We had another successful "Truck Driver Appreciation Day" at the Grapevine Inspection Facility on Tuesday, October 4th. We served over 200 drivers and CHP personnel and all were very grateful. We continue to build a positive relationship with the CHP and that means so much to our members and their drivers. We appreciate all those who were able to attend and our Kern Unit Committee volunteers that are always there to help make events like this a success to be proud of.
