Pennsylvania's Road Team is a small group of professional truck drivers selected each year to represent the trucking industry. Although still full-time drivers, they take a few days each month, with the support from their companies, to travel across the state to meet with organizations and schools to talk about highway safety and trucking issues. Road Team members are selected on the right combination of experience, a good driving record, a professional attitude, and the communication skills necessary to present our message to the public.
Visit with the non-trucking public - high school students in driver education classes, civic clubs, business groups and others - to talk about highway safety and "sharing the road with a truck". They also speak about the vital contributions trucking makes to local, state and national economy.
They can also visit with trucking industry groups and representatives - trucking companies, fellow drivers, new drivers and students training to become professional drivers - to encourage safety in our own backyard.
