Interstate Honors U.S. Marine Corps

-With Three Trailers "Wrapped" in Marine Corps Graphics-

The Marine Corps Recruiting Command developed the project and looked to members of the ATA to volunteer in spreading the USMC message. Through the use of these 43-foot "rolling billboards" the trailers deliver to countless numbers of people daily. Former Marines, now in the transportation industry, including two Interstate drivers who are retired Marines, were some of the first to sign up.

The Marine Corps provides the graphics, wraps the trailers and then removes the wrap after two years. Interstate's three trailers, which make up numbers 998, 999 and 1,000 in the fleet of 1,000 wrapped trailers.

Interstate Senior Vice President, John D. (JD) Morrissette) commented, "The Marine Trailer project really was an ideal fit for us. With our largest customer being the U.S. Military, we were thrilled to have an opportunity to honor the Marines. The trailers are being extremely well received by our customers."
