Plover Resident is State Truck Driving Champion

Nine Drivers Continue on to National Competition

MADISON, Wis., July 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Jeffrey Langenhahn, of
Plover, was named the best professional truck driver in Wisconsin after
winning the twins competition and receiving the highest overall score in the
nine competing categories at the 2009 Wisconsin Truck Driving Championships.
The annual event is sponsored by the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association.

Langenhahn, who drives for Con-way Freight, now qualifies to compete in the
American Trucking Associations' National Truck Driving Championships August
18-22, 2009 in Pittsburgh, Penn. -- also known as the "Super Bowl of Safety."
The winners from each of the eight other categories are also eligible to
compete in the national championship.

Nearly 400 drivers from all 50 states will compete in Pittsburgh for four
days, challenging their driving skills, and knowledge of safety, equipment and
the industry. From 18-wheeler five axle sleepers to tank trucks to twin
trailers -- they will drive a course that recreates situations truck drivers
face daily. These maneuvers may include: an alley dock, a rear line stop, a
side park, a scale stop, a right turn, a front line stop, and straight line
driving through a diminishing clearance.

On Saturday night, August 22, one contestant will drive away as the 2009
National Grand Champion Truck Driver.

"The Truck Driving Championships represent the culmination of the industry's
dedication to safety," said Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association President
Thomas Howells. "I congratulate all the contestants and I hope Wisconsin roots
for our drivers as they move on to Nationals in Pittsburgh."
