October 2015 21 El Paso Driver Appreciation Hola from El Paso, Texas! We had another great, successful driver appreciation week. Everything went as planned with door prizes and caps for all drivers that came by. Drivers enjoyed the delicious food and drinks served to them. It was nice to sit and chat with the men and women that keep PTL going. Sometimes we take for granted how hard our drivers work. Drivers are the back bone of the trucking industry, without you all, I would not be here writing this for the newsletter. Thank you for all you do for us and our families. On my last newsletter I had mentioned how hot the weather was down here. It’s a lot cooler now, as it should be this time of year. After all was said and done, we managed to break another record, we went over 100 days straight with 90 degrees or above....old record, 80 days. I am glad this is over with until next year. I want to give a shout out to all of our drivers!! We really do appreciate all you do, don’t ever forget it. Be safe. That will be all for now, until next time, hasta la vista all! Your friends in El Paso Albert Silva Oscar Reyes Tony Barcenas GO COWBOYS!! 22 October 2015 El Paso Driver Appreciation October 2015 23 Recruiting The Recruiting Department loves Driver Appreciation Week!

Irvin knew he was going to be there for the night, and went to see how he could help at this cookout. Cecil from Love's reached out to us to let us know how thankful they were to have the help of Irvin and the success of their cookout. At the truck stop they were able to raise $700 to help the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! Suggestion boxes are located at the north lot in Murray, West Memphis and Indy. We want to hear from you! You don’t have to give us your name but if you do, we will call you with a response to your suggestion. 30 Kirk Jaster is a fine example of the kind of driver and the kind of person all truck lines are looking for. We are lucky we found him. He has trained approximately 40 trainees so far and they have been trained well! Thank you Kirk for everything you do everyday. We don’t know even half of it but we appreciate it all. Kevin Fox, Driver Assignment. Kirk is not only a great trainer but a good friend. I Kirk Jaster got lucky the day I met him. Nicholas Scanlon No matter what time of day, no matter how big or how small the problem is, I know he always is there for me. PTL is lucky to have him training here.

Thank you Allen for representing our company in such a manner. We appreciate all you do! Monica Todd, Customer Service. CLARENCE HALL IN 1962 I’d like to give a HUGE "attaboy" to this driver. We had a load from New Orleans to Cincinnati that was missed the first day so it was picked up a day late, and it was very important to make delivery on time. He made it with time to spare!! Even though everyone wasn’t polite to him, he was still very professional the whole time. Thank you so much for your hard work. I wish I could have you on all of my loads! Jodi Beene, Business Development. RANDELL PAULSON IN 19664 Randell did an excellent job on a hot load going to McCook IL. He was very patient when he was told to drop the trailer and then later when he was stopped from leaving and told that it was a live unload. He just smiled and asked what they wanted him to back up to. He was very professional and waited to be unloaded. Great job Randell! Alva Whitsett, Customer Service.

you! Mary Jo Snellen Candace Adams Ashleigh Eldridge Katie Williamson Deidre Malinauskas Emily Yarbrough The FMCSA states in regulation §396.9 (d) (1) that the driver of a Commercial Motor Vehicle shall immediately mail, fax or otherwise transmit the inspection report to the carrier within 24 hours. With that being said, always make sure that the copies that you are sending to the carrier are clear and legible. If, during the inspection, you have received a citation for any type of violation, you are also required to submit a copy of the ticket (front and back) with the inspection report. There are a couple of ways that you can submit these in a timely manner: 1. Fax to 270-753-1528 (ATTN: Gene Fielder/Sandy Burnett) or fax to 270-753-1730 (ATTN: Tabitha Jones) Either fax number will assure that the appropriate persons that handle these time sensitive documents will receive a copy. 2. Fax or scan both sides of the citation. Be sure to sign your name on the citation where required. 3. Transflo or Trip-pak scan the documents with a yellow log cover sheet. Then send message 21 and place an ‘X’ next to the number 9 over the Qualcomm with the 16 digit confirmation code. The code or number, will be a combination of letters and numbers i.e. LV01-2ab3-d45e6fg7. There may or may not be any dashes. 4. Out of service “FIX IT TICKETS”: a. All OOS inspection reports must be signed by the repairer. b. CA must be signed by the repairer AND a DOT Officer before being sent in. If, for any reason, there is a problem or question, call Gene Fielder or Sandy Burnett in Driver Services for assistance. Sandy Burnett TRUCK STOP COURTESY Gene Fielder Drivers, please do not block the fuel island when you are at a truck stop. The fuel island is for fueling only. Do not park there for your break time. This reflects badly on the company and sets you up for hostility from other drivers. Fuel up and move along to a parking spot please.

