ATHS to showcase trucks at hall of fame event
Ahead of its 2024 American Trucking and Industry Leader Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the American Truck Historical Society is offering truck owners an opportunity to showcase their trucks at this year’s event.
For more information on how to submit a truck to be featured as part of the ATHS event recognizing industry leaders who had a major impact on the trucking industry, call 816-777-0924 or email Courtney@ATHS.org.
This year’s hall of fame class will be honored on Oct. 23 at ATHS headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.
“Each of these pioneers has made a big impact on the industry,” said Tom Mullen, American Trucking and Industry Leader Hall of Fame chair. “Robert Young is the founder of ABF; Fred Jones perfected the art of refrigeration for trucks and railroad trailers; John Raun was the leader of transportation logistics and Marvin Rush formed a nationwide chain of dealerships, Rush Enterprises.”
