JOEY KILMARTIN RECEIVES
TRUCKLOAD CARRIER
ASSOCIATION KAI NORRIS
SCHOLARSHIP
Joey “NaviJoey” Kilmartin of Driver Services
has received the $3,250 Kai Norris Sholarship
from the Truckload Carriers Association. Joey
is a senior at Murray State. After graduation
he plans on staying at PTL and use his
knowledge of Information Systems as well
as his commercial driving experience to help
bring technology to our drivers. Joey says that
his finances can be especially concerning with
a son at home and trying to balance school
and provide for his family. Thanks to TCA’s
most charitable gift, that burden has been
greatly reduced. Congratulations Joey!

RANDY DILL IN 19799
I want to give a big atta boy to this driver. We got him to
drop his load early and make a critical pick up in Eddyville
KY after the original driver had missed it. Thanks Randy
for being there to help us out! We appreciate all you do
for PTL! Dennis Burkeen, VP of Fleet Efficiency.
DAVID BRITTON IN 16565
David was planned to recover a load at the drop lot in
Fairless Hills PA. He sent in a loaded call at 12 minutes
after midnight and was set to deliver at 4:30. The weather
was a mess but David delivered at 3:27 and made a good
customer very happy! Good job David! Tony Barcenas,
Fleet Efficiency.
CHRISTOPHER GRIFFITH IN 16050
Special thanks to this driver for his vigilance in driving
through icy roads in Texas to deliver a load to Dallas on
time. Our customer was tracking this load closely due
to the time-sensitive nature of the arrival and was very
pleased with the on-time delivery in inclement weather
conditions. Thanks Christopher for a great job! Georgie
Peterson, Customer Service.
TYRA WELCHEL IN 19707
We would like to thank Tyra for being such a huge help

MENTORING THE NEXT GENERATION
Trainers have a tremendous impact on new drivers. You take a trainee straight from school
and teach him or her what they don’t learn in school. We understand that drivers have a
tough job and that inexperienced trainees have a lot to learn before they are ready to be on
their own. We only use our best drivers to train our new drivers. That is where you come in,
helping a new driver the same way that your trainer helped you to learn a tough new job. At
the same time that we are training a new driver, we have to run the truck enough miles to
make sure it maintains profitability. As a trainer you will be paid your rate of pay, not team
pay, but your rate of pay for all the miles the truck runs and that includes the miles that your
trainee drives. If you think about it, you have two people in the truck, you could run 14 to 16
hours a day and this makes it very possible to run 3,000 to 4,000 miles per week. This leaves
time for both drivers to sleep at the same time so trainers are not sleeping while trainees
are driving. As a trainer, you will get a double bunk truck, one of the nicest and newest in
the fleet. Remember, someone taught you how to drive, you did not wake up one morning
knowing how to double clutch and pull a 53’ trailer for a living. I bet on any given day you see
a truck doing something unsafe or wrong and you think to yourself “where did he learn to
drive?” Here is an opportunity to help fix some of those problems by teaching a new driver the
correct and safe way to do the job. As Employee-Owners, we all have a stake in the Company.
Becoming a trainer is a way to ensure our future success by passing your knowledge along to
the next generation of drivers.
• You get paid your normal rate for all the dispatched miles the truck moves.
• The average active trainer ran approximately 3,000 miles per month more than the
average solo driver in 2014.
• You get a double bunk truck, the newest and nicest in the fleet.
• You and your Trainee can run as many miles as possible. The Trainer is not required to
sleep while a trainee is driving.
• It is not forbidden either. It is up to the trainer.
• The main thing is that the trainee must run more than half of the daily miles.
• After the Trainee has driven 5,000 miles and passes his upgrade test you will receive a $100
bonus.
• After the Trainee has run 40,000 miles as a team with another Trainee we have upgraded
your bonus from $100 to $400!
• As an Employee-Owner you can ensure our future success by training our new drivers to
drive a fine line, correctly and safely.
If you would like to become a trainer: Send MSG 21 “Trainee Request” or send an email to
[email protected] or call Driver Assignment at Extension 285.

