Online A direct line to Dallas If you can’t make the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas, Aug. 26-28, boot up the old laptop to keep up with what’s happening there. For more information about the show, visit gatsonline.com. TRUCKING NEWS. Check OverdriveOnline.com daily for updates on industry announcements and other events at the show. FIT FOR THE ROAD. The health program sponsored by Overdrive’s sister magazine, Truckers News, will host Jasmine “Jazzy” Jordan, who recently completed a 3,000-plus-mile cross-country run to generate awareness about truckers’ insurance and health needs. Fit for the Road will be holding a 5K run and, with Healthy Trucking Association of America, also will sponsor a 1.5-mile walk. Check fit4theroad.com for updates on all events. Multi-media content The Truckers News’ Fit for the Road booth at the Great American Trucking Show will offer health screenings and visits by runner Jazzy Jordan and health columnist Jeff Clark. PRIDE & POLISH. Dallas is the most visible of all five Custom Rigs’ Pride & Polish venues this year, and Overdrive’s Custom Rigs will be posting photos of the hottest trophy contenders. Check CustomRigsMag.com. Find the truck stop that fits your needs A truck stop with your favorite food won’t be of much help if it lacks 24-hour road service when you need it. Find the stop that’s not just on your route but has what you want by using www.TruckStopGuide.com. You can search for facilities by state, route, inter- state, chain or radius of your location. Average fuel prices, updated daily, are available by state or by metro area. There’s no catch – the site requires no registration and it’s free, thanks to truck stops that want your business. The service is produced by ProMiles and brought to you by Overdrive and our sister trucking publications.
