TravelCenters of America Honors Truckers and Educates Motorists Through Kid's Meal Placemats in Full-Service Restaurants
By: Robert Diamond Aug. 05, 2013
Kids and their families will learn interesting details about trucking through fun facts and games, including Truck-Tac-Toe, and a seek-and-find picture highlighting a few of the items that trucks transport.
"We love professional drivers and are striving to aid in raising the image of professional drivers at every opportunity," said John Ponczoch, Senior Vice President, Food Marketing & Operations at TravelCenters. "Our partnership with MiniTime is just another opportunity to inform the general public of the hard work professional drivers do, day in and day out, to keep America moving," he added.
Throughout the summer, TravelCenters has also partnered with RadioDisney in the Cleveland, Indianapolis and Detroit markets to inform families about TA and Petro Stopping Centers travel centers and just how important trucking is to America. At events in these communities, families can pick up a pamphlet that discusses motorist safety when sharing the road with trucks, and information about professional drivers and their contributions.
TravelCenters also recently launched its Citizen Driver Award program to recognize and reward the best truckers in the industry for their efforts both on the job and in their communities. Anyone can nominate a driver. All of the details can be found at www.ta-petro.com/citizendriveraward.
TA and Petro locations are conveniently located off interstate highway exits. TA and Petro full-service restaurants have been recognized by customers for great food, cleanliness and an unmatched level of service.
