A unique 'first class' truck on display here over the weekend still sends chills down Kenny Likens' spine -- and he helped build it... The American trucker was like a proud father as thousands of visitors to the third annual Stirling Truck Show marvelled at his company's entry, First In Class, a candy-coloured truck that has already garnered North American awards for appearance and engineering. It was also a big winner in Stirling taking the best in show title in the big rig buildoff division... His company's orange candycoloured entry was one of approximately 100 trucks on display during the show organized by the Stirling and District Lions Club...

It won best in show in the big rig buildoff category)

... The awards were established in 2000, at the recommendation of the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee, a senior-level policy group that advises tne EPA on implementing the Clean Air Act. There are four categories of awards: clean air technology, community action, education/outreach, and regulatory policy innovations, with one special award for individual achievement... This year's Southern California winner is for regulatory policy innovations at the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles, which share San Pedro Bay... The ports developed the five year San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan outlining strategies to reduce air emissions and associated health risks from heavy-duty vehicles, oceangoing vessels, cargo-handling equipment, harbor craft, and railroad locomotives involved in port operations. The plan will serve as a model for other ports to follow in the future... (Photo courtesy Environmental Health Perspectives: Container ships at the Port of Los Angeles )
