Founder Viewed as Angel Amid Disaster

By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT

“Tad Agoglia is almost looked upon as an angel here in Parkersburg, Iowa,” said city administrator Chris Luhring. Agoglia doesn’t have wings, as it turns out, but his story does have a Christmas feel.

Two years ago, Agoglia converted his profitable disaster response and cleanup company to a nonprofit foundation. He left his home and went on the road where he spends all year donating his expertise to stricken communities and seeking support and training for his team. Several leading equipment manufacturers and construction industry companies have caught the giving spirit and are backing him with money and machinery.

“When you meet him, you’ll quickly see that his passion is unprecedented,” said Darrin Foulk, vice president of Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co., which has Caterpillar dealerships across Pennsylvania.

SSC Tapped for ADOT’s Foulk speaks from experience. He met Agoglia when the latter entered a Largest Project in 2009…22 Cleveland Brothers branch in Lancaster to buy a piece of equipment. The company executive overheard Agoglia’s story and invited him to dinner.

By the time they folded their napkins and pushed away from the table, Agoglia had been offered a Cat skid steer under cost as well as donated cables for his generator and a full complement of spare parts for his mechanical repair truck. Not finished, Foulk rang up two other equipment manufacturers and persuaded them to help out with major pieces of equipment.

“These are the unique kinds of people I have been meeting lately,” Agoglia said, reflecting on the $800,000 in equipment received in the last two months.

Congress Lags on Highway Bill Extension

By Giles Lambertson

drag on the construction economy. Here’s the deal: Though the Senate agreed with the House at the very last moment to a one-month extension of existing transportation funding authority, senators failed to include a provision to roll back funding rescissions stipulated in the last six-year bill. The $8.7 billion in rescission money was a bookkeeping method of understating the true cost of SAFETEA-LU, which was passed in 2005 (two years into the six years of its effective authority).

The sleight of hand was needed to help win legislative support. However, the scheduled rescissions never were voided, as planned, and inadvertently became effective Oct. 1.

“For most states, it is not hard cash money, just promise money,” said

When the U.S. Senate failed in September to enact six-year transportation legislation or to extend the existing funding authority in a responsible way, it created a billion-dollar-a-month hole for the construction industry.

“The baseline for the federal highway account is reduced by a billion dollars each month we have a continuing resolution,” said Tony Dorsey, media spokesman of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). “It will cost our members one billion dollars every month we have a resolution.”

While the huge loss is mostly on paper — so far — it nonetheless is a

by a caravan of construction equipment, idled by the lack of federal support, parading around Soldier Field to urge the federal government to stop job loss.

“The construction equipment industry is in a deep depression and we have lost 33,000 jobs in Illinois and 37 percent of our workforce nationwide the past few years,” said Toby Mack, president and CEO of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED), based in Oak Brook, Ill.

Start Us Up USA!, a nationwide grassroots campaign of the construction equipment industry and their allies, descended upon Chicago Oct. 20 with a rally of local business and labor leaders and construction workers calling on the federal government to move quickly on the reauthorization of a critical transportation bill.

New transportation funding is necessary to improve the nation’s infrastructure and spur a recovery of the construction equipment industry, especially in hard-hit states like Illinois. The rally was followed

For the past three years, the Indiana Toll Road has undergone major improvements.

These improvements came about as a result of the growing population in Lake and Porter

counties, necessitating the ITR Concession Company LLC (ITRCC) to widen the Indiana Toll Road.

As a result, ITRCC hired Indiana TollRoads Contractors LLC, a joint venture between Ferrovial Agroman Indiana LLC see TOLL page 50

For the third time in 20 years, Mike Myszkowski, Illinois Department of Transportation engineer, is resurfacing the Bishop Ford Freeway just outside of Chicago. In 1989, a “surface fix” was performed, putting down a 2-in. (5 cm) layer of asphalt. In 1998, the work needed to be repeated, due to wear caused by heavy traffic. Nearly 10 years later, the road once again needs repair.

The current rehabilitation project involves resurfacing all lanes and shoulders of the 9-mi. (14.5 km) stretch of freeway between Martin Luther King Drive and 159th Street, as well as pavement patching, bridge repairs, new guardrail installation and exit/entrance ramp resurfacing — including the Stony Island Feeder Ramp.

