Trucker Tales - Fifty Years of Trucking

When it comes to trucking Ted Campbell has â€œbeen there â€“ done thatâ€ Heâ€™s driven almost every truck, engine and transmission combination and carried every load imaginable. At age eighteen when no one would hire him as a driver because he had no experience he talked his Mother into co-signing a loan, traded his almost new Chevy Bel Air for a â€œBig Jobâ€ Ford and went trucking. Since then heâ€™s hauled lumber, gravel, logs, delivered new trucks from the factory even had two rigs on the Rogers Pass on opening day. In 1963 he was driving molten metal truck for Alcan at Kitimat when they asked him to go to UBC to attend a â€œteach the teachersâ€ course. When he returned he taught an equipment operators course for five years while operating a log-hauling outfit in his spare time. Several years later he started with Mainland Mack in Langley selling new and used trucks. He loves second hand trucks; â€œyou canâ€™t custom build a used truckâ€ Ted and his wife Ann have owned several truck lines, Cascadia Motor Express and Pure Water Transport were the latest; they carried spring water in stainless steel tankers, liquid sugar to honey-bee producers in the western provinces and North West Territories, ran a general freight outfit with 53â€™ heated, insulated tridem vans carrying food commodities throughout western Canada, coin-grade silver to New Jersey, sent film-grade silver in containers to Japan, pretzels out of Pennsylvania, chemicals from Wyoming, Christmas trees from Oregon, California produce, Colorado beer, even diapers and soap out of Salt Lake City.
Ted sayâ€™s heâ€™s made a fortune spent a couple.
