​Fyda Freightliner Youngstown Gets Local Community In Touch with a Freightliner Truck

October 2016

Columbus, OH… Community support and involvement is nothing new to Fyda Freightliner Youngstown. For years, the dealership has been supporting, helping to organize, and participating in local activities, especially area Touch A Truck events, where the community can get up close and personal with a variety of commercial vehicles and trucks. Touch A Truck events are particularly fun for kids, who get a chance to crawl into the driver's seat, take the wheel, and even blow the horn - getting their first glimpse of what it could be like to become a truck driver when they grow up.

On June 25, 2016, long time Fyda Youngstown truck sales representative Kerry Sullivan brought a brand new bright red 2016 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution to the Poland Touch A Truck event, held in Poland, Ohio in conjunction with the city's 10th Annual Celebrate Poland event. This year, in addition to bringing a truck for display, Fyda Youngstown also participated as a Kick The Tires Sponsor, which helped to defray the costs associated with the event organized by the Paula & Anthony Center for Autism (Youngstown State University). During the four-hour event, Sullivan welcomed nearly 200 kids, parents, and even retired truck drivers to climb into the cab of the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution to feel what it's like to be inside a premium, well-appointed semi truck equipped with a double bunk for sleeping.
