Some might wonder what is withthe front Cover ??? PTSD ?? Sol-diers ?? Generals ?? Good lookingCTM model,,okay..

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

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

Trust me, this writerknows all abouthow the economyhere in Ontario isnot doing so welland hasn’t been forquite some timenow; although our

government does play a large hand in this prob-lem, working directly within a cross border indus-try I can tell you, there’s something else that isgreatly effecting our economy: contraband smug-gling.

For every kilo of illegally smuggleddrugs, we are boosting the economy of anothercountry such as Mexico, Somalia, Columbia,Yemen as well as Organized Crime.

On top of that we have to take in to factorthe amount of people that have been killed during theharvesting, packing and transportation of these illegaldrugs.

Once these drugs hit our streets, now wehave the problem of drug addictions, deaths by drugsand our children being at risk of being marked for ei-ther distribution or the ingestion of these drugs.

Now this spirals onward to hospitals, drugaddiction facilities, streets needing to be cleaned upand money being spent on illicit drugs instead of ac-tual legal products like food, clothing, supplies, cars,etc. which will boost our economy.

The following are recently reporteddrug smuggling incidents.

Carpets imported from Pakistan, afterlanding at Pearson International Airport CBSA Of-ficers seized 20 kilograms of heroin that wasfound concealed in strings that were woven intothese carpets.

Along with the heroin, false ID’s andcash were also found.

The RCMP were called in by CBSA Offi-cers on site at Pearson Airport; arrested were fourmen from Toronto: Tajudeen Fanikayode, 52, SaidiSanni Olufeko, 38, and Peter Ajiri, 34, all of Toronto,along with Akeem Onaola, 46, of Mississauga, allwere charged with importing drugs into Canada, pos-session for the purpose of trafficking and conspiracy.

CBSA discovered 46 kilograms ofuncut cocaine hidden in a cargo container in theport of Halifax, NS that had been en route fromPanama to Montreal.

The container had 207 suitcases whichwith the utilization of X-ray detection equipmentdisplayed clearly that 10 of the suitcases had con-traband sealed in flat packages each containing4.5 kilograms of cocaine within the wall of the con-tainer.

The RCMP were called in and four men,all from South America, were arrested in Montreal.

A maverick group of drug smugglerswho were selling 20 kilograms of cocaine a weekon the streets of Montreal and its surroundingcommunities were finally arrested by the MontrealPolice. 40 arrests were made and these people arelinked to organized crime groups the Mafia,

West End Gang and Outlaw MotorcycleGangs in Montreal.

These mavericks are large-scale drug traf-fickers also were busted selling not only cocaine butalso marijuana, hashish and numerous other illegaldrugs. They were operating for the monetary benefitof not only themselves but also contributing to thesecriminal organizations. During the arrests both theMontreal Police and the RCMP seized in addition tothe drugs also $750,000 in cash, eight firearms andtwo indoor marijuana grow operations were discov-ered.

By Dawn Truell ~ CBS ~Businesses would be far more profitable if contrabandsmuggling could be stopped.

Sarnia, ON, CBSA seized over 123 kilo-grams of cocaine, worth $12 million, that waspacked in 105 small brick sized packages hiddenin a false bottom of a pickup truck while tow menwere entering Canada via the Blue Water Bridge.These men were attempting to smuggle in morethan 1,000 kilograms.

Highway 401 West, OPP Officer stopsa car for a routine traffic violation. During thestop, the officer began to suspect that the manbehind the wheel of the vehicle was carryingdrugs. The officer decided to conduct a search ofthe car, he discovered $745,000 in cash that heimmediately seized.

Upon further investigation the officer un-covered that the cash was linked to cocaine traffick-ers in Montreal. Harold Douglas Maybee, of Noyan,was arrested and charged with being in possessionof the proceeds of crime and money laundering.

U.S. CBP arrested two females, sepa-rately, attempting to smuggle $2,155,000.00 worthof cocaine at both the Pharr and the Hidalgo In-ternational Bridges recently.

These women were what the drug lordslike to call “transporters”. I’m sure you have all seenthe TV shows out there that depict the horrificness ofthose who transport drugs. Reason they do it is be-cause they get forced to and also for monetary rea-sons, they don’t seem to worry about the imminentchances of their being caught with the drugs in theirpossession, in their vehicles, drugs bursting inside oftheir bodies and killing them or worse yet that if theymake it to their destination chances are pretty highthat they will be killed.

