Volvo Rents in Tampa, Florida recently helped Troop 314 of the Boy Scouts deliver approximately 1000 bags of mulch for their yearly fundraiser. Volvo donated the use of an F350 pick-up truck and a trailer to haul the mulch to customers. Our involvement and delivery truck aided in the delivery of approximately half of the mulch bags to 50 customers and allowed the troop to complete the task in under four hours.

 

Troop 314, based in Odessa, Florida is led by George Cucchi and has close to 30 active scouts who were able to raise over $1400.00 during this fundraiser. The money raised by the scouts will help the troop develop the character and core values of the boys through activities, events and campouts.

See something, say something. Those words are so true in this day and age with all that we do on a daily basis. Over the past month we have witnessed an attack on Boston, a major fire/explosion in Texas and other things throughout this great country of ours. With that in mind we must remember to stay vigilant in our day to day activities to ensure we are doing all we can to keep ourselves and those around us safe.

 

Did you know that you or a coworker are more likely to get hurt or killed on the job than getting hurt or killed in a terrorist attack? Every day we go to work we face certain potential dangers. The moment you get into a car you have to look out for the ‘other guy.’ When we get to our job we have to follow policy and procedures to ensure our safety. If we...
