In this October edition of Today’s Trucking we explore the new relationship between Volkswagen and Navistar, along with the latest news in and around the Canadian truck market. Rolf Lockwood introduces us to a young, female truck technician who can’t wait to be a seasoned pro. Jim Park tells you what to consider when choosing trailer axles, John G. Smith explores the details of negotiating a trouble-free lease or rental, and Dave Nesseth profiles the rebirth of an aging Mack brought back to life by Ontario college students. And don’t forget to check out our latest Pulse Survey, Stat Pack, and our ever-popular Can’t Get There From Here contest (this month is a tough one!).