Located along California’s main route to and from South Lake Tahoe, U.S. Highway 50, the city of Placerville typically is not the site of larger, highway construction projects, as the city has a population of around 10,000.

However, a $35 million highway improvement project — aimed at reducing congestion along Highway 50 and connecting Placerville’s business districts — was recently completed within the city.

A dynamic apprenticeship program will not by itself save the U.S. construction industry from a looming shortage of skilled labor, but it is “one of the pieces of the puzzle” to stabilizing the labor situation, say industry leaders.

As of October, San Francisco-based Mitchell Engineering had finished work on the U.S. Highway 50 Operational Improvement Project, which began in June 2006, according to Mic Restaino, resident engineer for Caltrans District 3.

Spanning 1.4 mi. (2.2 km), the project consisted of bridge widening and replacement, the relocation of sewer lines, the building of a direct connection between two Placerville streets and highway widening.

Construction of the project was broken down in two stages, with five to six sub- stages of construction occurring at each location, said

More than one hundred attended the first dig, then celebrated over lunch in a tent next to the new facility. Construction of the new operation at 1486 South Distribution Drive in Salt Lake City is scheduled to be complete in August 2010.

“We are pleased to begin building our new state-of-the-art heavy equipment cen-

The new facility will include 10 service bays plus a wash bay, a paint bay, an additional track shop and expanded rebuild area, doubling the size of the current service area. The size of the training facility see HYBRID page 10

Crushing, Screening & Recycling Section Eagle Peak Rock & Paving Crushes Rocks Left Over From ’30s During the famous 1849 Gold Rush, miners panned for gold in California streams.

Many years later some enterprising companies took it to a new level by “panning” a number of river valleys in northern California with floating dredges.

One such dredging operation started circa 1936 and continued into the early days of World War II. A 100-yd.-long barge-mounted dredge was used to “pan” the Scott River Valley just south of the Oregon border near Yreka, Calif., in Siskiyou County. On the front end of the dredge was a 76-unit rotating bucket line that dug up dirt and rock.

Gold was removed inside the hull, using a trommel screen apparatus with .25 and .5 in. (.6 and 1.3 cm) holes. A 120 ft. (36.5 m) long stacker at the back of the barge deposited the dug-up rocks in giant windrows.

For Eagle Peak Rock & Paving, Alturas, Calif., the “gold” is in those windrows of large, smooth, very hard rocks still remaining from the dredging operation.

“Our mining consists of crushing the rocks for use in our two asphalt plants,” said Eagle Peak President Tony Cruse. “Our equipment includes three Terex Pegson crushing plants and two Powerscreen dry screen plants, all in closed circuit. We produce what we call asphalt rock. This includes 3/8 inch clean, 1/2 inch clean and Number 4 — 0 inch crusher dust. We blend all three in the asphalt production process.

We reject all natural sand.”

The closed circuit process consists of several steps. Material from the rock windrows is fed into a Terex Pegson XA400 26x44 jaw plant and crushed to 5 in. (12.7 cm) size. The 5 in. goes to a Powerscreen Chieftain double-deck dry screen that rejects 1 in. (2.5 cm) minus stone. The 1 in. plus goes to a Terex Pegson 1300 Maxtrak cone crusher that produces 2 in. (5 cm) minus which goes to a Powerscreen Chieftain 2100 triple-deck producing 3/8 in., 1/2 in. (.95 and 1.3 cm) and crusher dust. The oversize goes to a Terex Pegson 1000 Maxtrak cone, which also produces 3/8 in., 1/2 in. and crusher dust in closed circuit with the Powerscreen tripledeck.

“The rock feed material is very, very hard,” Cruse pointed out. “But our crushing

and screening equipment handles it very well. We do gradation testing on samples every 500 tons. That’s six samples a day.

And the product is very, very consistent. I couldn’t be happier with that. In addition, we move our entire crushing and screening system fairly often, and the Terex Pegson and Powerscreen equipment sets up and tears down quickly and easily.

“Also, our dealer, Powerscreen of California provides excellent service backup,” Cruse said. “They’re here anytime we need them, and sometimes they just show up on their own to check everything over onsite wherever we are. I’m so happy with the Terex Pegson and Powerscreen equipment that I’m considering getting more.”

