FT Silfies To Get Kids To Design next Theme Truck

 

Nazareth, PA – FT Silfies Inc., a regional mid Atlantic dry bulk carrier has sponsored a contest for employee’s children and grandchildren to design their next theme tractor.

 

“We run about 10 theme tractors at Silfies that are significant to our company.  The theme tractors very from a WW II battle scene to Flames to an American Eagle clutching an American flag on the hood,” stated John Allen, Vice President of Operations Support.  “We decided to sponsor a contest for children and grandchildren to help design our next tractor which will be painted and unveiled this summer.  We have tremendous pride of ownership and our drivers love these tractors.  The calls we get into our office from the public are overwhelming when they say they saw our truck in a certain state and how much they liked the equipment,” added Allen.

 

“We launched the contest in our bi-monthly newsletter and children can get as creative as they want with the theme.  They are required to write a few short sentences as to what the theme represents, why they thought of it and once the winner is selected, we will offer a $500 US Savings bond, 4 front row seats to a Philadelphia Phillies game, their name on the truck as the designer and a profile in our next newsletter with the winning theme,” added John.  “We’re excited for the kids and Randy Sheeler, our President & CEO has already started to get some amazing and creative designs.”

 

Some of the theme trucks can be seen on our website at www.silfies.com
