		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Saturday afternoon in Nashville, and in a few hours the Grand Ole Opry radio show will begin. Right now there are lights and sound to be tested, songs to be rehearsed. Flanked by members of his own band, the Opry house band and a nine-member gospel choir, Trace Adkins stands silently on the Grand Ole Opry House stage. Once everything is tuned up and turned up, the music begins. Adkins, dressed casually in a white T-shirt, jeans and boots &#8212; plus a black cowboy hat, of course &#038;m&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Now more than ever, it&#8217;s important to get the most bang for your buck when you purchase parts and accessories for your truck. Here are a few items to enhance your rig that are handy, practical/functional, and look good too! Hood wing or aero style bug shields. There are a lot of manufacturers and styles of bug deflectors, from the small stainless wing style, the smoked acrylic style, to the polished stainless steel aero type. These deflectors really cut down on the bugs that cover your &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I never thought it would happen. In my more than 30-year trucking career, I&#8217;d avoided the experience. But the laws of probability caught up with me. It happened not long ago on the kind of night that has me saying: &#8220;nighttime is my time.&#8221; I was surprised to see the scalehouse open after dinner time. The state coffers being low these days, I guessed the longer hours were due to &#8220;revenue enhancement&#8221; operations. No big deal. It&#8217;s my standard practice to wear my&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Walk into the Nashville, Tenn. TA and chances are you will come upon a group of drivers sitting around with guitars, singing their hearts out. And anyone can join in the fun. After all, when you&#8217;re located in the heart of a place known as Music City, it makes sense to have your own music room. &#8220;Every other Thursday we have a karaoke night outside,&#8221; says Store Manager Virginia Kirk. &#8220;We have a big cookout, people get up and sing all kinds of music &#8212; but mostly count&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that the Road King To Your Health column is off and running in the last few issues, truckers have been responding positively to it and writing for information. Many asked about magic weight loss pills and miracle diets. Do they work? If they did, there would be fewer overweight people in America. Weight loss pills, and most diets for that matter, are both ineffective and potentially harmful; long-term health-oriented programs are the only truly effective way to lose weight and keep i&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;d think avoiding an elk or moose wouldn&#8217;t be so difficult, considering how large these animals are. Of course, when traveling at night on an interstate, those big lumbering creatures sure can surprise a driver. But the damage and high cost of these collisions can be even more surprising. Marcel Huijser, a research ecologist at the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University, notes that the average cost to drivers for every deer hit is $6,600. That number jumps &#8230;]]></description>

Here&#8217;s just a sampling of his lyrics: <br />I grew up on a working man's wage<br />Blood, sweat and tears on every dollar he made<br />For the little he earned there was so much he gave<br />And I hope I am worthy of a working man's wage<br />&#8212; &#8220;Working Man&#8217;s Wage,&#8221; 1999]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hated to give it back. I borrowed an orange 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 version from Dodge for a test drive. It&#8217;s a retro-look, thoroughly modern version of the two-door &#8220;Pony Car&#8221; sensation first introduced in 1970. The car definitely has some faults . . . but who cares? It&#8217;s low, and hard for an old-timer like me to get into . . . but who cares? The brakes coat the wheels with brake dust. The &#8220;C-pillar&#8221; (supporting the roof) is so wide it makes backing ou&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With safety belt use mandatory in most states and a federal requirement for commercial vehicle drivers, it&#8217;s surprising that so many truckers still refuse to buckle up. Many companies are taking steps to encourage use. Take the spread of bright orange or green high visibility seat belts. Available from Freightliner, Kenworth, Mack, Peterbilt, Sterling and Volvo, the colorful belts from LifeGuard Technologies let anyone see that a driver is strapped in.&#8220;From a fleet&#8217;s standpoi&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As 2010 draws closer, there is ever more discussion about the issues, technology and products coming into the marketplace to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&#8217;s more stringent diesel emission standards. These new regulations will dramatically reduce discharges of both particulate matter (soot and ash) and nitrogen oxide (NOx). Particulate matter is formed by the incomplete combustions of fuel in diesel engines. Nitrogen oxide is the generic term for a group of highly reactive&#8230;]]></description>