Part of the durability and dependability of the equipment and consistency of the products is due to the Paktronic control panel on the Terex Pegson cone crushers. This control sets the close setting and shows the current setting. Further, the control senses anything uncrushable entering the crushing chamber and lifts up (dumps) to allow it through and then automatically goes back to the current setting. The control also records and displays

wear so the user can always tell how much life is left in the liners.

The Terex Pegson 1300 and 1000 Maxtrak cone crushers include a feed hopper, product conveyor, crushing chamber and power pack on a single chassis. The plants are engineered for high specification, flexibility, mobility and low operating costs.

The 1000 Maxtrak can crush up to 220 tons (200 t) per hour and the 1300 Maxtrak up to 420 tph (381 t), depending on the applica-

tion. Normally no prescreening is required.

The hydraulic system can be adjusted quickly, even while crushing. The entire feederhopper assembly can be hydraulically lowered into the feed ring for transport or raised for re-metaling.

The Terex Pegson XA400 26x44 jaw crusher is designed for powerful performance in high production quarrying, demolition and mining operations. An aggressive crushing action with a single-toggle, highswing jaw facilitates greater material entry to the crushing chamber. The design incorporates a hydraulic setting adjustment system that changes the jaw size at the press of a button for subsequent quick product sizing changes, thus reducing downtime.

Throughput capacities range up to 400 tons (363 t) per hour, depending on material and setting.

The Powerscreen Chieftain 2100 twodeck 20x5 dry screen is designed and built for large-scale operations. The unit provides constant, uniform sizing and can process up to 500 tons (453 t) per hour, depending on mesh size and material type. The force in the screen provides optimum performance in wet, sticky applications. The plant is highly mobile and sets up ready to run in 15 minutes. Typical applications include crushed stone, concrete/asphalt rubble, sand/gravel, topsoil and coal.

Lightweight rigs such as this Atlas Copco RD20 can move onto a site and rig up the whole location in much less time than a conventional rig.

Drilling contractors can reduce operating costs by adopting a mixed fleet approach.

Midland Company Saves Costs With a Mixed Fleet Approach

By Scott Ellenbecker SPECIAL TO CEG

Pro Petro Services, in Midland, Texas, found it saved as much as five to six working days per well by mixing up its fleet — using a smaller rig to drill the pre-sets and then a larger rig to finish the work.

Oil and gas wells are drilled in segments, each requiring different rig capacities.

Drilling contractors can reduce operating costs by adopting a “mixed fleet” approach to get the maximum performance from equipment in each segment of the drilling process. Mixed fleets use lightweight, hydraulic top-drive rigs to perform pre-set casing work and drill shallow exploration and production wells. Then a larger rig can move on location and immediately begin drilling the deeper segments of the well.

Pro Petro Services has been using an Atlas Copco RD20 rig to drill pre-sets for larger rigs.

“We typically drill 200 feet to 1,500 feet cased at 13-3/8 inches, and 1,500 feet to 3,500 feet cased at 8-5/8 or 9-5/8 inches,” said Operations Manager W.D. Martin.

These wells are typically drilled with air, using the rig’s onboard compressor with an auxiliary compressor and a booster.

“Prior to using the Atlas Copco RD20, our conventional rigs were drilling down to the bird’s nest zone and losing 80 percent of their water or mud circulation pressure,” Martin said.

Using high-pressure air, the RD20 drills

through the bird’s nest zone without losing circulation. When the surface and intermediate holes are cased and cemented, the conventional rigs come in to drill the wells to 6,500 to 8,000 ft. (1,981 to 2,438 m) total depth. Martin said his company has saved five to six days per well and drilled 10 to 15 more wells per year since using the mixed fleet approach.

Using lighter weight, mobile drills in the 700- to 900-hp (522 to 671 kW) class, contractors are able to drill and set surface with four to six people, in one to four hours, which is less time and fewer personnel than rigging up a conventional rig. Simple air drilling locations are usually turning to the right in one to two hours with a single crew.

Pre-set rigs can set Range III casing at about

the same rate as a conventional rig.

