Volvo Gives Tractor to ATA for Road Team

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Volvo Trucks North America gave a new highway tractor to American Trucking Associations on March 19, providing the federation with a second power unit to pull its image trailer, a rolling demonstration for highway safety.

Per Carlsson, VTNA’s chief executive officer, gave the keys to the Volvo VN780 tractor to ATA Chairman Charles “Shorty” Whittington at the Mid-America Trucking Show here.

Volvo also is a sponsor of ATA’s America’s Road Team captains, whom Whittington described as “the nation’s greatest ambassadors of trucking.”