MAINTAINING PROPER TIRE INFLATION
Mason Lusk
During a driver’s daily inspection, tire pressures on both their tractor and trailer should be checked and
adjusted if needed. Tire costs, CSA point’s penalties and driver downtime are all reasons for each driver to check
their tires daily and be pro-active in reducing problems.
Each time a tractor or trailer enters a PTL Maintenance shop it is inspected and the pressures for each wheel
are checked and adjusted if necessary. The fact remains that the
most important person in the management of the tire condition is

Hola from El Paso, Texas!
Winter is almost over with! It has been a cold one, especially when you live in a desert. We are just not used to
the thermometer going below freezing, it’s been harsh.
We got a new lane from one of our shippers to Wilmer TX, just outside of Dallas. We should be seeing any
where from 2-3 loads a day. It’s a short run but the volume of loads will make up for it.
A while back I mentioned all the construction going on around here. Bad news, it’s going to continue for maybe
another two months. This was scheduled to be done by March or April but with all the bad weather that we have
been experiencing it has been extended for two more months. We are now looking at June. Be patient, there is light
at the end of the tunnel.
Even though the cold wintery weather is still hanging around, especially up north, it’s funny to remind everyone
that Easter is just around the corner. It sounds
funny talking about Easter when half the
country is still experiencing snow and freezing
temperatures but it’s true. I just want to wish
everyone a happy Easter, be safe and warm.
This will be all for now, until next time,
hasta la vista!
Your friends in El Paso, Texas.

Women in Trucking
DIRECTOR OF SAFEY LEA WELLS
Lea started working for Paschall Truck Lines 32 years ago in accounts receivable. Lea’s current role is the Director
of Safety where she handles the legal affairs for the company. Throughout her 29 years in the Safety Department,
the Safety staff has grown from two people to approximately 50 personnel. Lea has also had the opportunity to
travel the country for PTL. She attends seminars, trucking industry conferences, and provides expert testimony for
any court proceedings for the Safety Department at PTL. Lea has watched PTL flourish from a small company to
the 250-million-dollar company it is today.
When Lea started her career with PTL, there were
very few women in the trucking industry. She has
witnessed a significant increase of females, both
in the office and driving trucks. Before her career
at Paschall Truck Lines, Lea never knew about the
opportunities that are available in the trucking
industry. She would love to encourage more women
to pursue a career in trucking. She has been a mentor
to many women in the office, and helped them be
more confident and has nurtured their growth in
the company. She has taught them to stand out and
has encouraged them to be successful women in
trucking, much like herself.
With the many years that Lea Wells has been in
the trucking industry, she has grown to become a
very well-known and well-respected individual. She Executive VP Stephens and VP of Safety John Hayman
has become a woman that others strive to become recently presented Director of Safety Lea Wells with a
in their career. She is able to smile and laugh and letter of gratitude for her years of service to PTL. Left to
make someone feel at ease, even though she might right, Tom Stephens, Lea Wells and John Hayman.
be handling a very stressful safety situation. She is
able to receive the utmost respect from an individual without demanding it—it just comes naturally when you
are in a room with her. She is the mentor for every woman at PTL and is the epitome of a professional female, a
working mother—she is what you want for this industry or any industry. She has admiration for everyone around
her, regardless of their status—she sees everyone as equals.
She will celebrate 36 years of marriage with her husband in May 2015. Lea’s husband has always encouraged her
to pursue her goals and dreams in life. She truly enjoys her career at PTL and all of the co-owners that she works
with. Lea says that at PTL every day is different and that is what makes it so exciting.
Not only does the trucking industry have a very male dominated
culture, we haven’t always reached out to women to invite them
to join us. Women In Trucking addresses obstacles to encourage
women to enter careers in the trucking industry and works towards
changing the image of truck driving. We would like to encourage all
Paschall Truck Lines employees, drivers and office staff, to become
a member of Women In Trucking!