Today’s lightweight rigs handle 30- or 40ft. (9 to 12 m) drill pipe and can be adapted to a wide range of pipe handling equipment.

Lightweight rigs can rig down and move off location in one to four hours, including the related equipment.

Mixed fleets allow contractors to get maximum performance from equipment in each segment of the drilling process.

ADOT Contacts SSC for Extensive Potholing on Largest Project of 2009 (L-R) are Jerome Kirkendoll, Carl Brown, James Bacon, Paul Brizuela and Donn Barbian.

Last May, Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) launched one of its largest freeway improvement projects of the year along 9 mi. (14.5 km) of Loop 202 in Phoenix and Tempe.

The $188 million design-build joint venture with KiewitSundt will widen east and west bound lanes and bridges, reconstruct ramps, modify retaining and noise walls and improve drainage systems.

To satisfy the project’s subsurface utility engineering

B U I LT A R O U N D Y O U

requirements, Specialized Services Company (SSC) was contracted in early February to vacuum excavate numerous utility conflicts along the construction route, including locating a water main beneath water level on the north side of Tempe Town Lake.

In addition to potholing during pre-construction, SSC has since been asked to utilize the vacuum excavator to perform a number of other not-so-common functions on this project, including the removal of slurry from bridge columns and assisting with pier installations.

“This is a great example of the flexibility of vacuum technology,” said Arvid Veidmark, III, executive vice president of Specialized Services Co. “Most contractors consider the vacuum excavator for potholing only. Its uses are really unlimited.”

In appreciation for their diligence and exceptional work ethics, Kiewit-Sundt named SSC’s vacuum crew “SubContractor of the Month” in July. SSC is currently still under contract and will work with the project team until completion sometime in late 2010.

First Response Team of America Delivers Disaster Relief ANGEL from page 1

Changing Focus Before Tad Skylar Agoglia was founder of a charitable organization, he was president of a profitable firm called Disaster Recovery Solutions. It basically was a loader and dump truck company specializing in storm debris. The company would show up a month or two after a natural disaster and earn premium dollars clearing streets and carting away the debris of people’s lives.

Disaster Recovery’s first disaster was Hurricane Isabel, which struck the East Coast in 2003. The company’s last forprofit cleanup was in 2007. By then, Agoglia had experienced a change of heart.

He had come to believe that what these splintered communities really needed was not a clean-up crew pulling in a month after disaster struck. Rather, the storm victims and beleaguered local leaders needed volunteer assistance and they needed it immediately, the kind of help that only an experienced and equipment-ready professional like Agoglia could offer.

He acted on this personal revelation in May of 2007 after an E5 tornado virtually destroyed the small Kansas town of Greensburg. To the dismay of his employees, Agoglia ordered his equipment off a profitable job elsewhere and driven to Greensburg.

“That was the pivotal moment,” the businessman- turnedactivist recalled of his Kansas experience. “I was using my crane to clear a street in Greensburg so firefighters could get to their equipment. I saw that people emerging from basements were given hope when they realized someone had come to help them quickly. At that moment, I decided that no longer am I going to use my equipment to make money. I’m going to help people. And I’ve never looked back.”

For the first year and a half, Agoglia funded his altruistic work out of his personal savings before reorganizing the company as a nonprofit. Now — two-and-a-half years and 27 storms later — he heads an emergency recovery organization called First Response Team of America.

His commitment to his charitable work is rooted in conviction that openly guided him through his college years.

Agoglia has a master’s degree in theology and was on track to enter a life of ministry when he concluded he was meant to do something else. A disaster relief business was his choice of alternate vocations.

At the age of 30, however, he said he “kind of arrived as a small business owner and I realized that I wanted something more than just to make money. When I saw the need in these communities, I decided with my background and capabilities that I could help. There is something very valuable in life in caring for people.”

His benefactors in the heavy equipment industry have caught the same vision. Due to their support, First Response’s equipment will be state of the art when Agoglia heads into another year of disasters.

Working With the Best The new equipment is an upgrade of the specialty tools Agoglia developed as a disaster response businessman. His Disaster Recovery Solutions operated oversized tandem truck-trailers with a loader attached to the main unit. The company excelled in efficient removal of debris and cleaned up in more ways than one.

