E D I TOR I A L L E T T E R Celebrate spring with the newest issue of Driver's Digest, where you can catch up on all the new ways Volvo Trucks continues to lead the industry in fuel effi ciency, innovation and customer service. This issue covers the excitement around the Volvo Trucks exhibit at the 2014 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky. Attendees fl ocked to the Volvo Trucks booth to view the full range of models spanning from regional and long haul, to heavy and vocational haul. Volvo trucks equipped with 2014 engine technology deliver substantial fuel effi ciency benefi ts, while also providing the power and performance customers expect from a Volvo powertrain. Enjoy reading about how the winners of the 2013 Volvo Trucks Safety Award integrate safety into every facet of their operations. Tidewater Transit and MCO Transport have made safety a top priority, and their outstanding performance refl ects that commitment. For more insight into running a safe and fuel effi cient operation, Driver's Digest talks to John Paugh, CEO and owner of Carter Express, about how the I-Shift has made a difference in his fl eet. Next, experience the world- class photography and fascinating story about how a plan to protect the Nigerian city of Lagos' eroding shoreline turned into Africa's largest construction project – Eko Atlantic. Finally, go behind the scenes of the new Customer Experience Track at Volvo's New River Valley (NRV) assembly plant in Dublin, Va., where in-house talent designed and constructed the track. Now customers can not only watch their truck come off the line but also get behind the wheel and drive it around the 1.1-mile paved road course and off-highway area. It's been a long, cold winter, but we hope the stories and photography celebrating the Volvo global trucking world will put a spring in your step.
