Volvo Trucks debuts new ‘Welcome to My Cab’ installment

Volvo Trucks’ “Welcome to My Cab” series offers professional truck drivers a way to show their appreciation of large trucks and inspire others. In the latest episode of “Welcome to My Cab,” Tim Baumgartner, a veteran of the Vietnam War and founder and owner of Crockett’s Interstate Towing in Eugene, Ore., customized his Volvo VNL to feature the American Flag, eagles, soldiers and other military elements. The truck has earned several truck beauty awards and typically participates in several parades each year.

“I’ve got 1.2 million miles on this truck,” Baumgartner said. “It’s just a class ride.”

“The latest episode of ‘Welcome to My Cab’ adds to the momentum of this worthwhile program highlighting professional truck drivers and their passion for trucks and the road,” said Magnus Koeck, Volvo Trucks vice president, marketing and brand management. “We hope many more drivers will invite us to learn about their trucks and their livelihoods, which are so vital to the economy and our daily lives.”

Volvo Trucks launched the “Welcome to My Cab” series in Europe in 2009, and it debuted in North America earlier this year. Volvo drivers can visit Volvo’s website to enter for a chance to be featured.
