-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
DON LOGAN--A TOPEKA, KANSAS-BASED DRIVER FOR FEDEX
FREIGHT--HAS BEEN NAMED THE "GRAND CHAMPION" AT THIS YEAR'S
"NATIONAL TRUCK DRIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS"...
(LOGAN):
"I'M HONORED
TO HAVE EARNED THE 'GRAND CHAMPION'-TITLE. IT'S A THRILL TO GET
THROUGH THE STATE-COMPETITIONS, AND EVEN BE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL."
(BRIDGE):
SINCE YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ACCIDENT-FREE FOR AT LEAST A YEAR TO BE
ELIGIBLE, DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR DRIVERS?
(LOGAN):
"ONE OF MY
KEYS TO SAFETY IS TO NOT BE IN A HURRY: I'VE LEARNED THAT BEING IN
A HURRY DOESN'T SAVE TIME--AND THAT PUTTING A CUSHION OF DISTANCE
BETWEEN ME AND OTHER VEHICLES HELPS US ALL TO GET HOME SAFELY."
(CLOSE):
LOGAN IS ALSO A SIX-TIME KANSAS STATE-CHAMPION WHO HAS DRIVEN MORE THAN
TWO-MILLION ACCIDENT-FREE MILES, DURING HIS 25-YEAR DRIVING-CAREER.
THE "NATIONAL TRUCK DRIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS" ARE SPONSORED BY THE
AMERICAN TRUCKING ASSOCIATIONS; THEY WERE HELD EARLIER THIS MONTH
[AUGUST] IN MINNESOTA.