ACCURATE ODOMETER READINGS
It is very important that we get an accurate odometer mileage reading every time you fuel. At
the pump, after you swipe your fuel card and enter your driver code you are asked for an odometer
reading. We need the lifetime miles on the tractor not trip miles or other information that might be
displayed.
Below are examples of what you might see on your International or Freightliner truck. The smaller
mileage figure with TRIP MI or
FREIGHTLINER
TRIP MILES is NOT the number INTERNATIONAL
we are looking for. These are
miles that you can reset from
time to time. In every case the
largest mileage figure you can
find and the words MILES or MI
IS the number we are asking you
to
record. Naturally this mileage figure
will be larger than the number you
entered at your previous fuel stop.
Do not input the decimal or tenth of
a mile figure.

Speaking of Maintenance . . .
David Graham
VP of Maintenance
FREIGHTLINER CASCADIAS AND DEF FLUID
In mid-September, we started rolling out our new Freightliner and Navistar tractors. This rollout will
include 200 Freightliner Cascadia Evolutions with Detroit DD-15 engines and 10 Internationals with the new
N-13 International engine. We are excited about adding this new equipment to our fleet. Both tractors offer
the latest upgrades in fuel management technology and we believe we will see a major MPG performance
impact from these groups of tractors.
These trucks are equipped to our standard PTL specifications including automated transmissions. Some
drivers do not like the automated transmissions until they drive them and then they don’t want to give them
up at trade time. One thing for sure, the automated transmissions do not fatigue a driver as much as having to
depress the clutch pedal numerous times a day and leaves you feeling less tired at the end of a long day.
Drivers receiving these new trucks will notice one other major difference that has not been in our fleet
before. The Freightliner Cascadia trucks are equipped with DEF engines. DEF is a liquid that is used in the
after-treatment system to reduce emissions. It is housed in a small tank generally located on the frame rail
behind the skirting. A tank of DEF should last more than one fill up, but it is always a good idea to keep the
tank topped off, because if you run out of DEF, the engine will de-rate and you will be stuck on the side of the
road.
DEF is made from pure nitrogen and water and when mixed with exhaust gases from the engine, a chemical
reaction takes place that reduces the harmful engine emissions. The DEF fluid is freezable and is stored in a
tank which is heated for winter operations.
While the exhaust system uses DEF to mix with the engine exhaust gases safely and without major risks,
the same cannot be said for the engine. DEF will not process safely through the engine fuel system; therefore
it is imperative that you never put DEF in the truck’s fuel tanks. The manufacturer has installed alert decal
warnings and even made the fill tube to the DEF tank a different size. The diesel pump handle will not fit
into the DEF tank, but unfortunately, the DEF pump handle can fit into the diesel tank and this is where the
problem can come from.
CAUTION: IT IS VITAL THAT DEF FLUID NEVER BE ADDED TO THE TRUCK’S DIESEL TANK.
Let me say it another way:
NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, PUT DEF FLUID IN THE DIESEL TANK.
There are well documented cases where DEF liquid has been added to the diesel tank that has caused
major engine damage. Adding DEF to the diesel tank WILL damage the engine. Let there be no doubt about
that. This repair is never covered by warranty and will typically cost between $12,000 and $22,000 to repair
depending on the severity of the engine damage plus the down time cost. It is one of the most serious mistakes
that a driver can make.
We are schooling each driver receiving one of the DEF engines on correct fueling procedure. We know that
each driver has been well instructed regarding DEF usage, so quite frankly, I cannot understand how someone
can still make this mistake after all the training and briefings they receive before getting their tractor.
There is only one take away from the point of this month’s article:
Never, never, never allow yourself to make the mistake of adding DEF fluid to the diesel tanks on your
tractor.
Thanks for reading. Our entire PTL Maintenance team wishes you a safe and maintenance free trip.

