		<description><![CDATA[There are competitive venues for nearly every human endeavor: spelling bees, the Olympics, NASCAR, the World Cup, Miss Teen USA, the Soap Box Derby and, of course, the Guinness Book of World Records. Since 2005, the nation&#8217;s truck mechanics (or technicians, in the vernacular of the trade) have also had a contest to find their &#8220;best of the best&#8221;: SuperTech, an annual event that coincides with the fall meeting of the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC).  SuperTech, organiz&#8230;]]></description>

They&#8217;re building a complex that&#8217;s right out of a movie &#8212; except this one is interactive. At Wild West Junction in Williams, Ariz., 30 miles west of Flagstaff, visitors can eat, shop, sleep, be entertained and otherwise sample the Old West.  Friends Mike DuCharme and Jay Redfeather (above) share a lifelong fas&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s one thing missing from OshKosh Truck Co.&#8217;s new model: a driver! The lime-green TerraMax truck navigates traffic and avoids obstacles on the road without a human at the wheel.   But OshKosh isn&#8217;t trying to put professional drivers out of a job or make owner-operators obsolete. The vehicle is intended for military use only, and its creation was mandated by Congress to help save lives in combat. By 2015, one in three ground combat vehicles must be self-driving, in &#8230;]]></description>

Renovations to the North Wing of the Kentucky Exposition  Center are complete and will house new exhibitors such as the Environmental Protection Agency&#8217;s SmartWay initiative, devoted to fuel efficiency and other energy-saving measures.   Now in its 38th year, MATS is the trucking indus&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s automotive irony in the fact that the most distinctive feature of NASCAR&#8217;s new Car of Tomorrow is its detached rear wing &#8212; reminiscent of a 1970s-vintage Dodge Charger or Plymouth Superbird. And there&#8217;s even more in the hope that the new car will bring back old-fashioned racing.  Whether the latter will succeed remains unknown, but one thing is certain: The Car of Tomorrow is here today. After a 16-race tune-up in 2006, the Car of Tomorrow (COT) will roll out at&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the trucking world&#8217;s version of Ali vs. Frazier. Freightliner and International are in an all-out flame-war over the aerodynamic superlatives attached to their new Cascadia and ProStar models.  Freightliner struck first when it introduced its new Cascadia model at the end of August as the most aerodynamic Class 8 truck available. Putting the new truck up against the International ProStar, Kenworth T660, Peterbilt 386 and Volvo 780 in a wind tunnel test, Freightliner anno&#8230;]]></description>

It&#8217;s late December and deer season is in full swing in the Texas Panhandle. But my cousin Shannon and I aren&#8217;t here to chase whitetails. We are after quail. Joe, the rancher who owns this 9,000-acre corner of Texas heaven, has set aside his work for a few hours to join us. It&#8217;s been a good year for bobwhites, says Joe.     We uncase our shotguns, stuff shells into our pockets, &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone can benefit from a good stretching program, but for truckers it can drastically reduce the discomfort of long-distance driving, says Stew Smith, a former Navy SEAL and personal trainer. He recommends that anyone looking to start a fitness regimen &#8212; or just ease the everyday aches and pains of driving &#8212; start with a basic, daily 5-10 minute stretching routine.     &#8220;For truckers sitting for long periods of time and getting bounced around in their seats, their lower bac&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it seems dispatchers reward certain drivers with the best routes and punish others. How are assignments determined?  The dispatcher&#8217;s goal is to minimize empty miles for drivers, says Dr. Peter Swan, assistant professor of Logistics and Operations Management at Pennsylvania  State University. Larger carriers like J.B. Hunt use a computer program that looks six hours ahead and lets dispatchers know when a load needs to be picked up, who is going to be there, and if the dri&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Independent trucker Dave didn&#8217;t think there was much he could learn about sharing the road with bikes when he signed up for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation&#8217;s (MSF) basic rider course. A 30-year OTR driver, Dave had about every state Department of Transportation endorsement possible. In class, he was the wisecracker, joking about how easy the practice exercises were.  But motorcycle instructor and former trucker Jim Van Den Elzen of the Northeast Wisconsin Technical College rider t&#8230;]]></description>
