Meet America’s Road Team Captains for 2017-2018

The American Trucking Associations Tuesday, Jan. 10, named 20 company drivers as 2017-2018 America’s Road Team Captains.

For the next two years, the newly chosen captains will tour North America in ATA’s Interstate One Image Truck, an American flag emblazoned Volvo VNL 780 with a state-of-the-art truck driving simulator. According to the ATA, the captains, who will remain full-time truck drivers with their various ATA member companies, will speak about the life of a truck driver, the role trucking plays in the delivery of critical goods and the safety-first mentality held by drivers.
