North to Alaska -- well almost, Fort Saint John, B.C. anyway!

Friday, February 18, 2005

This trip started out with four of our trucks (153-Dale, 170-Jimm, 171-Rudy and 328-Robert) headed to Wisconsin with loads of trailer crossmembers destined for two seperate Stoughton trailer plants one in Stoughton, WI and the other in Brodhead,WI. Then it was over to our reload site in West Allis, Wisconsin a suburb of Milwaukee for the start of our 2054 mile journey with the loading of four large vessels, one for each of us. These vessels were the hydraulic pressure and return tanks for the largest OSB (Oriented Strand Board) press in North America.

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

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

So you think you can't write an article (pushaw)!

Saturday, July 17, 2004

I'm asking drivers and those who deal with us to write stories about your experiences and e-mail them to me. Now I realize that at least some of you may be experiencing finger lock up at the mere thought of typing out a bunch of words then have them published along with your name for the world to see.....