Some accidents may be attributed to “poor judgment” when actually poor timing may be involved. Most actions taken while driving involve time. Failure to allow sufficient time for a maneuver may result in an accident. When making a left turn across oncoming traffic, you need enough time to complete your turn without disrupting oncoming traffic. When passing a vehicle on a two lane road, you also need sufficient time to pass before meeting an oncoming vehicle. Have you ever noticed that when you are in a hurry, you tend to forget things? Many accidents happen when someone is in a hurry. It is human nature to forget things and take shortcuts when in a hurry. Therefore, always allow yourself sufficient time when starting a trip. If you anticipate bad weather or construction delays, leave earlier. As a defensive driver, timing is an important part of your decision making. Hesitation may result in your being involved in an accident you could have avoided if you had acted sooner. Avoid distractions that could slow your reaction time. Do not talk or text message on a cell phone while driving. Keep your eyes moving to avoid a fixed stare and loss of concentration. Take adequate breaks to reduce fatigue. If you doubt the importance of timing in accident prevention, think about the last time you heard someone say how close they came to almost avoiding an accident. Seconds can make a difference! A SPLIT SECOND . . .CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE • Allow sufficient time when maneuvering with oncoming traffic (i.e. left turns, passing on a two lane road) and when planning a trip, especially if delays are possible. • Act quickly to avoid an accident. • Do not allow distractions to slow your actions (Don’t talk or text message on a cell phone while driving). • Keep your eyes moving to remain alert. • Take adequate breaks to reduce fatigue.

Mike Alexander Director of Driver Services CHAIN REGULATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES COLORADO: Drivers of commercial vehicles must carry chains for their vehicles from September 1st through May 31st on Interstate 70 from MP 133 to MP 259 only. Failure to carry chains on this portion of highway may result in an inspection violation and the driver can be fined $50.00, plus a surcharge. Colorado chain law applies to every state highway, federal highway and interstate throughout the state. When the chain law is in effect, drivers will see signs along the roadway indicating which vehicles should chain-up. In some areas of the state, lighted variable message signs will also alert driver of the chain-up information. Drivers of commercial vehicles who ignore the chain law can be fined $500.00, plus a surcharge, for not putting chains on their vehicle when required. A driver can be fined $1000.00, plus a surcharge, if the vehicle is not chained when the law is in effect and as a result blocks the highway. Drivers can call ahead for road conditions and chain-up information for Colorado’s major highways at 303-639-1111. OREGON: Requires chains to be carried from November 1st to April 1st on all commercial vehicles. Drivers can call for information on road conditions and chain-up information at 800-976-7277 in-state or 541-889-3999 out of state. WASHINGTON: Requires chains to be used year round when the chain laws are put into effect. Drivers can call for information on road conditions and chain-up information at 888-766-4636. CALIFORNIA: Only requires vehicles to carry chains when they put the chain laws in effect. The chain laws can be put into effect at the discretion of the local vehicle enforcement office. Drivers can call for information on road conditions and chainup information at 800-427-7623 or 916-445-7623. The following states only require chains when the chain laws are put into effect. Beside each state are the numbers to call for road conditions and chain-up information. IDAHO: 208-336-6600 MONTANA: 800-332-6171 NEVADA: 702-486-3116, 702-793-1313, or 702-738-8888 UTAH: 800-492-2400 WYOMING: 307-237-8411, 307-635-9966, or 307-856-9966 WHEN THE CHAIN LAWS ARE PUT INTO EFFECT, TRUCKS THAT DO NOT HAVE CHAINS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIT UNTIL THE CHAIN REQUIREMENT IS REMOVED. PTL POLICY ON LENGTH, WEIGHT, AND BRIDGE LAW LIMITS Our policy is to get our units legal for all the states they