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 February we were cited for 52 violations of DOT vehicle safety
requirements. Our analysis of the available data shows that 41 (78%) of those
violations should or could have been prevented by a pre-trip 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
2 tractors
9 trailers
Windshield discolored or glazed
0 tractors
Fire extinguisher discharged or unsecured
3 tractors
Exhaust leak
0 tractors
Oil or grease leak
0 tractors
0 trailers
7 tractors
14 trailers
Lighting/reflective
Tandem pin

Tires
1 tractor
3 trailers
Attention Drivers:
While at the Memphis
drop lot, take
advantage of the
scales located next to
the shop at NO cost to
us. Just observe and
obey all instructions.
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.”

Accident Prevention
Lea Wells
Director of Safety
PREVENTING FIXED OBJECT ACCIDENTS
When you think of the general circumstances, a fixed object accident is preventable and should not happen.
Regardless of size or location, a fixed object can be avoided if the driver is observant and takes appropriate action.
The key to seeing a fixed object is to always be looking for fixed objects. Drivers who say they failed to see
a fixed object before an accident were not observant or paying attention. Sometimes a driver assumes there is
adequate clearance when there isn’t. In the case of a dumpster which has always been near the loading dock, has it
been nudged into the path of a trailer being backed up to the dock?
Make sure your vision is not obscured by dirty windows and mirrors.
Clean them during pretrip inspections. Get out of your truck to check
your clearance; don’t assume you have room. In tight areas on private
property, watch for deep pot holes that could result in your vehicle tipping
into a fixed object. Watch for overhead wires that may be too low. You
may not clear building overhangs and overhead doors, especially if your
vehicle is empty and/or there is a build up of ice and packed snow.
There are places where you can not physically enter. You will encounter situations in which you need to ask for
something to be moved such as parked cars. If your request is denied, call your immediate supervisor.
Fixed object accidents are embarrassing because the driver is always at fault. Protect your safe driving record
by being observant and mindful of hazards.
Preventing Fixed Object Accidents
• Clean mirrors and windows during pre-trip inspections.
• Get out of your vehicle and check blind spots to the side and rear.
• Avoid potholes that can tip your vehicle into a fixed object.
• Watch for low overhead wires.
• Check building overhangs and overhead door especially when your vehicle is empty on packed snow.
• A dumpster, parked vehicle, etc. may need to be moved.
In case you were wondering about 10-codes . . .
The development of the 10-codes began in 1937, when police radio channels were limited to reduce use of
speech on the radio. Credit for inventing the codes goes to Charles "Charlie" Hopper, communications director for
the Illinois State Police, District 10 in Pesotum, Illinois. Hopper had been involved in radio for years and realized
there was a need to abbreviate transmissions on State Police bands. Experienced radio operators knew the first
syllable of a transmission was frequently not understood because of quirks in early electronics technology. Radios
in the 1930s were based on vacuum tubes powered by a small motor-generator called a dynamotor. The dynamotor
took from 1/10 to 1/4 of a second to "spin up" to full power. Police officers were trained to push the microphone
button, then pause briefly before speaking; however, sometimes they would forget to wait. Preceding each code
with "ten-" gave the radio transmitter time to reach full power.
Ten-codes, especially "ten-four", first reached public recognition in the mid- to late-1950s through the popular
television series Highway Patrol, with Broderick Crawford. Crawford would reach into his patrol car to use the
microphone to answer a call and precede his response with "10-4". Ten-codes were adapted for use by CB radio
enthusiasts. The 1975 hit song "Convoy" by C. W. McCall depicting conversation among CB-communicating
truckers put phrases like 10-4 meaning "understood" and what's your twenty? (10-20) for "where are you?" into
common use in American English. A 1978 movie Convoy, loosely based on the song, further entrenched ten-codes
in casual conversation.

Welcome Chris Henry!
Chris Henry, Fall 2014 Napier Truck Driver Training Graduate: “Thanks to the staff
at Napier and Ohio Means Jobs Butler County, I was able to obtain funding for CDL
training and begin a wonderful career as a commercial driver. I chose Paschall Truck
Lines to drive for because they pay way above average, I am home regularly and
their benefits are good. Thanks to everyone who has helped me begin a new career
that more than enables me to support my family!”
