We recently had the opportunity to host Sibic Trucking LLC at the Volvo Trucks North America factory giving them a behind-the-scenes look at how their trucks are built from the ground up.

From an in-depth plant tour to a hands-on ride & drive experience, it was a great day showcasing the innovation and performance that go into every Volvo truck.

We appreciate the chance to partner with Sibic and help them find the right solutions for their fleet.

On September 14th, GTR held a company wide picnic! Over 200 staff members and their families came out to enjoy the festivities!

There's nothing like a nice evening to catch up with friends and make memories with your families! The GTR family played yard games, ran through the bubble cannon, got their picture drawn by a caricature artist, dunked their favorite managers in the dunk tank, cast their lines in the pond, and ate lots of good food!

A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped put this all together, and we can’t wait to do it again! 🥳
