Mac to feature truckers’ health program at MATS

Feb 25, 2015

Updated Mar 23, 2015

Mac Trailer announced it will help sponsor the Walk A Mile America Foundation’s new program, Truck Drivers Health.org. Barry Pawelek, the foundation’s founder, will discuss his experiences as a retired truck driver at the Mid-America Trucking Show, March 26-28 in Louisville, Ky.

The Walk A Mile America Foundation develops health programs through experience, and Pawelek’s story is intended to help drivers understand why they shouldn’t neglect their own health while on the road.

Visit the Truck Drivers Health.org truck and hear Pawelek’s story at the PKY Show Lot, where the truck will sit atop a Mac platform trailer. For more information on Mac Trailer while at MATS, visit booth No. 32215.
