Randall will continue to be a dedicated and loyal NATSO partner.”
“Randall Publishing has been a great partner, not only in terms of publishing, but also through their legislative efforts,” says Bill Fay, NATSO president. “This purchase is a win-win for both parties. We look forward to years of continuing our strong partnership with Randall.”
Truckers News is hand-delivered and displayed in special distribution racks at more than 1,100 NATSO-member truckstops nationwide. For more than 25 years, Truckers News has delivered news, entertainment and lifestyle information to America’s drivers and owner-operators.
