On January 22 2004, FRTL participated in a "No Zone Blitz" with the Florida Trucking Association and Florida Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Compliance. This event was held in the Tampa area high schools. We were one of five companies who supplied their No Zone unit. Our assigned school was Ridgewood High in New Port Richey.

During the day, 125 driver education students learned about sharing the road with tractor-trailers.

To learn where the blind spots are, the students were allowed to sit in the cab to see if they could see the vehicles that had been positioned on each side and rear of the trailer in the blind spots. This program was very well received by the students and faculty. Hopefully, the students will now know what our drivers have to look out for and how they can make themselves visible while driving around tractor-trailers. Many Thanks to Billy Starling for bringing the truck down from Jacksonville.
