Over the past two months our employees have continued to help support those in need in North Carolina and the surrounding areas that were affected by Hurricane Helene in October. One such effort was led by an employee, Allan, to use a company-owned Western Star 47X to deliver 384 skids of donated disaster relief supplies—435,000 lbs in total—to communities across western North Carolina in support of “The Altitude Project” in Cornelius, NC. These supplies reached areas hardest hit, including Lake Lure, Asheville, and Canton, showcasing the power and reliability of our trucks. The 47X performed flawlessly on remote, muddy, snow-covered forestry roads. We want to acknowledge the amazing efforts put forth by Allan and all our employees in their ongoing effort to serve such an important mission. #DaimlerTruck #WeAreDaimlerTruck #DaimlerTruckCares
