Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions Donates a New
Set of Tires
The AmCoach receives a new set of tires at Speedco
in Dallas, TX During a recent lubrication at Speedco
in Dallas, TX, it was pointed out that we needed to watch the wear on our
tires. To our surprise, the next day, we received an email from Angela
Gallagher, Public Relations Manager with Bridgestone Bandag Tire
Solutions in Muscatine, IA. Bridgestone wanted to give us a
"new set of shoes" for the AmCoach. A full set of Bridgestone Tires were
coordinated with Angela and Mike Barrett, Vice President Sales and
Marketing, a tire specialist with Speedco.
They were shipped to the Speedco Dallas
location. Speedco provided the mounting of
the tires. The AmCoach service is growing each
year. Drivers are becoming aware of the service that
is sponsored by the industry. With the increased miles,
"where the rubber meets the road" is a safety issue of utmost
importance. The AmCoach will be on display at the Great
West Truck Show in Las Vegas, NV starting June 17 and ending June
19. Please include the AmCoach, booth #1046, in your show
activities. After the show, the AmCoach will pick up a
driver in Henderson, NV. He experienced a stroke while
working away from home. The driver's wife, son and his
wife, will be traveling with the coach to help with the medical needs of the
driver while in transit. Bob Hataway, President of TransAlive, added,
"We are also working with a driver in Las Cruces, NM. His wife
needs to go to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ. Bridgestone Bandag
Tire Solutions make our AmCoach program possible."
The service is free to drivers and their families. The AmCoach program was initiated in 2000 and
has since handled over 100 trips involving drivers
nationwide. It is a 1984 40' converted Model 10 Eagle coach.
Every opportunity has been taken to make trips comfortable for
drivers and their families. The AmCoach has a driver compartment; a driver
lounge; a dinning area; a bathroom facility; and a bedroom. Hataway
stated, "It has all the comforts of home." You may go
to the TransAliveUSA web site at http://www.transalive.com for more
information concerning the AmCoach program. For further information regarding this press release,
