26 | Overdrive May 2017 Logbook Stephanie Klang of Fidelity, Missouri, has been named winner of the 2017 Overdrive's Most Beautiful con- test. Klang and Fred, her 17-year-old cat, travel the country for CFI. The America's Road Team Captain, who served a 2013-14 term, has been trucking for 37 years. Her early days were spent driving team, but she's been solo for nearly 30 years and 3 million miles with CFI. Klang said she enjoys being a role model for wom- en and girls interested in a trucking career. She's work- ing with a Girl Scout Troop, speaks to high school classes, appears on safety panels and handles CFI's ride-along requests for media members and elected officials. After growing up in a hardscrabble life, Klang was determined to find a career that would provide financial security. "Once you can take care of yourself financially, that's the true definition of independence for women," she said. Klang will be featured in the June Overdrive and will be presented at The Great American Trucking Show in Dallas, Aug. 24-26. – Overdrive Staff • Go online to www.iowa80.com and request your FREE CATALOG of the finest selection in Chrome and Professional Trucking Accessories! • Or Call Toll Free – 866-4-IOWA80 (866-446-9280) • Shop online today! www.iowa80.com • w a F t C P A • 8 (8 • Sh Truck Accessories For The Professional Driver Tr Tr T u ru r ck Accessori ri r e ie i s Fo Fo F r Th Th T e Pr Pr P o ro r fe fe f ssio io i nal Dri ri r ve ve v r GET YOUR FREE CATALOG!

A bill introduced last month would make California and Wisconsin the only two states that offer signifi- cant legal protections to commercial new-truck buyers. TWO VIRGINIA contract mail carriers for the U.S. Postal Service and four company officials were charged in a 126-count indictment with conspiracy, falsifying records, false statements, wire fraud and money laundering. Beam Bros. Truck- ing and owner Beam Bros. Holding Corp. were charged with making trip schedules that violated hours of service regulations, falsifying logs to hide HOS violations and failing to pay employees for all hours worked.
