after all and these guys just keep rolling. You know, they’ve sold 73 million records and had 21 consecutive No. 1 hits. Awesome.

5. GPS. Won’t go anywhere without it. Can’t get anywhere without it.4. cHallenge MagaZine. You didn’t think I’d forget the preeminent magazine in the country for the open road traveler, did you? Great stories, great commentary and it’s free.3. 5-Hour energy. It’s my “hello” wake up around 2 p.m.2. SiriUSxm raDio. Especially “Trading Paint” with Dusty Long and Chocolate Myers on NASCAR radio. These guys know their racing.1. FamiLy. Yes, it’s a sentimental pick but one that I’m grateful for every day.

Anyway, that’s it. Looks like I do see the glass half-full from time to time. I hope you enjoy the holiday and pace yourself on the turkey and trimmings. Speaking of trimmings, what’s the deal with cranberry sauce? Does anyone really like that stuff? Ah, back to my old self.