The same efficiency on an even bigger scale is a hallmark of his First Response Team. His latest generation of equipment rides on the backs of three new Peterbilt trucks donated by the Knoxville, Tenn., branch of The Pete Store dealer group.

A Model 335 Peterbilt truck hauls First Response’s mechanical support equipment and parts. A Model 367 powers a stretched-frame tandem unit with three steerable axles and 120-cu. yd. (91-cu m) capacity. A Prentice 2124 loader — donated by the Forestry Division of Caterpillar — rides piggyback at the rear of the truck and is outfitted as needed with a grapple, donated by Heiden Grapple, or a hydraulic crushing head.

The third truck — a Model 375 Peterbilt — pulls a dropdeck trailer donated by Ledwell & Son Enterprises in Texarkana, Tex. It is loaded with top-of-the-line equipment donated by manufacturers, including: • Cat 229C compact skid steer track loader • Godwin CD150 pump that will push almost 2,000 gallons of water per minute • 400 kW Cat generator capable of powering up critically needed buildings such as a public shelter, skilled nursing facility or emergency department.

• Terex AL4000 light tower with a diesel engine and generating unit that can light up seven-and-a-half acres for nighttime work and security.

• Towmaster T-110DTG detachable gooseneck trailer, a second Towmaster trailer and a T-16T drop deck tilt.

• A Miller plasma cutter and Big Blue Air Pak welder.

“I have to have the best equipment on the market,” Agoglia said of his fleet’s mechanical upgrade. “If something goes down, someone’s life might be depending on it. I can’t show up in a 1984 dump truck. Under these circumstances, if the equipment goes down, it’s not profit being lost, it’s people’s lives. There’s no time to stop and fix unreliable equipment.”

All the Right Reasons Neither the Team nor its industry supporters are in it for publicity. Agoglia believes in just showing up and pitching in. Agoglia is, in fact, adamant that the assistance be given communities for the right reason.

“If I do the work under the umbrella of a nonprofit, people really know we are not there to make money. They don’t have to worry. We’re only there to help.”

He said companies that he’s approached — or that have taken the initiative to contact him — also are in it for the right reason.

“All of these companies say, ‘Take this. We don’t want anything in return. We don’t want a photo. We don’t need a billboard. We don’t want names on our trucks. We don’t want anything. Just keep doing what you’re doing.’”

“A lot of people want publicity, but Tad just doesn’t work like that. He flies under the radar,” Parkersburg’s Luhring said, looking back on Agoglia’s surprise appearance in the community in late May 2008 after a tornado struck the town.

Luhring was Parkersburg’s police chief when the tornado killed seven people and destroyed 220 homes. He met Agoglia after someone told him a big truck was blocking the road and Luhring went to investigate.

First Response Team of America arrived unannounced on the scene in Parkersburg, Iowa, in May 2008 following a tornado that devastated the town and were received with open arms and hailed as heroes.

“Tad told me, ‘I’m here to help. I’ll help in any way I can,’” Luhring recalled. “Well, I’m pretty well versed in construction and I realized we didn’t have a truck like Tad’s. I knew that truck could do things we couldn’t do.”

First, Agoglia used the grapple on the truck-mounted loader to gently sift the ruins of Parkersburg’s city hall till they found cemetery rolls that would allow the community to bury its dead. Then he used the loader to dig the graves, working alongside some high school boys. It was a scenario Agoglia never imagined would become part of his life.

“I don’t know how to explain this but these are the situations that made me walk away from my for-profit company so easily,” he said.

Later that year, he stopped back in Parkersburg while on a trip and was persuaded to attend a high school assembly that was happening that afternoon. Luhring said high school students recognized Agoglia after he walked into the assembly area and spontaneously gave him a standing ovation.

Luhring, who became city administrator just last month, said the First Response Team’s impact on the community is lasting.

“Parkersburg has been labeled the most successful disaster recovery community in the nation. Tad drove that train right after the storm. He made it possible.”

Small Team, Big Hearts Agoglia’s entire team consists of five people including himself. Those who came over with him from his for-profit company took a 70-percent pay cut.