One of the women, 19 years old,teenager in my books, was caught while driving a2005 Chevrolet Cobalt, she was referred for sec-ondary screening upon which during intrusive im-aging displayed 25 packages of cocaine weighing62.3 pounds valued at $1,994,000.00. The secondwoman, 18 years old, again a teenager, driving a2009 Ford Focus in which CBP seized $161,000.00worth of cocaine.

It is with great passion that I continue onmy quest to aid in the prevention of contraband smug-gling which unfortunately contributes to our society ona daily basis, killing our friends, relatives and sad toreport children as well. We all struggle to survive inthis downed economy, let’s not contribute to thewealth of the drug lords but to the wealth of our ownfamilies and to our great country Canada.

The unfortunatecluster of sui-cides by Cana-dian Forcespersonnel, serv-ing and retired,has understand-

ably drew a good deal of media at-tention, almost all, negative.

Much discussion in print andon the talk shows focused on the lackof support within the military for the vic-tims, inappropriate compulsory releaseprocedures and the stigma associatedwith mental illness causing personnelnot to admit they have a problem andseek help.

When the oft repeated com-ment is made that the suicide rate inthe Forces has been consistent overthe past decade and even a bit lowerthis past year it sounds terribly clin-ical as we are talking about peoplenot numbers and one suicide is onetoo many.

However, with a bit of context,perhaps numbers can be telling.

While an objective of zero isadmirable it ignores the facts thatsuicide is the second cause of deathin the Canadian male population be-tween the ages of 15 and 34 and thesuicide rate for Canadian males ishighest between the ages of 40 and59.

Those two categories compre-hensively cover the age distribution ofthe Canadian Forces personnel. Add tothese calculations the fact that the sui-cide rate in the US Forces has doubledover the same ten year period. Consid-ering the dramatic increase in the paceof operations at home and abroad for

our Forces personnel for the past tenyears surely it would follow that thenumber of suicides should have goneup dramatically. But they didn't. Couldthat be suggesting that the mentalhealth strategy and treatments imple-mented by the Forces are actuallyworking ? Probably.

With regard to the stigma asso-ciated with receiving treatment for men-tal heath it is interesting to note thedifference in attitude within the militaryand civilian communities.

The Canadian Centre for Ad-diction and Mental Health statisticsdiscovered that only 49 percent ofthe general population would social-ize with a friend who had a seriousmental illness. Only six, repeat sixpercent of Forces personnel return-ing from Afghanistan had a similarattitude. Seems our soldiers havesomething to teach us about toler-ance and understanding.

Much has been made regard-ing compulsory release proceduressuggesting injured personnel aredumped on the street by an uncaringmilitary that insists on retaining only fitindividuals capable of deploying onshort notice.

Reality-there are currently2,031 non-deployable personnel postedto the Force's Joint Personnel SupportUnit organization.

While there they undergo eval-uation and treatment according to theirillness or disability. Most will have fouryears preparation to transition to civilianlife or – and this is the priority – returnto operational duty. Since 2009, 1,291have done just that thanks to the Returnto Work Programs.

PTSD ~Canadian Forces Suicides ByLewis MacKenzie, CM,OOnt,MSC and Bar,CDMajor-General (Ret’d) PPCLI

Unfortunately, there is aknee jerk reaction when thewords, “Afghanistan” and “sui-cide” appear in the same sentenceannouncing another suicide.

There seems to be an as-sumption that service in a war zoneprobably caused PTSD which drovethe individual to suicide.

The fact is that the trig-gers for suicide are numerous andexposure to combat or even pres-ence in a relatively safe location ina war zone are not at the top of thelist. Divorce, loss of a loved one,loss of a job are frequently evenmore likely to generate suicidalthoughts. Tragically, suicide notesfrequently confirm this fact.

According to the experts thegreatest hurdle to treating mentalhealth victims prior to them consider-ing suicide is the individual not rec-ognizing that he or she has a mentalhealth problem.

Investigations to date havedetermined that that the vast majorityof soldiers committing suicide werenot receiving care for mental healthproblems and therefore classifiedas,“non-preventable”. That meansthe suicides were a surprise and themental illness that led to suicide wasnot identified by fellow soldiers, theleadership or the medical profession-als and as a result the opportunity fortreatment was missed. These resultsmirror similar findings in the civilianworld

There are 26 SpecialtyMedical Health clinics and sevenOperational Stress Support Cen-tres across the country.

Are they short of staff?Yes.

Is the shortage of fundsthe problem? No.

There is much competition formental health experts (Canada is thirdin the world for the consumption ofanti-depression drugs) and by its na-ture the military is parked in somepretty isolated areas.

That unattractive geographycombined with the unreasonable timetaken to work a hiring through the redtape within Public Works puts the militaryat a distinct disadvantage in the competi-tion.

