		<description><![CDATA[    Forget Steve McQueen. Bullitt made the Ford Mustang a star.   While some folks like nothing better than trivia contests about actors and their roles, plenty of gearheads get the same pleasure recalling the wheels those actors used. The Internet Movie Car Database &#8212; www.imcdb.org &#8212; is for them. It offers photos and information about cars, motorcycles and trucks that have appeared onscreen.   Though originally devoted to four-wheelers only, the website quickly added motorcycles a&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    For any country songwriter, getting the call that the legendary George Strait has recorded your tune is excitement enough. But for Nicole Witt, it had a more personal meaning. &#8220;Brothers of the Highway,&#8221; a song she co-wrote with Doug Johnson and Kim Williams, is about the industry her dad devoted his career to &#8212; trucking.  &#8220;My dad worked for Roadway Express for 32 years doing every job under the sun &#8212; except driving!&#8221; she says with a laugh. &#8220;He star&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    The next time man lands on the moon, he&#8217;ll have a brand new set of wheels. As NASA prepares for a 2020 mission that will put a man on the moon for the first time since 1972, a new generation of concept vehicles are being dreamed up to meet the needs of lunar exploration.   The first-ever lunar truck, now in development, is a &#8220;tricked out&#8221; version with gold trim. It features an active suspension and six-wheel drive with independent steering for each wheel. The design also &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    It&#8217;s nice to be appreciated for something you do. And I&#8217;m a big fan of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (Aug. 24-30), which brings public attention to the difficult job truckers do.   But why don&#8217;t those involved in the logistics supply chain thank truckers on a more regular basis? A lack of appreciation can cause reduced performance and promote a poor attitude. Sincere appreciation, on the other hand, has the opposite effect.   When I got my first long-haul trucki&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    Alton Jones is a big fan of country music, but one song he doesn&#8217;t care too much for is &#8220;Too Cold At Home,&#8221; a catchy number by Mark Chesnutt that climbed the charts back in 1990. It&#8217;s not that Jones doesn&#8217;t like the song. He just doesn&#8217;t agree with the lyrics. In that song, Chesnutt croons, &#8220;Too hot to fish, too hot for golf, too cold at home.&#8221; Jones, a professional bass angler from Waco, Texas, isn&#8217;t sure about the golf part, but too h&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    The intent of this article is to inform you how to get ready for those truck beauty contests! Maybe next time I will give you &#8220;The Boss&#8217; Top 10 List&#8221; for getting your truck ready for the Show-n-Shine, but for now let&#8217;s focus on mental preparation, shall we?  There are dozens of events to attend, from the big shows like MATS and GATS to a host of laid back fairground shows like Waupun, Carlisle and the Big Iron Classic. Regardless of what type, these words of wisdom &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    The town of Franklin, 20 miles south of Nashville, is a tranquil community with elm-shaded streets, neat homes and quaint little shops on the town square. But look closer and you discover dark reminders of one of the bloodiest days in American history.  Three blocks from downtown, the historic Carter House and several of its out-buildings remain pock-marked by hundreds of bullet holes, and a couple of miles down the road at Carnton Plantation the wooden floors remain stained dark by the bl&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    Fitting fitness into a day&#8217;s schedule is the dilemma we all face. Exercising is tough after long hours of working, but a missing component for far too many people in America. Those who struggle to find a good chunk of time to set aside for exercise can manage to get an effective workout done in just 15-20 minutes prior to starting work for the day and 15-20 minutes after work is done for the day. Even if that exercise is a simple walk before breakfast and after dinner, a 15-20 minute&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    The first time Carl Edwards executed his trademark victory backflip it was pure exuberance; now it has become a regular expectation.  &#8220;When I won my first race [in the NASCAR truck series in 2003] I was excited and the adrenaline was pumping and I did a backflip on the spur of the moment,&#8221; explains Edwards. &#8220;The fans and the media liked it, so the next time I won I did it again. And again. And gradually I realized I&#8217;d started something that I couldn&#8217;t stop. Ev&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    Truck drivers have always been a resilient lot, and they always will be  I have a confession to make.   When it came time to plan this issue, which we always devote to National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, I had no ideas.   Times are hard for a lot of drivers as the price of fuel and general economic trends affect the business. We wanted to acknowledge that, but we also wanted to offer something positive to our readers.   As we threw out possible story ideas and rejected one after anoth&#8230;]]></description>