Tim Wilkowicz became a team member when Agoglia was converting his company to nonprofit. Wilkowicz, 22, said he has no problem being on the road two or three months at a time — “though my Mom doesn’t like me being away so much” — but he said he is not doing it for adventure.

“I think for me it is kind of a feeling that, well, a man is not the man he could be unless he tries to make the world a better place,” the Pennsylvania native said during an interview in early December. “I feel like I am doing something that has lasting value, something that brings satisfaction to other people rather than just to myself.”

December can be a storm-less part of the calendar year.

Wilkowicz was in Florida when contacted, Agoglia in Washington, D.C., visiting a Red Cross office. Such distance between team members is unusual, but contingency plans see ANGEL page 31

Kenworth T800s Help Bigge Drayage Make Massive Moves When your last name is Bigge, it’s hard to imagine that you’ll do anything small. And in 1916, when Henry W. Bigge established Bigge Drayage Company, he set the stage for a company that’s lived up to the name.

“For over 93 years, Bigge has played a critical role in the development of our country’s infrastructure,” said Gedge Knopf, Bigge major projects regional sales manager. “From handling the original Golden Gate Bridge girders and transporting Liberty Ship sections during World War II to handling major components up to and exceeding 1,500 tons in nuclear and refining facilities throughout the country, Bigge takes great pride in creatively and safely performing scopes of work that others consider impossible.”

Such was the case when the San Leandro, Calif., company recently used two Kenworth T800s to pull and push a 220,000-lb. (99,790 kg), 103-ft. (31.4 m) long refinery vessel from Houston to Northern California. The super high and wide load required extensive logistics and a serpentine route over farm roads and through towns along a 3,000-mi. journey covering seven weeks. Proper gearing and like specifications allow the Kenworth trucks to operate in tandem.

“The Kenworths T800s were spec’d with 550-horsepower

engines with retarders, 18-speed transmissions, 2-speed Eaton rears [rated at 48,000 pounds], 20,000pound front axles with double frames,” said Chuck Beam, Bigge project superintendent.

The Kenworth T800 pusher was utilized nearly the entire trip.

“It’s a challenge, and, almost poetry in motion when having the two trucks work in concert,” said Beam. “The lead Kenworth T800 is in charge when the load is moving [the drivers use company radios for communication]. He has the responsibility of letting the snap [pusher] truck know what to do and when to change gears.

Quite often, on real tight turns, the snap truck does most of the work and brings the rear around to the proper position. It’s also the go-to vehicle when we go down hills. It holds the load back first and the lead truck then assists.”

Kenworth has been the Bigge’s truck of choice for heavy hauls for decades.

“Since I began working at Bigge in 1975, every new truck we have brought into the fleet has been a Kenworth,” said Beam, who noted that the company has 25 Kenworths.

“We put a lot of demands on our trucks and Kenworth and our dealer, NorCal Kenworth — Bay Area, has always come through. The Kenworth T800s are robust, durable and can take the strain that

comes their way when hauling extreme loads. Customers depend on us to handle the big loads, and we depend on Kenworths to get us where we need to be.”

According to Beam, planning the recent move took three months, and involved closely working with Departments of Transportation in four states, cities, counties, and every utility in those areas to get permits in place.

“It was a long trip, one of the longest of this type that I’ve been involved with at Bigge. On our best day, we covered 220 miles, but a typical day was more like 120 miles,” he said. “Since our overall length was 185 feet, and we were 20 feet wide at the rear dollies, it proved difficult to navigate roads.

We had constant height issues, even in remote counties — we needed 19 feet, 6 inches to clear obstacles. It seemed every town had stop lights and sets of wires that were lower and had to be carefully slid over the load. ”We had other challenges as well. The Mogollon Rim in Arizona, and Tehachapi Grade in California both offered grades of 6 and 7 percent. The Rim also has a 20-miles downhill and required our drivers to be synchronized in the use of the retarders and gearing.

If you’re doing it right, you’re never using the brakes. The retarders should get you down the mountain.”

With an overall length of 185 ft. (56 m) and a width of 20 ft. (6 m), there was constant height issues.

Once the Kenworth T800s and refinery vessel crested the valley and the drivers saw the lights of the Bay Area, it was as if the Kenworths turned from hares to tortoises.

