On Saturday, October 15th, Eric Roush, Austin Landis, Stew Rivers, Jim Blatt, Jaquann Alston, and Louis Rodriguez from Delaware Valley Contractors (DVC) attended the Keystone Truckin’ Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton on behalf of Empire Group.
The event took place in the parking lot next to the stands. Empire Group won two awards: Best Appearing Bobtail - Daycab (Empire Wrecking’s 1972 Mack truck) and Best Appearing Service Truck (DVC’s Ford F550). Ellen Ganime (Empire Group) sat down with Eric and Austin to learn what they thought of the show.
Ellen: Have you been to the Keystone Truckin’ Nationals before?
Eric: It was my first time at this show, and I was really impressed with the line up. There had to be over 300 trucks!
Austin: Yes. I had been to this show, but it was different since we were participating. I had heard about the show and thought it was a great way to bring Empire Group into [the show]. I had wanted [Empire Group] to get into bringing our trucks to the shows in the area, and we started with the Lanita Specialized Car Show in September, where we brought DVC’s new T880 truck, the DVC Mobile Repair Truck Ford F550 and the 1972 Empire Group Mack Truck from Empire Wrecking. Both shows were great experiences!
