LAURIER STATION, Que. – Five years ago, Jacques Auger, president and founding owner of Transport Jacques Auger had an employee who lost his son to leukemia.
Auger wanted to show his support for the employee and he also wanted to build a mini-truck for a local parade in Laurier Station. By combining these two dreams he succeeded, with the help of friends and sponsors, in creating a one-of-a-kind, 29-foot drivable replica of a Kenworth W900L tanker which has since allowed him to raise $225,000 for the Leucan Fondation.