“The most difficult challenge was saved for last,” said Beam.

“There was a mess of wires, lights and turns that only allowed us to move 10 to 15 miles a night. We had a whole army of people lifting obstructions, but it was slow going.

When we finally arrived at our destination, we let out our collective breaths. It was a long haul, but a job well done. I’m proud of our guys.”

The Kenworth T800s were spec’d with 550 hp (410 kW) engine with retarders and 18 speed transmissions.

Shatner to Present Keynote Address at Work Truck Show William Shatner will draw upon his nearly 60 years in show business to inspire and entertain attendees of The Work Truck Show 2010 and 46th Annual National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) Convention. Shatner will be the keynote speaker at the president’s breakfast and NTEAAnnual Meeting held on March 11, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m.

The Work Truck Show 2010, North America’s largest vocational truck event, is held in conjunction with the 46th Annual NTEA Convention at America’s Center in St. Louis, Mo., March 10 to 12, 2010. The Convention opens March 9.

Many businesspeople are afraid: Afraid to try something new, afraid to take risks, afraid to abandon some of the safe paths that have brought them past success. In these troubled economic times, however, new paths may need to be forged and new opportunities sought.

William Shatner knows a lot about fear and risk-taking from his own experiences and has reinvented himself time and again. Even with current success and pop culture icon status, he continues to explore new creative outlets. During his keynote presentation at the president’s breakfast, Shatner will share stories of his own fears and his evolution in dealing with them, delivered with his usual humor and sincerity.

Shatner may be most famous for originating the role of Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek television series in the 1960s. He later reprised the role in seven Star Trek movies.

Shatner went on to play the title role in the television series T.J. Hooker and hosted television’s first reality-based series, Rescue 911, for six seasons. He has won Emmy and Golden Globe awards for his role as eccentric law firm partner Denny Crane on two television series, The Practice and Boston Legal.

Although he currently hosts Shatner’s Raw Nerve, a celebrity interview series on the Biography channel, Shatner may be most familiar on television these days in commercials as celebrity spokesman for Priceline.com.

In addition to his television and film credits, Shatner also is a best-selling author. He has written more than two dozen novels and non-fiction books. His novel series TekWar was turned into a television series for the Sci-Fi Network. Shatner’s latest book is his autobiography, Up Till Now. His new comic book series, William Shatner Presents, debuted in May 2009.

Outside of Hollywood, Shatner is a longtime horse breeder and is active in several charities dedicated to therapeutic horseback riding.

“We are really looking forward to William Shatner’s keynote presentation,” said Jim Carney, NTEA executive director. “With his background, he is singularly qualified to demonstrate to our members and attendees that you can have more than one success in life and in business, if you work to move past your fears. He knows from experience that there is life after Captain Kirk.”

The president’s breakfast and NTEA Annual Meeting at which Shatner will speak is open to show and convention attendees by ticket only. Advance registration is recommended.

Tickets are $55 for NTEA members and $75 for nonmembers (if purchased on or before Jan. 22, 2010). A ticket also is included in the complete event package, which is $299 for NTEA members and $379 for nonmembers (if purchased on or before Jan. 22, 2010).

For more information, call 800/441-NTEA or visit www.ntea.com.

William Shatner will be the keynote speaker at the Work Truck Show 2010 and 46th Annual National Truck Equipment Association Convention.

Kenworth Sales Opens Parts, Service Facility in Wyoming

Kenworth Sales Company — Rock Springs is located at 384 Blairtown Road.

Kenworth Sales Company has relocated its parts facility in Rock Springs, Wyo., to a new, much larger parts and service location near U.S. Interstate 80.

A member of the Kenworth dealer network of more than 300 locations in the United States and Canada, Kenworth Sales Company — Rock Springs is in a 10,000 sq.-ft., facility on two acres located off Exit No. 99 on I-80. The dealership’s 5,000 sq.-ft. service department has five bays and offers Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube and Air Conditioning service. The parts department has more than 2,500 sq. ft. of parts storage, or nearly five times that of the previous facility.

“We’ve had a terrific response from the community and our customers since we opened our new Rock Springs facility in September,” said Kyle Treadway, president of Kenworth Sales Company, which operates 18 dealerships in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

“With new oil shale extraction technology making it possible to recover oil from the Green River Formation, the demand for reliable parts and service support among vocational truck fleets and operators in the area has increased significantly.”