will travel through. We want our drivers to use the following guidelines. For weight: use 12,000 for the steers, and 34000 for each tandem with a gross weight of 80,000 lbs. For length: use 41 feet or 6 holes from the front with the exception of 3 states: (California 40 ft., Michigan 40 ft. 6 in., South Carolina 40 ft. 6 in.). If you have to deviate from this standard, please get permission from your fleet manager on the Qualcomm. We offer the following suggestions to help you stay legal: 1. Always scale your load. Many of our shippers do not have a scale and put an estimated weight on the bill of lading. If the shipper does have a scale PTL still wants you to scale the load as soon as possible since most shippers do not have a certified scale. 2. If you have a problem with your load being either overweight or overlength. Please send your Fleet Manager a Qualcomm message explaining your problem. If your problem is overweight, please list the weight on all 3 axles plus the gross weight, plus your bridge law setting, (example - 6th hole), and your fuel amount, (example - 3/4 tank). Your Fleet Manager will send you instructions over the Qualcomm about how to proceed. Please wait until you get instructions over the Qualcomm from your Fleet Manager to return to the shipper or to move your axles. 3. Length limit messages may be sent to the truck. If you get a load to California you will receive a message to set your length at 40 feet or 3 holes from the front. Please get your load legal for all the states you will be traveling through. If you are dropping a California load in El Paso you still need to get the load legal for California before you leave the pickup area. 4. If you pick up a load at a drop lot or in a swap. You are still responsible to scale each load you hook to. Please keep in mind that some of our trucks weigh less than others so even if the load was legal for the first driver it may not be legal for your truck without some adjustment. The first driver may not have a co-driver and extra set of gear. 5. If you get into a situation during your trip where you have to apply your brakes hard to avoid an accident, do not hesitate to rescale your load at the next truck stop you get to with cat scales. We have had several instances where drivers had to do emergency braking which caused their cargo to move causing their load to become overweight. 6. If you do get a citation for being overweight or overlength. Please scan that citation both front and back with a yellow log cover sheet to Driver Services within 24 hours. If you scan the citation with your bill of lading please send Driver Services a Qualcomm message 21 with the confirmation number so we will know we need to get the paperwork from Finance. 7. Trailer tandem pins must be locked into the slide rail so the tandems will not move. If the pins will not retract or lock, send canned message 30 to road maintenance for repair. 8. Even an empty trailer must meet the state requirements for length limits. 52 October 2015 CSA Maintenance Score Card Preventable CSA Maintenance Violations and Preventive Actions Each month we study our CSA maintenance score to determine why we were cited for a violation. We are looking for trends and repeated failures that we can prevent by changing maintenance practices. At the same time, we evaluate each violation as to whether the driver could have found the defect prior to DOT finding it and prevented the violation with a thorough Pre-trip or Post-trip inspection. During August we were cited for 55 violations of DOT vehicle safety requirements. Our analysis of the available data shows that 47 (85%) of those violations should or could have been prevented by a pretrip inspection. Listed below are the violations that a proper pre-trip inspection would more than likely have prevented along with preventive actions. Violation Brake/air hoses chafing or kinking 6 tractors 16 trailers Windshield discolored or glazed 0 tractors Fire extinguisher discharged or unsecured 1 tractor Exhaust leak 0 tractors Oil or grease leak 1 tractor 0 trailers 3 tractors 14 trailers Lighting/reflective Tandem pin 2 trailers Tires 2 tractors 2 trailers PARTS KITS AVAILABLE Maintenance wants to help those drivers who want to help themselves instead of waiting on a service truck. We are issuing a parts kit through our parts room to