Shaffer Trucking, a national temperature-sensitive truckload carrier, released its 75^th anniversary trucks to five of the company’s drivers. The trucks are International ProStars fully customized with Shaffer Trucking 75^th anniversary commemorative symbols on the top and sides of each truck, as well as the individual drivers’ years of service and career miles displayed on the doors. Criteria in the driver selection process included safety, mileage, longevity, attitude, appearance and the manner in which the drivers maintained their tractors.
