Nitro Toots Its Horn at Career Days

Christopher Hesse, Nitro Transload Terminal truck driver

Christopher Hesse normally drives a truck for the Nitro Transload Terminal in West Virginia, but in late February he drove his truck to a local school to teach the students in his son’s second grade class about a career in truck driving.

Hesse and his Terminal Manager Rob Oliva attended the career day and had a great time speaking with local students, teachers, and parents about careers in the trucking industry. They, and several others from the community, spoke to a group of about 40 second graders at Albans Elementary School in St. Albans, West Virginia, as part of Career Day.

Although unable to give any rides in the semi-truck, Hesse got creative and lengthened the air horn strap hanging in the cap of his truck so that the students could sound the truck’s horn from ground level.

“This was a great effort by Chris, as community relations is always at the forefront of our mission and growth,” said Terminal Manager Rob Oliva. “I would like to also take a minute to thank the team that pulled together to fill the gaps while Chris was away from the terminal.”
