DESIGN & PRODUCTION Art Director: Richard Street Production Designers: Andrew Anderson, Timothy Smith This sunset, witnessed “at the trailing edge of what were tornado-like forces running across Oklahoma on July 5, 2010,” says the photographer, Alan Dunham, a driver with C.R. England, “is one of many fond memories I’ve been blessed with during my short time as an over-the-road driver.” Snapped at the Love’s stop off I-40 exit 71 in Clin- ton, Okla., Dunham’s shot wins our March “Fueling” photo contest, and he takes home a copy of Bryan Peterson’s Understanding Shutter Speed, as well as publication here, as prize. This month’s contest, with spring here and summer on the way, asks for pics of “Birds and Barns,” not necessarily together or in that order.

It featured Major Mark Savage of the Colorado State Patrol and Bryan Price of the FMCSA, speaking to: Go social for change As more and more of us get on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and the plethora of other online communities individuals are “becoming the media.” But few in the trucking realm are as far ahead as the husband-wife team of Allen and tered blog, AsktheTrucker.com, a related online talk-radio show exploring the issues covered in the blog and others in depth, and more than 4,000 Facebook fans, the Smiths have set the bar for what’s most definitely possible from the driv- er’s perspective. Now, the two have launched the 1st annual Truck Driver Social Media Con- vention, scheduled for October 15, at the Gold Strike Resort and Casino in Tunica, Miss. It’s not a free event, but the modest $89 reservation fee gets you much.
