A local trucking company hosted teens in central Illinois at Progress City earlier this week to stress the importance of truck safety.
Mitzie Hartman is the Safety Coordinator for McLeod Express and she says it stresses the importance of safety around commercial motor vehicles. She says it stresses safety and eliminating distractions.
The program puts youth in a truck to give them an idea of what a truck driver sees as they drive and the Macon County Farm Bureau stepped up to add implements to the seminar as well.
Students from Clinton to Central A&M and Sullivan in everywhere in between were part of the event from 9 am to 2 pm.
