Road Scholar’s Awareness Trucks to Make Appearance at Events This Upcoming Weekend

 


Road Scholar Transport’s awareness trucks are making a special stop this weekend at not one, but two events!

Saturday:  Touch-a-Truck  (Scranton, PA)

This Saturday, Sept. 23, marks the Junior League of Scranton’s 13th annual Touch-a-Truck at Nay Aug Park in Scranton, PA. 

From 11 am to 3 pm, children will be allowed to touch and interact with a variety of cars and trucks, including construction, buses, rescue, and other specialty vehicles, as well as become educated on safety, the parts of the vehicle, and the occupation associated with 

each.  Come out and see some of your favorite mascots, enjoy food, beverages, and music, purchase souvenirs, and take part in activities and games. For those children with sensory disorders but still want to enjoy the trucks, the event will feature a quiet hour from 11 a.m. to noon.

 Admission costs $5 (2 and under free).

 Don’t forget to get up close and personal with Road Scholar’s dog and “Be Cool” trucks that will be participating in the event as well!

Robinson, a third-party logistics provider, contracted Dragonfly Express to transport a shipment for one of their customers.   Unfortunately, the driver, who falsified logbook entries and drove at an unsafe speed, caused an accident resulting in two fatalities and a serious injury.   Despite C.H. Robinson's defense that they were "not responsible for the actions of an independent contractor or its driver," the court held C.H.
