How DVC's Trailers Are Perfect for Transporting Mulch, Stone, Sand and Soil for Landscaping Projects






It was a busy and cold day for the 17th Annual Touch-a-Truck event on Sunday, April 21st. As the vehicles arrived, the excitement for the day was brewing. There was so much to see with 27 businesses who brought vehicle exhibits and 20 businesses as vendors at the event, which was held at the FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading, PA. There were 2,000 attendees, making it the biggest Touch-a-Truck ever! This year, we had two vehicles from the Empire Group at the event. Jimmy Blatt brought a DVC tri-axle dump truck and Eric Roush brought an Empire Services’ day cab for eager children to explore. As we set up our table, it was great to see old friends as well as meet new ones. The DVC team was excited to meet the families and to provide information about the trucks, DVC, and the Empire Group.
DVC’s table was set up at the start of the vehicles area between Redner’s Markets and The Junkluggers. We were kept on our toes not only to help the kids into the vehicles but also to stay warm! By walking around the event, it was clear that there were more exhibitors and families this year. The kids loved learning about the different vehicles and collecting giveaways. The DVC team handed out safety stress relievers and baseball piggy banks to the kids as they waited in line to see the trucks. The baseball piggy banks flew off the table and were gone by 12:30 PM! The vendors provided samples and educated families on their services, along with those selling their goods.
From towering construction vehicles (i.e. the crane) to the reassuring presence of Reading Police vehicles, there was no shortage of excitement for children to experience. Behind the scenes, the Junior League of Reading orchestrated the event flawlessly, their dedication ensuring its success and enabling the continuation of vital youth programs in the community.
DVC extends heartfelt gratitude to the Junior League for their unwavering commitment and the opportunity to be part of such a remarkable event. With anticipation building for next year's gathering, the team eagerly looks forward to creating more lasting memories and fostering connections within the vibrant Reading community.