drivers who ask for them. Extra lights, glad hand seals, spare fuses, air pressure and tread depth gauges or anything else that a driver requesting the kit is comfortable repairing can be included in the kit. We do not expect our drivers to be repair technicians but we see a lot of smart drivers who know if they can make a minor repair instead of waiting on a service truck, that will save them time and put money in their pockets. Pick one up in Murray or West Memphis. October 2015 53 Prevention Basics Air lines cannot rub against any other part of the vehicle. They cannot be kinked in any way. This is easily seen by a visual inspection. Cannot have any defect larger than what a dime would cover. They also may not be glazed or discolored in any manner. A discharged fire extinguisher is a violation. Fire extinguishers are secured in a metal mount with a latching metal band attaching the fire extinguisher to the mount. If the band is not latched, it is a DOT violation. Should be heard during a vehicle walk around with the engine running. Even a very basic pre-trip would have observed leaks prior to being found by DOT inspectors. The most common violation. All lighting should be tested at least daily if not every time you take a break. Either a light is observed to be working or not working. It is basic safety procedure to ensure the tandem pins are properly seated through the slider rail holes prior to moving the trailer after sliding the tandems. Visual inspection would have noted questionable tread depth, flat tires and exposed tread. “We cannot solve problems with the same thinking we had when we created the problems.” -Albert Einstein The Friendly Faces of Road Breakdown Jesse Clark Zac Larson Todd Dalton Donald Jones Scott Gray Dominque Turley Russ Ardebili Charles Kahl Penny Kare Chris Hunter William Mellon Stacey Campbell Tina Wolford Chris Byars Beth Miller ALERT – ALERT It is vital that you advise OTR Breakdown Maintenance at 800-259-1225 anytime you add coolant or water to the cooling system and/or oil to the engine. We recently lost an engine because the driver did not report adding coolant over several months. The end result of this was losing warranty coverage on the engine costing your company several thousands of dollars. Generally speaking, any time you have to add coolant or oil to the engine system, there is something going on inside the engine. Having a clear record of how much and when fluid was added helps us identify the problem and protect the engine under warranty. 54 October 2015 Preventive Maintenance Tips ALWAYS return your airlines and ABS cable to the holder mounted on the back of the cab when dropping a trailer. Would you believe we replace over 100 of these per month? The majority of these could be prevented by using the airline/cable holder. ALWAYS check your tires for damage everyday before a DOT inspector checks them for you. Visible damage to the sidewalls or tread can be easily spotted and corrected before you are cited by DOT. ALWAYS check your oil and coolant level everyday. Would you believe we have several trucks each month where the engine shuts down on the side of the road because of low oil level or low coolant level? ALWAYS return the dolly crank handle back to its stowed position when dropping a trailer. We routinely have to replace dolly crank handles where they were not stowed and someone backs a trailer into it and ripping the handle off. ALWAYS check your lighting every day, preferably at each stop. Lights can quit working at any time and it is one of the first things DOT inspectors look for during a road side check. ALWAYS check under your bunk for anything obstructing the air intake on the APU components. We regularly send equipment to shops for APUs not working to find that a plastic bag or some other item was blocking the intake vents. ALWAYS report problems to maintenance with the trailer you are dropping. Don’t leave problems for the next driver that picks up the trailer. ALWAYS make sure the trailer doors are securely fastened to the door holdbacks when backing to the door. We average re-hanging 56 doors per month. All of these could be prevented. ALWAYS remember your G.O. A. L. – Get Out And Look before backing. If every driver would follow these preventive repair tips, we could save thousands and thousands of dollars every month.

