RED DEER, Alta. — The Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA) crowned the province’s top drivers in Red Deer over the weekend.
Mike Kellar of Porter Trucking was deemed the grand champion, winning his tandem/tandem class by a greater margin than any of the other winners.
Other winners included Jody Glen Sallas, City of Calgary, step van; Don Paquette, Canadian Freightways, straight truck; Calvin Briggs, Grimshaw Trucking, single/single; Rick Limoges, Grimshaw Trucking, single/tandem; and Bill Mihalcheon, Canadian Freightways, b-train.