Tragically, no program dedi-cated to removing suicide as an optionwill attain perfection.

The status quo in dealing with thechallenge will never be acceptable. Moremust be done but the fact that our NATOallies and comments from both the Cana-dian and American Psychiatric Associa-tions compliment our military's mentalhealth program should be reassuring andstand in stark contrast to the innuendo soprevalent in the popular media.

NO MAN’S LAND a Marchfor PTSD AWARENESS lead bySteve Hartwig & Jason McKenzie& Scott McIntyre McFarlane is anot for profit organization dedi-cated to public awareness ofPTSD and the improvement oftimely treatment for those suffer-ing.

Into No Man's Land is dedi-cated to improving quality of life forCanadian Veterans and front lineworkers in the RCMP, Ambulanceand Fire.

The march across Canada is afirst step at bringing PTSD out into theopen for serious discussion and to helpeliminate the negative stigmas associ-ated with mental illness.

The march across Canada is afirst step in educating the public aboutthe challenges many Canadians whosuffer with PTSD face everyday.

Through public, corporate andgovernment donations our second stepin our mandate to improve treatmentand access for our Veterans will be re-alized.

Into No Man's Land is aVeterans run organizationwith a clear agenda to see amajority of funds raised by theorganization go to the peoplesuffering with PTSD.

By Marching across Canadaand spreading a positive messageabout PTSD, Steve and crew are fo-cused on changing the perceptionsand stigmas associated with PTSD.

Leaving Victoria on June 23,2014 Steve will march 32 kilometersevery day augmented with driving withone rest day per week.

Jason and Scott will trade offmarching with Steve and driving thesupport vehicle. At the end of each daya cross ceremony is held to pay tributeto the PTSD fallen.

At the half way point,Batchawana Bay, the team will march50 kilometres in recognition of thosedealing with PTSD, and in respect ofthose that have lost their battle to it.Steve will carry 50 stones in his rucksack, and at the end of the march willerect a cairn, a man made pile of rocks,as a memorial.

The ten week march will takethe crew across Canada and finishingin St Johns Newfoundland in late Sep-tember.

We have developed a planbased on our Into No Man's LandTetrahedron that will work towardshealing all aspects of the individual.

Into No Man's Land was createdby people with PTSD for people withPTSD and will work at funneling a greateramount of funding directly to those inneed more so than the current foundationmodels. More information @http://www.intonomansland.com/index.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/Intonomans-land/info

First and foremost themarch is aimed at changing thepublic perception of PTSD. By put-ting a face to PTSD and bringing itto the public our goal is to createan environment throughoutCanada where those needing helpfeel comfortable about coming for-ward and asking for it.

Changing the perception andknowledge will be achieved throughengaging and educating the public.

This will be achieved by get-ting into the trenches and on the frontlines in as many communities acrossCanada as possible.

By starting the conversa-tion we hope more people will feelsafe getting help for PTSD and ul-timately lives may be saved.

The people asking for helpneed effective and comprehensivetreatment.

The current clinical modelisn't working according to those in thesystem and needs to be reconfig-ured.

By working with organiza-tions we can provide direct feed-back from those that have beenthrough the system and workingtowards implementing our recom-mendations for comprehensivetreatment.

Carolynne Miss May CTMXp3’d me at the RoadKing Truck Stopin Calgary AB, Canada.

I put the juice in my tanks and no-ticed the power change right off, I pulledScott Lake Hill, hit bottom at 100k and wentover top at 85k, and just split to direct atbotom because running 3.55 rears in myPete.

Never dropped below 1300 what amajor diffference.

Then unbelivable I got 8.48 mpgpulling fully loaded tri from Winnipeg MB toDead Man’s Flats.

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 January 2014, Repstar Agencies Inc., amulti-line manufacturer’s rep firm from Ile DesChenes, MB secured Master Distribution rightsto Xp3 for Canada. “Xp3 is a unique and impor-tant product for many Canadian businesses op-erating diesel powered equipment” says MarcPalud, President of Repstar Agencies. “Beingable to solve 10+ fuel related problems with anon-toxic, commercial grade concentrated for-mula is both convenient and profitable for alldiesel equipment users in the Canadian econ-omy”.

Xp3 is sold through select TruckStops, Warehouse Distributors and Dealersserving industries and customers operating alltypes of diesel powered equipment.For more information on Xp3 and for Dealer in-quiries, call Marc Palud at 1-800-507-4107 oremail [email protected] - www.XpLab.com

What are they?Can owner/operators and

fleet managers really improve per-formance and fuel mileage?

Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Justdrop in a magic “chip” and your rig sud-denly takes on super-powerqualities─able to accelerate up gradesfully loaded or even achieve better fuelmileage. Too good to be true? Not nec-essarily, as owners of a large number oftruckers already enjoy improved per-formance and economy by installing aprogrammer.

“I have seen a notable increasein fuel economy with the gauge tunerunit we have; about 15 percent,” saysJoe Parks, general manager of Romu-lus, Michigan-based Pilot Transport─adivision of United Road Services Inc.United Road is the premier auto trans-port company in North America, trans-porting nearly 2 million cars for all majorglobal vehicle manufacturers.

Given today’s price of fuel andthe escalation of power outputs, truckowners are searching for even theslightest of improvements. So, do en-gine programmers really deliver thegoods?

1. What exactly are these thingsand how do they work?

Whether known as program-mers, engine performance tuners, chips,or gauge tuners, these small electronicdevices are used to manage and optimizeengine performance on diesel trucks.

The term “chip” derives fromthe fact that a silicon integrated circuitacts as the heart of the device. “Pro-grammer” refers to the ability to go be-yond the vehicle’s firmware to adjustthe engine’s “tune” to the specificneeds of the driver. Some models offera “gauge” that the driver can viewwhile driving to see exactly how thedevice is helping.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Diesel Truck Engine Programmers

Guage tuners are nowfinding their way intothe trucks and fleets ofearly-acopting ownersand managers to im-prove performance indiesel applications.

Page 87: CANADIAN TRUCKING MAGAZINE AUGUST 2014

Purchased as an after-mar-ket item, a programmable tuner isessentially a single-purpose mini-computer that includes an on-dashor window-mounted monitor andcontrol panel, along with the neces-sary leads to connect with the stockengine control module.

These devices operate bymonitoring turbo boost pressure, en-gine RPMs, coolant temperature, air-flow, fuel rail pressure and otheroperating considerations such as trailerload, and then balancing these param-eters by changing the electronic tuningcharacteristics of the engine manage-ment system to yield optimized per-formance.

2. Do they increase miles-per-gallon?

“These tuners boost powerand torque, but improved fuel mileageis the main advantage; up to moremiles per gallon,” says Dave Brown ofPiedmont Peterbuilt, LLC in Greens-boro, North Carolina─a leading dealerof new Peterbilts, used trucks and af-termarket trucking products. “Our cus-tomers who have installed the tunerstell us there’s a 90-day payback onthem.”

For a fleet like that of PilotTransport, which operates severaltrucks, the savings add up quickly.

“Right now, our fuel costs areabout 72 cents per mile,” says JoeParks. “We mounted a Bully Dog pro-grammer on one truck and saved about8 cents a mile. Since we run about

600,000 miles a month, potentially themonthly savings could be huge [$0.08 x600,000 = $48,000]. In the particularmodel tractor that we have, it would beworth the expense to mount these units inall the trucks with that engine.”

American Falls, Idaho-based BullyDog Technologies is just one of the morepopular tuner manufacturers whose de-vices have found application in light, mid-dle and heavy duty trucking applications.

Some of the latest gauge tunerseven have a built-in driving coach that of-fers tips that help develop positive drivinghabits to improve fuel economy. Accordingto Edmunds, driving habits can increaseeconomy by up to 37%.

3. Do they improve speed andacceleration?

Using a programmer, it is possibleto increase diesel engine performance upto 120 horsepower and 240 lb/ft of torqueon a diesel truck depending upon themodel.

Programmers extract this powerby adjusting the operating conditions of theengine toward increased performance.

Perhaps adding a little more valvelift at high RPMs for maximum top-endspeed, or a little less lift to maximize torquewhen more pulling power is called for.

Part of the beauty of using pro-grammable tuners is that each driver isable to modify his or her own performanceneeds according desired operating condi-tions by choosing from available tunes.

The “driving coach” functioncan also provide feedback to optimizeperformance.

Page 88: CANADIAN TRUCKING MAGAZINE AUGUST 2014

“The Bully Dog unit helpsnewer drivers by telling them whereyour power is at and when to shift,”says Pilot Transport’s Parks. “We’redefinitely seeing a performanceboost. The driver said he’s pullinghills better.”

“I’ve had people who’ve beendriving for years, who told me theywere good drivers, but they’ve comeback later and told me that it has actu-ally educated them,” says Dave Brown.

4. If programmers are sogood, why don’t truck manufactur-ers put them in first?

To stay competitive, originalequipment manufacturers (OEMs)often produce only a few engine de-signs, which are used in a wide rangeof models and platforms, allowing themto sell trucks in a greater number ofmarkets. This saves them money, butat the expense of creating an opti-mized engine management system forevery application.

