The Volvo VN780 will be driven by the Road Team Captains as they transport the new ATA Image Trailer, which is outfitted as a mobile educational and promotional tool for the trucking industry.
Volvo Trucks™ sponsorship of America™s Road Team and our presentation of this truck for the Road Team™s use demonstrate our deep commitment to safety, a commitment we share with ATA, said Scott Kress, senior vice president sales & marketing. Like all of our trucks, this Volvo VN is designed and built to the highest standards of safety, quality and environmental care. It is our hope this tractor will help ATA and the Road Team Captains communicate vital information in support of the trucking industry to the many audiences we want to reach. And, of course, the Captains will arrive in style and comfort.
“Having a dedicated Volvo tractor to pull the new highly-visible ATA Image Trailer will allow the America”s Road Team Captains to travel across the country to share the industry”s message of safety, essentiality and sustainability,” said ATA President & CEO Bill Graves. “With the support of Volvo Trucks North America, the new tractor-trailer is another tool for us to use in our advocacy and outreach efforts. Watch for the Captains traveling across the nation from capitol steps to community events and everywhere in between.”
