Rex Barlow bought an XG-195 back in 2013 and just gave us an update that we had to share. Rex says, “Well, after 5 years now I’ve hit approximately 71 deer, a couple turkeys, a grey wolf and a hog but my Ex-Guard is still hanging in there!”

My experience with Ex-Guard has been great. I had one on my 2016 Freightliner Cascadia as well. I purchased it used from my buddy before buying the new HD-495B for my Peterbilt. I average 2-4 deer/elk a year and I look forward to utilizing this deer guard on wildlife here in the Pacific Northwest. I run the mountain passes in Oregon and Washington 6 days a week.

Tell us how your Ex-Guard is doing! #keepontruckin #exguard #xg195 #protected #madeinamerica

WALCOTT TRUCKER JAMBOREE

The Trucker Jamboree at the World’s Largest Truck Stop is always a fun event for us. This show is an annual event held in Walcott, IA, just 2.5 hours from our headquarters. We enjoy the chance to talk with truckers and hear their stories from the road. The truck show at the Jamboree always brings in amazing trucks from around the country. Plus, there are some great free concerts for all attendees and truck stop visitors. Hope to see you there next summer!

2019 NACV SHOW

2019 NACV SHOW

In October, we exhibited at the 2 nd Biennial North American Commercial Truck Show in Atlanta, GA. The show was packed with exhibits from every imaginable field within the trucking industry. Not only were the six largest truck manufacturers there but also top trailer manufacturers and other top level suppliers. Daimler and International went all out with next level booths that were truly incredible. There were 473 Exhibitors and 8,466 attendees. This year, there was a heavy emphasis on electric vehicles from the majority of truck manufacturers. The Hyundia Neptune was on display and talk about looking like from the future! Daimler had both the eCascadia and the eM2 trucks on the floor as well. Nikola Motor Company displayed a pair of the Nikola Two models at the Bosch booth. International Trucks unveiled their electric truck, the eMV, on day one of the show. Peterbilt showed two trucks as well, the 579

EV and the 220EV. Volvo promoted their Electric VNR but did not have one on the show floor as they were in operation in California. We are excited for the 2021 show as we cannot wait to see what it will bring to the trucking industry! We were pleased to see everyone there and we are looking forward to reconnecting with everyone in 2021!

BRANT’S ICE CREAM

2 0 1 9 W I N T E R N E W S L E T T E R

Brant Aderman keeps his large freezer stocked with all flavors of Klondike bars and Choco Tacos and has a mission to bring joy to children and families in hard times. The first visit was to a two-year-old boy from Worthington, MN who had been assaulted in 2018. Follow- ing the news coverage he received, Brant had over 50 requests from other families wanting him to visit. Brant’s Ice Cream Truck also acts as a memorial to those who have lost children as he keeps photos of them posted around this cab. Brant says, “My 5-year-old son has always wanted an ice cream truck and he’s my baby.” So, he added ice cream truck music last October to make sure everyone knows when he’s com- ing. Although Brant has been a long-haul truck driver for 30 years and doesn’t get to spend a lot of time at home, he tries to lift spirits every day. While he’s on the road, he gives out ice cream at every stop he makes. Often, the totals exceed $600 per month in ice cream alone! If you hear the familiar jingle of an ice cream truck that sparks childhood memories, check to see if it is Brant and his colorful ice cream truck!