5. Do they decrease mainte-nance costs?

Today’s programmabletuners have advanced to the pointwhere they even provide safetyalerts and allow users to read anderase diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs). This way, owner/operatorscan run their own diagnostic checkto find out what the “check engine”light means and then erase thecodes themselves—helping to cutdown on expensive service calls tothe dealer.

6. Can they monitor enginefunction and prevent damage?

Modern gauge tuners also providea set of diagnostic functions that enhancesafety.

For example, if the engine coolantor oil starts to overheat, the gauge tunercan automatically recognize the condition.The device can also alert the driver with amessage on the panel display that notifiesthe driver what is happening and why. Thishelps the driver evaluate if it’s a critical sit-uation requiring immediate repair, or if hecan complete his run and get the problemresolved later.

“The Bully Dog units, for one, sup-ply real-time coolant temperature, as op-posed to the OEM gauges which often onlyalert you after the engine is already over-heating,” notes Brown. “Other real-timemonitoring features help the drivers visu-alize performance at any time.”

7. Are they hard to install?Until the advent of engine tuners,

the factory engine control modules re-mained inaccessible to all but the dealerand well equipped independent shops.

However, today’s gauge tunerscan be installed quickly and easily by at-taching leads from the control panel to theengine’s control module via the six or ninepin data port. Some models don’t evenneed access to the Internet. Instead, theycome pre-loaded with truck model/enginespecific software—much like a new com-puter that includes drivers for popular print-ers. After selecting the desired version, thetuner monitor prompts the do-it-yourselferthrough the procedure, ensuring thateverything goes smoothly.

Page 89: CANADIAN TRUCKING MAGAZINE AUGUST 2014

“We sell the Bully Dog tunersbecause anybody with only a littleknowledge of computers can sit intheir cab and install one,” saysBrown. “With older tuning optionsyou had to take the engine controlmodule off and send it somewhereelse to have it worked on, whichmeant extra downtime. But with thenewer designs you just plug it in andfollow the prompts on the screen.”

8. Do they cost a lot?Like everything else, you get

what you pay for; the more expen-sive units providing more features.Prices on the Internet range any-where from $2,800 on up to $3,000.Retail distributors charge about thesame.

That may seem like a lot up-front, but consider that it’s way cheaperthan buying a different truck; adding hard-ware to the existing one; or repairingdamage caused by an engine malfunc-tion that could have been avoided. The30-day guarantee offered by some man-ufacturers mitigates any second thoughtsabout giving these devices a try.

That kind of quick paybackprompts any truck operator to considerinstalling one of these gauge tuners, pro-grammers, chips, or whatever else youwish to call them.

57 this Year ~ Born in 1957 Our Celebrity Publisher Editor

Dave MacKENZIEBy ~ Angie Dola, VP Client Relations,CTMTime to poke fun at our

Celebrity Publisher Editor DaveMacKENZIE and who better than me,who knows him the best!

First take notice of the Pic-ture to the right of Dave after ahard week on the road.

When I talk hard, Dave is aperson who has driven professionallyfor over 41 years, yes I said 41, as hestarted delivering Pizza on his 16thbirthday.

Back in the Day, 1973 to beexact, Dave already owned his owncar bought from working, went in toDMV, wrote his beginners, thenwaited for a cancelled appointmentfor a drivers test and past.

Went to Angelos Pizza andasked for a pizza delivery job and gotit.

Now the next 41 years ca-reers in Military, Police, Intelli-gence and most important drivingall this time either part time or fulltime, big trucks or commercial ve-hicles.

It would take a magazine toput to paper what Dave has done butnow for the fun part!

I and some of his 9 chil-dren will go for rides in the Bigtruck with Dave. In 41 years he hasstories, but none as bad as this!

Dave’s younger kids havesmall bladders and are allowed topee in a water bottle and place it in abox for Garbage deposal.

One of the young ones didexactly that on this trip.

After Dave’s Son, took a Pee in thewater bottle he was thirsty and took Dave’s waterbottle from his cup holder for a drink, leaving be-hind the one full of fresh hot Pee.

After a good supper at one of Dave’s Fa-vorite Truck stops we hit dark black ribbon of High-way.

Dave got thirsty, reached down, took 2good gulps, then stopped and began swishing it inhis mouth confused, then in a panic put down thewindow to spit out a mouth full of Pee that blew backfrom the wind into his face, shirt and hair.

Paniced for his bottle of mouth wash, heswished and spit for the next 50 miles till we founda place to stop wash and change!

What more can I say. Happy BirthdayDave, Angie