David Graham VP of Maintenance IN THEIR OWN WORDS I try to impress on every one of our 125 Maintenance department team members that we only have two customers, the driver and operations. Both are vitally important to the company’s mission of providing the company’s customers with on-time error free service. I try to lead our maintenance team by impressing upon our team members just how important drivers are to the company and the necessity of minimizing driver wait time on account of maintenance. For those of you who follow the monthly SPEAKING OF MAINTENANCE column, you are probably tired of my rambling. This month, I wanted to take a different approach. I have asked a couple of members of our Murray Maintenance team to express what the relationship between the drivers and maintenance means to them. I believe that every member of our maintenance team shares these folks commitment to doing it right the first time and doing it quickly. In any case, following are comments from randomly selected employees, in their own words. Penny Kare, Coordinator, OTR Breakdown Maintenance: To me, it’s not just a job, it’s what I enjoy doing. Helping a driver that is broken down or in a sticky situation is what I do. Knowing that I made someone else’s day a little better is my reward. To me, we all put our pants on one leg at a time. It takes a family to make a home and that is what drivers are to me, family, and PTL is our home. I’m here to get our drivers the quickest, most efficient service in their time of need. Along the way, I hope I can give them a laugh and put a smile back on their face. While they are out there doing their job, know I will be doing mine to help them when they need it. Drivers are PTL. Without the drivers moving the freight, PTL would be nothing. So I raise my hand to our drivers and say thank you. I enjoy every call I get and feel for each driver during a breakdown. I hope I have helped each one that has called me. I work for you, the driver. Together, we can reach our goals for success and Penny Kare take our home, “PTL” into the future. Tim Walls, Tractor Technician: As I see it, we are all one big team. Neither of us is successful without the other. I like to take that extra minute to talk to the driver and hear what they have to say. I like for them to know I care about their well-being and safety. I try to let them know that I appreciate the hard work they do. I always try to go that extra foot to make them happy with their truck. There you have it, two maintenance team employees selected at random who shared their feelings about the role they play in keeping our drivers moving and making miles. I am confident that you could approach our other 123 team members and get pretty much the same attitude and response from them. In maintenance, we believe that we are part of one big team taking care of our customers, our drivers and operations. If our customers like our service, then they are better able to serve the Tim Walls Company’s customers who we hope will use us again and again. Repeat, customers lead to more loads; more loads leads to more miles, and as Dennis Burkeen, VP Operations, once said, “miles make smiles”. Thanks for reading. Our entire PTL Maintenance team wishes you a safe and maintenance free trip. 56 October 2015 Driver Support Is Here To Help You! Driver Support’s goal is to assist all our drivers with any questions or concerns regarding their career at PTL. When you express your concerns, we follow-up with the appropriate department and give you a timely response. We would LOVE to help you IMPROVE your Miles! Contact Nick, Doug, Matt or Steve at 877-343-1615 to learn more about the “Big 5”. Nick Shell Matt Shahan Doug Staggs Steve Tucker CONGRATULATIONS TOP ACHIEVERS! 16526 Raymond Thomas - He logged 12,723 miles in August and his monthly average for the past 5 months is 10,904! Raymond thanks his fleet manager, Dale Torsak, for his help. PTL sends out our thanks for his 4 years of service! 15161 George Brown - He is a consistent high miles driver and has very few complaints! PTL appreciates his 2 years of hard work and dedication! 16687 Awudu Amadu - He has been with us for a year and so far has averaged above 9,500 miles per month. He knows the Big 5 and syncs up with freight patterns. Good Job! Our Big 5 Successful Driver Tips! 1. Aim to average driving 8 hours, 45 minutes a day; not 10 or 11 hours. You have 70 hours, divided by 8 days, which equals 8.75 or 8 hours 45 minutes to drive on the average day. If you aim to drive closer to 9 hours a day instead of 10 or 11, that should keep you running on recaps and keep you from running out of hours or running low on them. (If you are part of a team, make sure that both of you are not sleeping in.) 2. If your pre-trip walk-around in the morning takes less than 7 minutes, you can flag it as off duty. For your posttrip at the end of the day, the minimum is 10 to 15 minutes on duty. Please call Logs at extension 333 if you need more details. 3. Unless it’s a firm appointment, arrive at the customer ASAP and find out in person, not over the phone or QualComm, if you can deliver early. If the answer is no, call Driver Services for a safe and legal place to park. 4. Spend an hour or less between ETA/PTA to keep the planner’s attention. 5. For home time each month, there are two weeks which are slower for freight; our top runners go home the weekend between those 2 weeks for 4 days. Therefore, the other 2 weeks of the month are the busiest, when our top runners make themselves available. Our top runners also do not stay out for more than a month as this leads to burn-out and/or pushed out ETA/PTA.

Nearly 70% of all the freight tonnage moved in the U.S. goes on trucks. Without the industry and our truck drivers, the economy would come to a standstill. To move 9.2 billion tons of freight annually requires nearly 3 million heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and over 3 million truck drivers. Simply – without trucks, America stops. Paschall Truck Lines is proud to rank among the nation’s top 100 trucking companies and to play a significant role in the economy of our area and our nation. The men and women who drive trucks are the unsung heroes of the American highway and our economy depends on trucks. Professional truck drivers who serve this nation, are among the safest of all drivers, and are dedicated to safety on our highways and in our workplaces, to the industry they work in, and to the citizens of the United States of America.
