4th  Annual TRUCK-A-RAMA and Safety Awareness Day

 June 3, 2000

Tyler Campbell, great-great grandson of the company founder, "Pop" Campbell, climbs aboard! The truck is a restored 1931 Ford stake body truck, like the one used to haul coal and lumber at the company's inception in 1933.

One of the HFC big rigs towed the PMTA Transportation Safety Lab to the event. This mobile unit is a rolling safety tool to increase public awareness of truck safety issues such as the "NO ZONE".

Katie Schreiber, great-great grandaughter of "Pop" Campbell, gets a first hand "look" at the blind spots from the cab of a truck at the "NO ZONE" display. The display demonstrated how four vehicles surrounding this truck were unable to be seen from the drivers seat.
