On behalf of Arrow Truck Sales, Volvo Trucks North America and the rest of our sponsors, we’d like to thank all you truckers out there who took time out of your busy schedules to nominate yourself, or another deserving trucker, for Back On The Road 2010. Many of the stories we received were emotionally moving or spoke of unselfish acts to help others in need. Now in its third year, Back On The Road continues to demonstrate the huge heart of America’s trucking community.
We are now in the reviewing process of stories submitted to determine who will be our Back On The Road 2010 winner! This announcement will be made, live, at The Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky next March. Sirius XM radio personality, Dave Nemo, and country music star, Aaron Tippin, will be on hand for the big announcement – so plan to attend!
In the meantime, be sure to keep an eye out for our current (2009) Back On The Road winner – Dennis Lott – as he travels the nation’s highways delivering loads for Heartland Express in his colorful, 2006 Volvo VNL 670. Dennis is always happy to tell you about his own experience as our Back On The Road winner and how our generous sponsors have helped change his life!
