A-Line Frame & Alignment Services

Good afternoon, welcome back to another trucker profile.

Meet Travis, a professional driver with 24 years of experience in the industry. From an early age, trucking has been his dream career, and he continues to find fulfillment in the lifestyle it offers. Travis highlights the opportunity to travel, experience new places, and embrace new opportunities as some of his favorite aspects of the job.

His work often keeps him on the road for extended periods, typically ranging from two to three months at a time. Most recently, he returned from a trip to Utah. Travis hauls freight across both Canada and the United States, describing his journey as similar to the song I’ve Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash—a fitting comparison for someone who has covered so much ground.

Currently, Travis works with RSB Logistics, after having spent 18 years with Mid North. One of his most memorable experiences was a weekend spent in New Orleans, where he had the chance to explore the surrounding swamps. Reflecting on his time on the road, Travis notes that “you’ve really seen it all when you’ve seen a turtle crossing the highway.”

While rewarding, trucking also comes with its challenges. Travis points to navigating large urban centers and handling difficult winter driving conditions as some of the most demanding aspects of the job, with routes through New York and New Jersey standing out as particularly challenging.

Thank you, Travis, for sharing your story with us. Stay tuned for more insights and experiences from Travis in future stories.

Hello everyone,

A-Line is excited to introduce a new initiative where we interview truck drivers and invite them to share their experiences with us. We’re calling this series “Cab Confessions,” and we look forward to bringing you engaging and insightful stories from the road.

To kick off our Cab Confessions series, Lynn has graciously shared her story.

With over 21 years in the trucking industry, Lynn’s passion for the road began with a lifelong fascination with big trucks. What continues to drive her is the ever-changing scenery and the opportunity to connect with new people along the way. Specializing in wide loads (up to 30 feet) she regularly hauls hoppers, bins, and augers with the Co-op, demonstrating both precision and expertise in her work.

Over the years, Lynn has witnessed it all: overturned semis, numerous accidents along the Trans-Canada Highway, and a wide range of wildlife encounters. Yet, beyond the miles and experiences, her journey has also been shaped by the challenges of working in a traditionally male-dominated industry. She speaks openly about the persistence of stereotypes and the determination it has taken to prove her place behind the wheel.

Today, Lynn stands as one of the top drivers for the Co-op, recognized for her skill, independence, and professionalism. At the same time, she reflects on how aspects of trucking culture have evolved—fewer kids signaling for the horn, fewer drivers exchanging the classic wave, and an increasing need for awareness from everyday motorists sharing the road with semis.

Thank you, Lynn, for sharing your journey. Your story is both inspiring and a powerful reminder of the resilience and dedication within the trucking community.

It’s the first of the month!🎉