The Green River Formation reportedly has the world’s largest known oil shale deposits with an estimated 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil, more than three times the amount of oil in Saudi Arabia’s proven reserves.

Kenworth Sales Company — Rock Springs is located at 384 Blairtown Road. The facility is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Key personnel include: Dan Bates, service manager, and Mike Fredrickson, parts manager.

For more information, call 307/362-6669.

are in place for swiftly uniting them with the equipment should disaster occur.

For most of the year, team members live together in firehouses or motels. They either are working in a devastated area or preparing to drive to the next one.

“How I get there so quickly is that I work with the best meteorologists all over the country, such as the folks from The Weather Channel. When they report there are circular motions in clouds over Kansas and Missouri, for example, we get to the region and pre-position the fleet in harm’s way in order to be within a five- or-10- hour response time,” Agoglia explained.

Were he operating as a for-profit company, his team’s anxious waiting for imminent disaster would be decried as unconscionable, but to Agoglia, “Life is precious and must be saved and time is of the essence. Most people die under rubble within 24 hours and its our job to get to the scene quickly to aid the emergency workers. We remove the obstacles and do the heavy lifting so they can do their job and save lives.”

Looking to the Future Agoglia’s team responds nationwide — to wildfires in California or hurricanes in North Carolina or any severe storm in between. His

main equipment depot is in Knoxville, Tenn., but he hopes within five years to have two other teams in place on both the east and west coasts.

Agoglia also is hoping to add a fire truck to his stable of equipment. At least once a year he shows up in a community where a fire station has been destroyed along with its equipment, which he said leaves the firefighters feeling helpless.

“They are the real heroes in these situations,” Agoglia said. “I want to have a fire truck available so that when the town is without its own equipment, we have something to offer.”

The team is prepared to respond in just about any other way. It has a hovercraft for transportation in flood situations. GPS equipment helps local first responders communicate and bring order to situations and helps victims communicate with distant family members. Off-road motorbikes are standard equipment to help find victims isolated by storms, as are more typical rescue equipment such as the biggest plasma cutter on the market, concrete saws, welders and cameras and sensors to search rubble.

“Let’s be realistic, it costs a lot of money to do this,” Agoglia acknowledged. “I am almost out of my personal reserves and the

companies that have responded have really set the bar high. I was moved by their generosity. We need more help from other good people who are doing it for the right reason.

I believe there are a lot of good people out there. I believe it is going to work.”

Greg Arscott, general manager of The Pete Store in Knoxville, said his office decided to assist Agoglia simply because they could.

“We have trucks, we can help,” he said, failing to mention that the company also donated use of a building for the First Response Team’s offices and an acre-and-ahalf lot to park the equipment. “There’s always a cause out there, but you can’t always see the impact of your help. With the First Response Team, the next relief effort could be in our own backyard.”

Arscott believes that other manufacturers and industry leaders will see that Agoglia’s efforts are “legitimate” and “as the economy improves, many of them will come out of the woodwork to support his efforts. I think it’s a tribute to Tad that, in one of the worst economic climates in 70 years, he has gotten the support he has.”

One of the donated Peterbilt trucks got baptized in November during the team’s response to flooding in Virginia. Agoglia

drove it through five feet of saltwater to rescue a woman. He reported the immersion to Arscott.

“I said I think we’ll have to change all the fluids in the truck,” he recalled. “You know they might have said, ‘How dare you!’

Instead, they said, ‘Well, so be it. We’ll change all the fluids.’ This is the kind of response that keeps the team going.”

Both Agoglia and his backers in the equipment industry are confident that the business model of altruism that Agoglia has conceived can be sustained and expanded. It will require financial donations via the team’s Web site at firstresponseteam.org, plenty of interagency networking and periodic equipment support, but Agoglia’s twoand-a-half years of experience have proven the project’s viability. In fact, Cat has made an offer to match some of the cash donations that Agoglia’s team can raise in 2010.

Certainly the 33-year-old Agoglia is a believer in the effort.

“I’m still young enough to think everything is possible.”
